Events during the Open Access Week 2018
Against the backdrop of the Open Access Week 2018, ETH Library invites you to two virtual events on open access publishing, openness and FAIR data. Read more
SCNAT workshop on open data and data management
The Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT) is organising a workshop on the topics of open data and data management on 29 October 2018. Read more
Open access: the new story on Explora
It’s the year 2024: a scientist in Sudan, a family member of a patient with a rare disease in the USA, a farmer in China – they are all able to access the latest findings from academia at any time, without restriction and free of charge. As a result, they can develop new energy supply options for their community, prepare for visits to the doctor or follow the latest research on varieties and seeds. Read more

Sicherstellung einer langfristig guten Gleislage in atmenden Bögen
(2018)Die Entwicklung des lückenlos verschweissten Gleises (LVG) war einer der grössten Fortschritte des Gleisbaus im 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Konzept hinsichtlich der Gleislagestabilität änderte sich damit grundlegend: Unter thermischer Belastung reduzierten sich beim früheren Stosslückengleis die Längsspannungen in den Schienen, da sich diese in den verlaschten Stössen frei ausdehnen konnten. Das charakteristische Schlaggeräusch, welches beim ...Doctoral Thesis -
Risk assessment of worldwide refinery accidents using advanced classification methods: Effects of refinery configuration and geographic location on outcome risk levels
(2018)Safety and Reliability – Safe Societies in a Changing WorldA global dataset of refinery accidents for the years 1990–2016 was analyzed to evaluate the capacity of 16 attributes to differentiate between accidents that cause or not fatalities. For this purpose a Dominance-based Rough Set Approach (DRSA) analysis was carried out. The quality of approximation and accuracy measures confirmed that the established information table is able to distinguish outcome levels in terms of fatalities. ...Conference Paper -
Densifying Sparse VIO: a Mesh-based approach using Structural Regularities.
(2018)The ideal vision system for an autonomous robot would not only provide the robot’s position and orientation (localization), but also an accurate and complete model of the scene (mapping). While localization information allows for controlling the robot, a map of the scene allows for collision-free navigation; combined, a robot can achieve full autonomy. Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) algorithms have shown impressive localization results ...Master Thesis -
Challenges of Real-Scale Production with Smart Dynamic Casting
(2018)RILEM BookseriesDigital fabrication with concrete has for more than a decade been of high interest in both research institutions and industries. A particular interest has been set on Contour Crafting, a type of layered extrusion with concrete, which in recent years has been used for the fabrication of single and multi-story buildings. However, these have been done with little proof of systematic integration of reinforcement, which until now still ...Conference Proceedings -
Potentials of Steel Fibres for Mesh Mould Elements
(2018)RILEM BookseriesMesh Mould is a digital fabrication technique developed at ETH Zurich in which the reinforcement and formwork production are unified in a robotically controlled system. An industrial robot fabricates a dense, threedimensional, double-sided, welded reinforcement mesh that is infilled with a special concrete mix that achieves sufficient compaction without flowing out the mesh, which acts as porous formwork. Since the project started ...Conference Proceedings
