For design firms to stay in business in this very competitive market, they need to manage their resources in a way that improves productivity and cost effectiveness. This task, however, is not simple and requires thorough analysis of process-level operations, resource use, and productivity. Typically, these operational aspects are the responsibility of the design office manager who assigns available resources to the different design projects to save time and lower design expenses. It is noted that limited studies have been carried out in the literature to model overall organizational operations and behavioral aspects, particularly in firms specialized in the design of building projects. In an effort to simplify the modeling process, a simplified modeling and simulation tool is used in this research. A simulation model representing an actual design office was developed assuming that the office performs designs for small, medium, and large size building projects. The developed model was used to simulate several alternatives and examine various resource assignment strategies. The simulation was conducted over ten years and the resulting productivity and income was measured.}, subject = {Baubetrieb}, language = {en} } @article{Volkova2004, author = {Volkova, Viktorija}, title = {The analysis of dynamic behaviour of pre-stressed systems under polyharmonic excitations}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.265}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2656}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Pre-stressed structural elements are widely used in large-span structures.

In the first part of the thesis, a methodology for macroscopic crack growth simulations for concrete structures using a cohesive discrete crack approach based on the extended finite element method is introduced. Particular attention is turned to the investigation of criteria for crack initiation and crack growth. A drawback of the macroscopic simulation is that the real physical phenomena leading to the nonlinear behavior are only modeled phenomenologically. For concrete, the nonlinear behavior is characterized by the initiation of microcracks which coalesce into macroscopic cracks. In order to obtain a higher resolution of this failure zones, a mesoscale model for concrete is developed that models particles, mortar matrix and the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) explicitly. The essential features are a representation of particles using a prescribed grading curve, a material formulation based on a cohesive approach for the ITZ and a combined model with damage and plasticity for the mortar matrix. Compared to numerical simulations, the response of real structures exhibits a stochastic scatter. This is e.g. due to the intrinsic heterogeneities of the structure. For mesoscale models, these intrinsic heterogeneities are simulated by using a random distribution of particles and by a simulation of spatially variable material parameters using random fields. There are two major problems related to numerical simulations on the mesoscale. First of all, the material parameters for the constitutive description of the materials are often difficult to measure directly. In order to estimate material parameters from macroscopic experiments, a parameter identification procedure based on Bayesian neural networks is developed which is universally applicable to any parameter identification problem in numerical simulations based on experimental results. This approach offers information about the most probable set of material parameters based on experimental data and information about the accuracy of the estimate. Consequently, this approach can be used a priori to determine a set of experiments to be carried out in order to fit the parameters of a numerical model to experimental data. The second problem is the computational effort required for mesoscale simulations of a full macroscopic structure. For this purpose, a coupling between mesoscale and macroscale model is developed. Representative mesoscale simulations are used to train a metamodel that is finally used as a constitutive model in a macroscopic simulation. Special focus is placed on the ability of appropriately simulating unloading.}, subject = {Beton}, language = {en} } @article{StaubFrench2004, author = {Staub-French, Sheryl}, title = {Feature-based Product Modeling for Building Construction}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.233}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2331}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Current building product models explicitly represent components, attributes of components, and relationships between components.

This paper describes the ontology we developed using the manufacturing concept of features to represent the design conditions that are important for construction. The feature ontology provides the blueprint for the additions and changes needed to transform a standard product model into a constructionspecific product model. The ontology formalizes three classes of features, defines the attributes and functions of each feature type, and represents the relationships between features explicitly. The descriptive semantics of the ontology allows practitioners to represent their varied preferences for naming features, specifying features that result from component intersections and the similarity of components, and grouping features that affect a specific construction domain.

Dessen Leistungsf{\"a}higkeit wird durch Verifikationsrechnungen und die Simulation eigener Versuche aufgezeigt. In diesen Versuchen wurde das Tragverhalten spezieller Schubverbindungselemente der Brettstapel-Beton-Verbundbauweise untersucht. Die Kombination eines Brettstapels mit einer schubfest angeschlossenen Betonplatte ist eine vorteilhafte M{\"o}glichkeit, Schnittholz mit geringem Querschnitt effektiv in biegebeanspruchten Bauteilen einzusetzen. Es werden die Ergebnisse der experimentellen Untersuchungen zu den Schubverbindungselementen Flachstahlschloss und Nutverbindung vorgestellt. Diese zeichnen sich durch eine {\"u}ber die gesamte Plattenbreite kontinuierliche {\"U}bertragung der Schubkraft per Kontaktpressung aus. Vor allem in Brettstapel-Beton-Verbunddecken werden somit ein sehr hoher Verschiebungsmodul sowie eine eminente Tragf{\"a}higkeit erreicht. Um mit numerischen Strukturanalysen die in den Versuchen beobachteten Versagensmechanismen ad{\"a}quat abbilden und realistische Prognosen f{\"u}r das Tragverhalten von Bauteilen oder Verbindungen treffen zu k{\"o}nnen, muss das physikalisch nichtlineare Verhalten aller beteiligter Baustoffe in die Berechnungen einbezogen werden. Im Rahmen der Dissertation wurde ein auf der Plastizit{\"a}tstheorie basierendes Materialmodell f{\"u}r Nadelholz hergeleitet und in das FE-Programm ANSYS implementiert, welches die Mikrostruktur des Holzes als verschmierendes Ersatzkontinuum erfasst. Anhand des anatomischen Aufbaus des inhomogenen, anisotropen und porigen Werkstoffs werden die holzspezifischen Versagensmechanismen und die daraus abgeleiteten konstitutiven Beziehungen erl{\"a}utert. Das ausgepr{\"a}gt anisotrope Tragverhalten von Holz ist vor allem durch erstaunliche Duktilit{\"a}t bei Stauchung, spr{\"o}des Versagen bei Zug- und Schubbeanspruchung und enorme Festigkeitsunterschiede in den Wuchsrichtungen gekennzeichnet. Die Auswirkungen der gr{\"o}ßtenteils unabh{\"a}ngig voneinander auftretenden, mikromechanischen Versagensmechanismen auf die Spannungs-Verformungsbeziehungen wurden durch die Formulierung ad{\"a}quater Ver- resp. Entfestigungsfunktionen in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit der Beanspruchungsmodi erfasst. Das dem Materialmodell zu Grunde liegende mehrfl{\"a}chige Fließkriterium ber{\"u}cksichtigt die Interaktion aller sechs Komponenten des r{\"a}umlichen Spannungszustandes. Die durchgef{\"u}hrten Verifikations- und Simulationsberechnungen belegen, dass der erarbeitete Ansatz sowohl zur Bewertung des Tragverm{\"o}gens als auch zur Beurteilung von Riss- bzw. Sch{\"a}digungsursachen von Holzbauteilen eingesetzt werden kann. Die numerische Simulation er{\"o}ffnet neue, bisher wenig beachtete M{\"o}glichkeiten zur Untersuchung komplexer Holzstrukturen sowie Anschlussdetails und wird sich auf Grund der Aussagekraft und Flexibilit{\"a}t auch im Ingenieurholzbau mehr und mehr gegen{\"u}ber ausschließlich experimenteller Untersuchung durchsetzen.}, subject = {Holzbau}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{GebbekenBaumhauerIonita2004, author = {Gebbeken, Norbert and Baumhauer, Andreas and Ionita, Mihai}, title = {Increasing the Reliability and Performance through Automatization and Parallel Working}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.139}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1397}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Re-examination of the behaviour of structures can be necessary due to deterioration or changes in the traffic situation during their lifetime.

Considering the development of computer performance, more detailed FEM models can be analyzed, even on site, with mobile computers. To compensate the increasing amount of data needed for the model input, measures need to be taken to save time, by distributing the work. In order to provide consistency to the model, fedback data must be checked upon reception. A local wireless computer network of ultra-portable devices linked together with a computer can provide the coordination necessary for efficient parallel working.

Besides these educational intentions the social and cultural component of the meeting has been in the focus. 48 graduate and doctoral students from 20 different countries and 22 lecturers from 12 countries attended this summer school. Among other aspects, this activity can be considered successful as it raised the sensitivity towards both the significance of research in civil engineering and the role of intercultural exchange. This volume summarizes and publishes some of the results: abstracts of key note papers presented by the experts and selected student research works.
