However, this influence is hardly quantified and virtually no damage models take it into account. Therefore, the influences of flow velocity, water depth and combinations of these two impact parameters on various types of flood damage were investigated in five communities affected by the Elbe catchment flood in Germany in 2002. 2-D hydraulic models with high to medium spatial resolutions were used to calculate the impact parameters at the sites in which damage occurred. A significant influence of flow velocity on structural damage, particularly on roads, could be shown in contrast to a minor influence on monetary losses and business interruption. Forecasts of structural damage to road infrastructure should be based on flow velocity alone. The energy head is suggested as a suitable flood impact parameter for reliable forecasting of structural damage to residential buildings above a critical impact level of 2m of energy head or water depth. However, general consideration of flow velocity in flood damage modelling, particularly for estimating monetary loss, cannot be recommended.}, subject = {Str{\"o}mungsgeschwindigkeit}, language = {en} } @article{KoenigBauriedel, author = {K{\"o}nig, Reinhard and Bauriedel, Christian}, title = {Generating settlement structures: a method for urban planning and analysis supported by cellular automata}, series = {Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design}, journal = {Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2605}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160624-26054}, pages = {602 -- 624}, abstract = {Previous models for the explanation of settlement processes pay little attention to the interactions between settlement spreading and road networks. On the basis of a dielectric breakdown model in combination with cellular automata, we present a method to steer precisely the generation of settlement structures with regard to their global and local density as well as the size and number of forming clusters. The resulting structures depend on the logic of how the dependence of the settlements and the road network is implemented to the simulation model. After analysing the state of the art we begin with a discussion of the mutual dependence of roads and land development. Next, we elaborate a model that permits the precise control of permeability in the developing structure as well as the settlement density, using the fewest necessary control parameters. On the basis of different characteristic values, possible settlement structures are analysed and compared with each other. Finally, we reflect on the theoretical contribution of the model with regard to the context of urban dynamics.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KoenigMueller, author = {K{\"o}nig, Reinhard and M{\"u}ller, Daniela}, title = {Simulating the development of residential areas of the city of Vienna from 1888 to 2001}, series = {Compendium of Abstracts of the 8th International Conference on Urban Planning and Environment (UPE8)}, booktitle = {Compendium of Abstracts of the 8th International Conference on Urban Planning and Environment (UPE8)}, address = {Kaiserslautern, Germany}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2606}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160622-26066}, pages = {23}, abstract = {The structure and development of cities can be seen and evaluated from different points of view. By replicating the growth or shrinkage of a city using historical maps depicting different time states, we can obtain momentary snapshots of the dynamic mechanisms of the city. An examination of how these snapshots change over the course of time and a comparison of the different static time states reveals the various interdependencies of population density, technical infrastructure and the availability of public transport facilities. Urban infrastructure and facilities are not distributed evenly across the city - rather they are subject to different patterns and speeds of spread over the course of time and follow different spatial and temporal regularities. The reasons and underlying processes that cause the transition from one state to another result from the same recurring but varyingly pronounced hidden forces and their complex interactions. Such forces encompass a variety of economic, social, cultural and ecological conditions whose respective weighting defines the development of a city in general. Urban development is, however, not solely a product of the different spatial distribution of economic, legal or social indicators but also of the distribution of infrastructure. But to what extent is the development of a city affected by the changing provision of infrastructure?

This modulus is typically associated with shear strain levels about 5*10^-3\% and below. The critical role of soil stiffness at small-strains in the design and analysis of geotechnical infrastructure is now widely accepted. Gmax is a key parameter in small-strain dynamic analyses such as those to predict soil behavior or soil-structure interaction during earthquake, explosions, machine or traffic vibration where it is necessary to know how the shear modulus degrades from its small-strain value as the level of shear strain increases. Gmax can be equally important for small-strain cyclic situations such as those caused by wind or wave loading and for small-strain static situations as well. Gmax may also be used as an indirect indication of various soil parameters, as it, in many cases, correlates well to other soil properties such as density and sample disturbance. In recent years, a technique using bender elements was developed to investigate the small-strain shear modulus Gmax. The objective of this thesis is to study the initial shear stiffness for various sands with different void ratios, densities, grain size distribution under dry and saturated conditions, then to compare empirical equations to predict Gmax and results from other testing devices with results of bender elements from this study.}, subject = {Soil}, language = {en} } @article{BimberIwai2009, author = {Bimber, Oliver and Iwai, Daisuke}, title = {Superimposing Dynamic Range}, series = {Eurographics 2009}, journal = {Eurographics 2009}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1532}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20120130-15325}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Replacing a uniform illumination by a high-frequent illumination enhances the contrast of observed and captured images.
