The consideration of uncertainties in the model quality becomes more and more important with the development of new construction methods and design requirements. In addition to the traditional forced-based approaches, experiences and observations about the deformation behavior of components and the overall structure under different exposure conditions allow the introduction of novel detection and evaluation criteria.

Software that intends to support such collaborative structural design processes implicates enormous requirements. In the course of our common research work, we analyzed the pros and cons of the application of both the peer-to-peer (University of Bonn) and multiagent architecture style (University of Bochum) within the field of collaborative structural design. In this paper, we join the benefits of both architecture styles in an integrated conceptual approach. We demonstrate the surplus value of the integrated multiagent-peer-to-peer approach by means of an example scenario in which several structural engineers are co-operatively designing the basic structural elements of an arched bridge, applying heterogeneous CAD systems.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BubnerFriedrich2003, author = {Bubner, Andre and Friedrich, Torsten}, title = {Klassifikation und Definition baufachlicher Verkn{\"u}pfungstypen als Basis zur Modell{\"u}berf{\"u}hrung im konstruktiven Ingenieurbau}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.283}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2834}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Die Bearbeitung von Bauprojekten erfordert ein hohes Maß an Fachwissen verschiedener Disziplinen.

Therefore, to open the great opportunity embedded in CAD software for clients globally, the language and character-set barrier of traditional user-interfaces must be overcome.

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used in order to accomplish numerical analysis. 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. Based on a digital model consisting of all data gathered, structural modelling and numerical analysis are performed automatically.

The first system facilitates collaborative structural design processes, the second one supports fire engineering in buildings. Both approaches are part of two different research projects that belong to the DFG1 priority program 1103 entitled "Network-based Co-operative Planning Processes in Structural Engineering" (DFG 2000). The two approaches provide similar database wrapper agents to integrate relevant design information into two multi-agent systems: Database wrapper agents make the relevant product model data usable for further agents in the multi-agent system, independent on their physical location. Thus, database wrapper agents act as an interface between multi-agent system and heterogeneous database systems. The communication between the database wrapper agents and other requesting agents presumes a common vocabulary: a specific database ontology that maps database related message contents into database objects. Hereby, the software-wrapping technology enables the various design experts to plug in existing database systems and data resources into a specific multi-agent system easily. As a consequence, dynamic changes in the design information of large collaborative engineering projects are adequately supported. The flexible architecture of the database wrapper agent concept is demonstrated by the integration of an XML and a relational database system.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Hartmann2004, author = {Hartmann, Ulrich C.}, title = {Collaboration in AEC Design : Web-enabling Applications using Peer-to-Peer Office Communicator}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.138}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1386}, year = {2004}, abstract = {A market analysis conducted by Gartner Dataquest in August 2001 has shown the typical characteristics of the AEC design process. High volatility in membership of AEC design groups and members dispersed over several external offices is the common collaboration scenario. Membership is most times short lived, compared to the overall duration of the process. A technical solution has to take that into account by making joining and leaving a collaborative work group very easy. The modelling of roles of collaboration between group members must be based on a commonly understood principle like the publisher / subscriber model, where the individual that is responsible for the distribution of vital information is clear. Security issues and trust in the confidentiality of the system is a central concern for the acceptance of the system. Therefore, keeping the subset of data that will be published under the absolute control of the publisher is a must. This is not the case with server-based scenarios, sometimes even due to psychological reasons. A loosely bound Peer-to-Peer network offers advantages over a server-based solution, because of less administrative overhead and simple installation procedures. In a peer-to-peer environment, a publish/subscribe role model can be more easily implemented. The publish/subscribe model matches the way AEC processes are modelled in real world scenarios today, where legal proof of information exchange between external offices is of high importance. Workflow management systems for small to midsize companies of the AEC industry may adopt the peer-to-peer approach to collaboration in the future. Further investigations are being made on the research level (WINDS) by integrating the viewer and redlining application Collaborate! into a collaborative environment.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Karaki, author = {Karaki, Ghada}, title = {Assessment of coupled models of bridges considering time-dependent vehicular loading}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1589}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20120402-15894}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {184}, abstract = {Bridge vibration due to traffic loading has been a subject of extensive research in the last decades. The focus of such research has been to develop solution algorithms and investigate responses or behaviors of interest. However, proving the quality and reliability of the model output in structural engineering has become a topic of increasing importance. Therefore, this study is an attempt to extend concepts of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to assess the dynamic response of a coupled model in bridge engineering considering time-dependent vehicular loading. A setting for the sensitivity analysis is proposed, which enables performing the sensitivity analysis considering random stochastic processes. The classical and proposed sensitivity settings are used to identify the relevant input parameters and models that have the most influence on the variance of the dynamic response. The sensitivity analysis exercises the model itself and extracts results without the need for measurements or reference solutions; however, it does not offer a means of ranking the coupled models studied. Therefore, concepts of total uncertainty are employed to rank the coupled models studied according to their fitness in describing the dynamic problem. The proposed procedures are applied in two examples to assess the output of coupled subsystems and coupled partial models in bridge engineering considering the passage of a heavy vehicle at various speeds.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @article{Krzizek1997, author = {Krzizek, H.}, title = {Zur bauingenieurgerechten Speicherung von Entwurfspl{\"a}nen des konstruktiven Ingenieurbaues in Datenbanken}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.485}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-4850}, year = {1997}, abstract = {Es wird gezeigt, daß im allgemeinen die Zeichnungsinhalte von Entwurfspl{\"a}nen im konstruktiven Ingenieurbau in Teilzeichnungen zerlegt werden k{\"o}nnen, denen fachspezifische Objekte des Bauwesen entsprechen.
