  abstract  = {Increasing structural robustness is the goal which is of interest for structural engineering community. The partial collapse of RC buildings is subject of this dissertation. Understanding the robustness of RC buildings will guide the development of safer structures against abnormal loading scenarios such as; explosions, earthquakes, fine, and/or long-term accumulation effects leading to deterioration or fatigue. Any of these may result in local immediate structural damage, that can propagate to the rest of the structure causing what is known by the disproportionate collapse. This work handels collapse propagation through various analytical approaches which simplifies the mechanical description of damaged reinfoced concrete structures due to extreme acidental event.},

  abstract  = {The complex failure process of concrete structures can not be described in detail by standard engineering design formulas. The numerical analysis of crack development in concrete is essential for several problems. In the last decades a large number of research groups have dealt with this topic and several models and algorithms were developed. However, most of these methods show some difficulties and are limited to special cases. The goal of this study was to develop an automatic algorithm for the efficient simulation of multiple cracking in plain and reinforced concrete structures of medium size. For this purpose meshless methods were used to describe the growth of crack surfaces. Two meshless interpolation schemes were improved for a simple application. The cracking process of concrete has been modeled using a stable criterion for crack growth in combination with an improved cohesive crack model which can represent the failure process under combined crack opening and crack sliding very well. This crack growth algorithm was extended in order to represent the fluctuations of the concrete properties by enlarging the single-parameter random field concept for multiple correlated material parameters.},

  abstract  = {Der Zusammenhang zwischen Sch{\"a}digung und der Ver{\"a}nderung dynamischer und statischer Eigenschaften von Stahlbetonstrukturen wird untersucht. Auf der einen Seite stehen die statischen Lastversuche in Verbindung mit dynamischen Experimenten an Stahlbetonstrukturen (Platten und Balken). Auf der anderen Seite wird f{\"u}r die Balkenstrukturen ein nichtlineares Stochastisches Finite Elemente Modell entwickelt. Dies ber{\"u}cksichtigt zuf{\"a}llige Material- und Festigkeitseigenschaften durch r{\"a}umlich korrelierte Zufallsfelder. So werden stochastische Rissentwicklungen f{\"u}r den Stahlbeton simuliert. F{\"u}r die Berechnungen vieler Realisationen und damit verschiedenartige "Lebensgeschichten" einer Struktur wird als Monte Carlo Methode Latin Hypercube Sampling verwendet. Die Auswertung der Strukturantworten f{\"u}r die Lastgeschichte zeigt den Einfluss der zuf{\"a}lligen Eigenschaften auf die Sch{\"a}digungsentwicklung. Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Bewertung und zum zuk{\"u}nftigen Einsatz dynamischer Untersuchungsmethoden im Bauwesen.},
