This paper reports on progress of a project, which aims to achieve better integrated building and systems control modeling in building performance simulation by run-time coupling of distributed computer programs. These requirements motivate the use of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), which offers sufficient advantage than communication within simple abstraction. However, set up highly available applications with CORBA is hard. Neither control modeling software nor building performance environments have simple interface with CORBA objects. Therefore, this paper describes an architectural solution to distributed control and building performance software tools with CORBA objects. Then, it explains how much the developement of CORBA based distributed building control simulation applications is difficult. The paper finishes by giving some recommendations.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{VilceanuAbrahamczykMorgenthal, author = {V{\^i}lceanu, Victor and Abrahamczyk, Lars and Morgenthal, Guido}, title = {Nonlinear Analysis of Structures: Wind Induced Vibrations}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4033}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20191122-40337}, pages = {183}, abstract = {The proceedings at hand are the result of the International Master Course Module: "Nonlinear Analysis of Structures: Wind Induced Vibrations" held at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Bauhaus-University Weimar, Germany in the summer semester 2019 (April - August). This material summarizes the results of the project work done throughout the semester, provides an overview of the topic, as well as impressions from the accompanying programme. Wind Engineering is a particular field of Civil Engineering that evaluates the resistance of structures caused by wind loads. Bridges, high-rise buildings, chimneys and telecommunication towers might be susceptible to wind vibrations due to their increased flexibility, therefore a special design is carried for this aspect. Advancement in technology and scientific studies permit us doing research at small scale for more accurate analyses. Therefore scaled models of real structures are built and tested for various construction scenarios. These models are placed in wind tunnels where experiments are conducted to determine parameters such as: critical wind speeds for bridge decks, static wind coefficients and forces for buildings or bridges. The objective of the course was to offer insight to the students into the assessment of long-span cable-supported bridges and high-rise buildings under wind excitation. The participating students worked in interdisciplinary teams to increase their knowledge in the understanding and influences on the behaviour of wind-sensitive structures.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @article{vanTreeckRank2004, author = {van Treeck, Christoph and Rank, Ernst}, title = {Analysis of building structure and topology based on Graph Theory}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.230}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-2308}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Individual views on a building product of people involved in the design process imply different models for planning and calculation.

Collaboration amongst team members seperated in time and location is of particular importance. Two broad themes can be recognized in research pertaining to distributed collaboration. One theme focusses on the technical and technological aspects of distributed work, while the other emphasises human aspects thereof. The case of finite element structural analysis in a distributed collaboratory is examined in this paper. An approach is taken which has its roots in human aspects of the structural analysis task. Based on experience of how structural engineers currently approach and execute this task while utilising standard software designed for use on local workstations only, criteria are stated for a software architechture that could support collaborative structural analysis.

Der Ausbau der Inter-City-Express-Strecke zwischen Hannover und Berlin bedingte eine Umplanung großer Streckenabschnitte der Deutschen Bahn AG. Im Zeitalter der computergest{\"u}tzten Informationsverarbeitung sind gerade auf dem Gebiet der Tragwerksplanung konstruktiver Ingenieurbauten vielf{\"a}ltige M{\"o}glichkeiten gegeben. So ist bei der Planung von Br{\"u}ckenneubauten eine durchgehende computergest{\"u}tzte Konstruktion und Tragwerksplanung vom Vorentwurf bis hin zur Fertigung m{\"o}glich.

The approach is based on the Petri Net theory for the modelling of planning processes and workflows in Structural Engineering. Firstly, a central and coarse process model serves as a pre-structuring system for the detailed modelling of the technical planning activities. Secondly, the involved planning participants generate distributed process models with detailed technical workflow information. Finally, these distributed process models will be combined in the central workflow net. The final net is of great importance for the process orientation in Structural Engineering, i.e., the identification, publication, analysis, optimization and finally the management of planning processes.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} } @misc{Rahn2007, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Rahn, Andre}, title = {"Monitoring an Br{\"u}ckenkappen mit Tellerankern"}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.1274}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20080307-13431}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {2007}, abstract = {Br{\"u}ckenkappen gew{\"a}hrleisten die Trennung der Verkehrsr{\"a}ume Fahrbahn und Gehweg und m{\"u}ssen aufgrund ihrer Anordnung im Querschnitt Schutz- und Leiteinrichtungen aufnehmen.

The industry is highly fragmented, price sensitive, risk-adverse, and profit margins are small. Each project is unique with a small amount of technological innovation opportunities to capitalise on from one project to the next. Technological innovations that have been taking place are just simulating the old traditional paper workflow. Engineering information in digital form is being conveyed using traditional paper representations, which have to be interpreted by humans before the information can be used in other applications, thereby creating 'islands of information'. It can be seen that poorly implemented IT strategies are duplicating paperwork, rather than reducing or eliminating it (Crowley et al., 2000).

The application described there has a standalone component for executing the finite element method on a local workstation in the absence of network access. This application is comparable to current, local workstation based finite element packages. However, it differs fundamentally from standard packages since the application itself, and its objects, are adapted to support distributed execution of the analysis task. Basic aspects of an object-oriented framework for the development of applications which can be used in similar distributed collaboratories are described in this paper. An important feature of this framework is its application-centred design. This means that an application can contain any number of engineering models, where the models are formed by the collection of objects according to semantic views within the application. This is achieved through very flexible classes Application and Model, which are described in detail. The advantages of the application-centred design approach is demonstrated with reference to the design of steel structures, where the finite element analysis model, member design model and connection design model interact to provide the required functionality.}, subject = {Ingenieurbau}, language = {en} }
