To enable the further use and preservation of nailed roof trusses, it is important to understand how the nail corrosion and aging processes of steel and wood affect the load-bearing capacity and deformation behaviour of such structures. The hypothesis was investigated whether corroded nails allow an increase in load-bearing capacity. Several old and new joints were tested in a first test series, and the results were very promising regarding the initial assumption. However, more tests must be carried out to verify the results.}, subject = {Holzbau}, language = {en} } @article{RabczukZhuangOterkus, author = {Rabczuk, Timon and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Oterkus, Erkan}, title = {Editorial: Computational modeling based on nonlocal theory}, series = {Engineering with Computers}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Engineering with Computers}, number = {Volume 39, issue 3}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {London}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00366-022-01775-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230517-63658}, pages = {1}, abstract = {Nonlocal theories concern the interaction of objects, which are separated in space.

Here, it is of great importance to use raw materials whose use does not compete with food production. In addition, the performance of the newly developed materials should be comparable to that of conventional products. Possible starting materials are lignin degradation products, such as vanillin and syringaldehyde, for which new synthesis routes to the desired products must be found and their properties determined. In this article, the first synthesis of two amine hardeners, starting with vanillin and syringaldehyde, using the Smiles rearrangement reaction is reported. The amine hardeners were mixed with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, and the curing was compared to isophorone diamine, 4-4′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, and 4-Aminonbenzylamine by means of differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the two amines prepared are cold-curing. As TG-MS studies showed, the thermal stability of at least one of the polymers prepared with the potentially bio-based amines is comparable to that of the polymer prepared with isophorone diamine, and similar degradation products are formed during pyrolysis.}, subject = {Epoxide}, language = {en} } @article{PartschefeldTutalHalmansederetal., author = {Partschefeld, Stephan and Tutal, Adrian and Halmanseder, Thomas and Schneider, Jens and Osburg, Andrea}, title = {Investigations on Stability of Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers in Alkaline Activators for Geopolymer Binders}, series = {Materials}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Materials}, number = {Volume 16, issue 15, article 5369}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/ma16155369}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20231026-64809}, pages = {1 -- 14}, abstract = {Calcined clays are interesting starting materials to be used as SCMs (supplementary cementitious materials) in cements or to be converted to geopolymers by activation with a high alkaline activator. The adjustment of the properties in the fresh state, especially regarding the consistency of these binders, is almost exclusively achieved by the addition of water, since commercially available superplasticizers seem to be ineffective in low-calcium geopolymer systems. The aim of this study was a systematic investigation of various PCE (polycarboxylate ester/ether) superplasticizers (methacrylate ester PCE: MPEG, isoprenol ether PCE: IPEG, methallyl ether PCE: HPEG) with respect to their stability in different alkaline activators (NaOH, KOH, sodium and potassium silicate solutions). The effectiveness of superplasticizers (SPs) in low-calcium geopolymer binders was verified by rheological tests. Size exclusion chromatography was used to investigate if structural degradation of the superplasticizers occurs. The investigated PCE superplasticizers showed a thickening effect in the low-calcium geopolymer system. Depending on the alkalinity of the activator solution, a degradation process was detected for all the PCEs investigated. The side chains of the PCEs are cleaved off the backbone by basic ester and ether hydrolysis. The highest degree of degradation was found in sodium and potassium silicate solutions. In alkaline hydroxide solutions, the degradation process increases with increasing alkalinity.}, subject = {Geopolymere}, language = {en} } @article{AlsaadSchaelteSchneeweissetal., author = {Alsaad, Hayder and Sch{\"a}lte, Gereon and Schneeweiß, Mario and Becher, Lia and Pollack, Moritz and Gena, Amayu Wakoya and Schweiker, Marcel and Hartmann, Maria and Voelker, Conrad and Rossaint, Rolf and Irrgang, Matthias}, title = {The Spread of Exhaled Air and Aerosols during Physical Exercise}, series = {Journal of Clinical Medicine}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Journal of Clinical Medicine}, number = {Volume 12, issue 4, article 1300}, publisher = {Basel}, address = {MDPI}, doi = {10.3390/jcm12041300}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230208-49262}, pages = {20}, abstract = {Physical exercise demonstrates a special case of aerosol emission due to its associated elevated breathing rate. This can lead to a faster spread of airborne viruses and respiratory diseases. Therefore, this study investigates cross-infection risk during training. Twelve human subjects exercised on a cycle ergometer under three mask scenarios: no mask, surgical mask, and FFP2 mask. The emitted aerosols were measured in a grey room with a measurement setup equipped with an optical particle sensor. The spread of expired air was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed using schlieren imaging. Moreover, user satisfaction surveys were conducted to evaluate the comfort of wearing face masks during training. The results indicated that both surgical and FFP2 masks significantly reduced particles emission with a reduction efficiency of 87.1\% and 91.3\% of all particle sizes, respectively. However, compared to surgical masks, FFP2 masks provided a nearly tenfold greater reduction of the particle size range with long residence time in the air (0.3-0.5 μm). Furthermore, the investigated masks reduced exhalation spreading distances to less than 0.15 m and 0.1 m in the case of the surgical mask and FFP2 mask, respectively. User satisfaction solely differed with respect to perceived dyspnea between no mask and FFP2 mask conditions.}, subject = {Sport}, language = {en} } @article{BrokowLogaKrueger, author = {Brokow-Loga, Anton and Kr{\"u}ger, Timmo}, title = {Potentials of Climate Emergency Declarations for degrowth transformations.

We analyse the way in which two German 'climate emergency municipalities' translate conflicts of post-fossil transformation into concrete political and planning strategies. Although more than 2,200 authorities around the world have already declared a climate emergency, research on the impact of these resolutions on the political orientation of municipalities is very limited. Our research focus is on the (potentially agonistic) treatment of conflicts in planning. We argue that in times of a socio-ecological crisis, success in conflict resolution cannot refer to appeasement and depoliticisation. Instead, we propose a framework of five criteria, based on critical theory on ecomodern strategies, planning processes and degrowth. Thus, this practice-related and explorative paper connects empirical insights from the German cities of Constance and Berlin with an innovative normative framework. The findings tell a complex story of an, at least partial, admission of the failure of previous climate mitigation strategies, a lack of social institutions of limits, an instrumental relation to nature and a disregard for social injustices. The paper discusses how municipalities, in the context of ongoing tensions over the post-fossil transformation in Germany, on the one hand hold on to business-as-usual approaches, but on the other hand also set political impulses for change.}, subject = {Stadtentwicklung}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{VoellmeckeSchwendnerHoetal., author = {V{\"o}llmecke, Lars and Schwendner, Sascha and Ho, Ai Phien and Fischer, Jens and Seim, Werner}, title = {Assessment of nailed connections in existing structures}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.6361}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230609-63615}, pages = {7}, abstract = {This paper presents the development of an assessment scheme for a visual qualitative evaluation of nailed connections in existing structures, such as board trusses.

Since the 1970s, with the emergence of the discussions on 'place,' it has also been realized that the immigrant experience is associated with location. Nevertheless, due to the challenges in capturing the place and migration relevance, there is a gap in understanding the role of the migrant's geography of experiences and its outcomes (Phillips \& Robinson, 2015). This research aims to investigate the extent to which both the process of objective integration and the socio-spatial practices of high-skilled Iranian immigrants in Berlin outline and influence their sense of belonging to Berlin as the new "home." The embedded mixed-method design had employed for this study. The quantitative analysis through Pearson's correlation technique measured the strength of the association between Iranians' settlement distribution and the characteristics of Berlins' districts. The quantitative analysis provides contextual data to get a greater level of understanding of the case study's interaction with place. The units of place intend to demonstrate the case study's presence and possible interaction with places around their settlement location that relatively shapes their perception. The qualitative analysis comprises ethnographic fieldwork and semi-structured in-depth interviews with a homogeneous sample of Iranian immigrants in Berlin that provide data on individual and ethnic behaviors and trajectories and analyze the complex interactions between the immigrant's experience and the role of place. This research uncovers that Iranian highly skilled immigrants are successful in integrating objectively; However, in regards to their state of belonging, it illustrated the following: The role of socio-ethnic culture of the case study in denotation of home and belonging; Iranian high-skilled immigrants' efforts towards reaching a level of upward mobility overshadow their attempt to shape social and spatial interaction with Berliners and Berlin itself, which manifests both in their perception and use of urban space; and finally, the identification practice and the boundary-making as an act of reassurance and self-protection against the generalization of adjacent nationalities, demonstrated in the intersection of demographical settlement distribution of Iranians in Berlin and the ethnic diversity, impact the sense of belonging and place-making.}, subject = {Migration}, language = {en} }
