Therefore, a 3D micromodel was developed and calibrated thereafter, to gain more insight in the topic. The micromodels were calibrated against their equivalent physical test specimens of in-plane, out-of-plane drift driven tests on frames with and without infill walls and openings, as well as out-of-plane bend test of masonry walls. Micromodels were rectified based on their behavior and damage states. As a result of the calibration process, it was found that micromodels were sensitive and insensitive to various parameters, regarding the model's behavior and computational stability. It was found that, even within the same material model, some parameters had more effects when attributed to concrete rather than on masonry. Generally, the in-plane behavior of infilled frames was found to be largely governed by the interface material model. The out-of-plane masonry wall simulations were governed by the tensile strength of both the interface and masonry material model. Yet, the out-of-plane drift driven test was governed by the concrete material properties.}, subject = {Verwundbarkeit}, language = {en} } @article{BapirAbrahamczykWichtmannetal., author = {Bapir, Baban and Abrahamczyk, Lars and Wichtmann, Torsten and Prada-Sarmiento, Luis Felipe}, title = {Soil-structure interaction: A state-of-the-art review of modeling techniques and studies on seismic response of building structures}, series = {Frontiers in Built Environment}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Frontiers in Built Environment}, number = {Volume 9}, editor = {Ozturk, Baki}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, address = {Lausanne}, doi = {10.3389/fbuil.2023.1120351}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230206-49190}, pages = {1 -- 17}, abstract = {The present article aims to provide an overview of the consequences of dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) on building structures and the available modelling techniques to resolve SSI problems. The role of SSI has been traditionally considered beneficial to the response of structures. However, contemporary studies and evidence from past earthquakes showed detrimental effects of SSI in certain conditions. An overview of the related investigations and findings is presented and discussed in this article. Additionally, the main approaches to evaluate seismic soil-structure interaction problems with the commonly used modelling techniques and computational methods are highlighted. The strength, limitations, and application cases of each model are also discussed and compared. Moreover, the role of SSI in various design codes and global guidelines is summarized. Finally, the advancements and recent findings on the SSI effects on the seismic response of buildings with different structural systems and foundation types are presented. In addition, with the aim of helping new researchers to improve previous findings, the research gaps and future research tendencies in the SSI field are pointed out.}, subject = {Boden-Bauwerk-Wechselwirkung}, language = {en} } @article{AbrahamczykUzair, author = {Abrahamczyk, Lars and Uzair, Aanis}, title = {On the use of climate models for estimating the non-stationary characteristic values of climatic actions in civil engineering practice}, series = {Frontiers in Built Environment}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Frontiers in Built Environment}, number = {volume 9, article 1108328}, publisher = {Frontier Media}, address = {Lausanne}, doi = {10.3389/fbuil.2023.1108328}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230524-63751}, pages = {1 -- 9}, abstract = {The characteristic values of climatic actions in current structural design codes are based on a specified probability of exceedance during the design working life of a structure. These values are traditionally determined from the past observation data under a stationary climate assumption. However, this assumption becomes invalid in the context of climate change, where the frequency and intensity of climatic extremes varies with respect to time. This paper presents a methodology to calculate the non-stationary characteristic values using state of the art climate model projections. The non-stationary characteristic values are calculated in compliance with the requirements of structural design codes by forming quasi-stationary windows of the entire bias-corrected climate model data. Three approaches for the calculation of non-stationary characteristic values considering the design working life of a structure are compared and their consequences on exceedance probability are discussed.}, subject = {Klima{\"a}nderung}, language = {en} }
