DOI: 10.1016/j.autcon.2020.103232
Abstract: Abstract Multi-planar building facades, pose significant challenges to existing point cloud segmentation techniques, as most have an underlying assumption that all structural elements appear within only a single plane, which is often untrue. For architecturally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1464420720928569
Abstract: Flat ceramic tiles are widely used as protective and aesthetic construction elements in urban building facades. Under the effect of extreme temperatures from the weather seasonality, bonded joints of these tiles undergo thermal cycle’s loads.… read more here.
