  abstract  = {Complex gridshell structures used in architecturally ambitious constructions remain as appealing as ever in the public realm. This paper describes the theory and approach behind the software realisation of a tool which helps in finding the affine self-weight geometry of gridshell structures. The software tool DOMEdesign supports the formal design process of lattice and grid shell structures based upon the laws of physics. The computer-aided simulation of suspension models is used to derive structurally favourable forms for domes and arches subject to compression load, based upon the input of simple architectonic parameters. Irregular plans, three-dimensional topography, a choice different kinds of shell lattice structures and the desired height of the dome are examples of design parameters which can be used to modify the architectural design. The provision of data export formats for structural dimensioning and visualisation software enables engineers and planners to use the data in future planning and to communicate the design to the client.},

  abstract  = {The paper describes a concept for the step-by-step computer-aided capture and representation of geometric building data in the context of planning-oriented building surveying. Selected aspects of the concept have been implemented and tested as prototypes. The process of step-by-step capture and representation is determined by the order in which the user experiences the building. Only the information that the user knows (can see) or can reasonably deduce is represented. In addition approaches to the flexible combination of different measuring techniques and geometric abstractions are described which are based upon geodetic computational adjustment.},

  abstract  = {Die Arbeit beschreibt ein Konzept zur computergest{\"u}tzten, schrittweisen Erfassung und Abbildung der Geometrie von Geb{\"a}uden im Kontext der planungsrelevanten Bauaufnahme. Zun{\"a}chst wird die Bauaufnahme als Erstellung eines verwendungsspezifischen Modells betrachtet. Anschließend wird der Fokus auf das geometrische Abbild gelegt. Es werden u.a. die Aufmaßtechniken Handaufmaß, Tachymetrie und Photogrammetrie bewertet und geb{\"a}udetypische geometrische Abstraktionen aufgelistet. Danach erfolgt eine Aufstellung von Anforderungen an ein computergest{\"u}tztes Aufmaßsystem, welche mit kommerziellen L{\"o}sungen aus dem nichtgeod{\"a}tischen Bereich verglichen wird. Im Hauptteil wird das zu Beginn genannte Konzept beschrieben. Betrachtet wird die skizzenbasierte Erstellung eines nichtmaßlichen geometrischen Abbildes des Geb{\"a}udes in den Fr{\"u}hphasen der Bauaufnahme, seine anschließende schrittweise maßliche Anpassung an das Original und topologische Detaillierung im Zuge des Bauaufmaßes, sowie die Extraktion von Bauteilen und ihren geometrischen Parametern. Zur Vereinfachung der maßlichen Anpassung des geometrischen Abbildes im Aufmaßprozeß werden geometrische Abstraktionen wie Parallelit{\"a}ten, rechte Winkel usw. genutzt, aber nicht erzwungen. Mit Hilfe der Ausgleichungsrechnung erfolgt eine Zusammenf{\"u}hrung der geometrischen Abstraktionen und verschiedener Aufmaßtechniken. Es werden die n{\"o}tigen Beobachtungsgleichungen und andere relevante Aspekte beschrieben. Gezeigt wird weiter ein Konzept, wie ein nutzerseitig ver{\"a}nderbares Bauwerksmodell mit dem geometrischen Abbild in Bezug gebracht werden kann, wobei aus dem geometrischen Abbild geometrische Parameter des nutzerseitig ver{\"a}nderbaren Bauwerkmodells gewonnen werden k{\"o}nnen. Ausgesuchte Problematiken der Arbeit wurden prototypisch implementiert und getestet. Hierbei stand die Verbindung der Aufmaßtechniken und geometrischen Abstraktionen im Mittelpunkt. Die geometrischen Ans{\"a}tze der Arbeit beschr{\"a}nken sich auf planare Oberfl{\"a}chen.},

  abstract  = {Recently, many reseraches on active control systems of building structures are preformed based on modern control theory and are installed real buildings. The authors have already proposed intelligent fuzzy optimal active control (IFOAC) systems. IFOAC systems imitate intelligent activities of human brains such as prediction, adaptation, decision-kaking and so on. In IFOAC systems, objective and subjective judgements on the active control can be taken into account. However, IFOAC systems are considered to be suitable for far-field erathquake and control effect becomes small in case of near-field earthqaukes which include a few velosity pules with large amplitudes. To improve control effect in case of near-souece earthquakes, the authors have also proposed hybrid control (HC) systems, in which IFOAC systems and fuzzy control system are combined. In HC systems, the fuzzy control systems are introduced as a reflective fuzzy active control (RFAC) system and imitates spinal reflection of human. In HC systems, active control forces are activated to buildings in accordance with switching rules on active control forces. In this paper, optimizations on fuzzy control rules in RFAC system and switching rules of active control forces in HC system are performed by Parameter-Free Genetic Algorithms (PfGAs). Here, the optimization is performed by using different earthquake inputs. The results of digital simulations show that the HC system can reduce maximal response displacements under restrictions on strokes of the actuator effectively in case of a near-source earthquake and the effectiveness of the proposed HC system is discussed and clarified.},

  abstract  = {The truss model for predicting shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams has usually been criticized because of its underestimation of the concrete shear strength especially for beams with low shear reinforcement. Two challengers are commonly encountered in any truss model and are responsible for its inaccurate shear strength prediction. First: the cracking angle is usually assumed empirically and second the shear contribution of the arching action is usually neglected. This research introduces a nouvelle approach, by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for accurately evaluating the shear cracking angle of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams. The model inputs include the beam geometry, concrete strength, the shear reinforcement ratio and the prestressing stress if any. ...},

  abstract  = {Indentation experiments have been carried out over the past century to determine hardness of materials. Modern indentation machines have the capability to continuously monitor load and displacement to high precision and accuracy. In recent years, research interests have focussed on methods to extract material properties from indentation load-displacement curves. Analytical methods to interpret the indentation load-displacement curves are difficult to formulate due to material and geometric nonlinearities as well as complex contact interactions. In the present study, an artificial neural network model was constructed for interpretation of indentation load-displacement curves. Large strain-large deformation finite element analyses were first carried out to simulate indentation experiments. The data from finite element analyses were then used to train the artificial neural network model. The artificial neural network model was able to accurately determine the material properties when presented with load-displacement curves which were not used in the training process. The proposed artificial neural network model is robust and directly relates the characteristics of the indentation loaddisplacement curve to the elasto-plastic material properties.},

  abstract  = {Current building product models explicitly represent components, attributes of components, and relationships between components. These designer-focused product models, however, do not represent many of the design conditions that are important for construction, such as component similarity, uniformity, and penetrations. Current design and construction tools offer limited support for detecting these construction-specific design conditions. This paper describes the ontology we developed using the manufacturing concept of features to represent the design conditions that are important for construction. The feature ontology provides the blueprint for the additions and changes needed to transform a standard product model into a constructionspecific product model. The ontology formalizes three classes of features, defines the attributes and functions of each feature type, and represents the relationships between features explicitly. The descriptive semantics of the ontology allows practitioners to represent their varied preferences for naming features, specifying features that result from component intersections and the similarity of components, and grouping features that affect a specific construction domain. A software prototype that implements the ontology enables practitioners to transform designer-focused product models into feature-based product models that represent the construction perspective.},

  abstract  = {The rise of concurrent engineering in construction demands early team formation and constant communication throughout the project life cycle, but educational models in architecture, engineering and construction have been slow to adjust to this shift in project organization. Most students in these fields spend the majority of their college years working on individual projects that do not build teamwork or communication skills. Collaborative Design Processes (CDP) is a capstone design course where students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Florida learn methods of collaborative design enhanced by the use of information technology. Students work in multidisciplinary teams to collaborate from remote locations via the Internet on the design of a facility. An innovation of this course compared to previous efforts is that students also develop process designs for the integration of technology into the work of multidisciplinary design teams. The course thus combines both active and reflective learning about collaborative design and methods. The course is designed to provide students the experience, tools, and methods needed to improve design processes and better integrate the use of technology into AEC industry work practices. This paper describes the goals, outcomes and significance of this new, interdisciplinary course for distributed AEC education. Differences from existing efforts and lessons learned to promote collaborative practices are discussed. Principal conclusions are that the course presents effective pedagogy to promote collaborative design methods, but faces challenges in both technology and in traditional intra-disciplinary training of students.},
