In addition, the initial cable forces depending on the alternation of the bridge's shape can be obtained from the analysis, and will be used to provide construction safety during construction. In this research, we conducted numerical experiments for initial shape of Ko-ha bridge, which will be constructed in the near future, using three different typical methods such as continuous beam method, linear truss method, and IIMF (Introducing Initial Member Force) method}, subject = {Finite-Elemente-Methode}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{O'BrienDansoAmoakoIssa2004, author = {O'Brien, William and Danso-Amoako, Mark and Issa, Raja}, title = {A Case Study of IFC and CIS/2 Support for Steel Supply Chain Processes}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.119}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1195}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The evolution of data exchange and integration standards within the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry is gradually making the long-held vision of computer-integratedconstruction a reality.

The main advantages are the arrangement of the tasks of a project in a clear, easily readable form and the calculation of valuable information like critical paths. The main disadvantage on the other hand is the inflexibility of the model caused by the modeling paradigms. Small changes of the modeled information strongly influence the whole model and lead to the need to change many more details in the plan. In this article an approach is introduced allowing the creation of more flexible schedules. It aims towards a more robust model that lowers the need to change more than a few information while being able to calculate the important propositions of the known models and leading to further valuable conclusions.}, subject = {Baubetrieb}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchapkeScherer2004, author = {Schapke, Sven-Eric and Scherer, Raimar J.}, title = {A Four Layer Bayesian Network for Product Model Based Information Mining}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.120}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1207}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Business and engineering knowledge in AEC/FM is captured mainly implicitly in project and corporate document repositories. Even with the increasing integration of model-based systems with project information spaces, a large percentage of the information exchange will further on rely on isolated and rather poorly structured text documents. In this paper we propose an approach enabling the use of product model data as a primary source of engineering knowledge to support information externalisation from relevant construction documents, to provide for domain-specific information retrieval, and to help in re-organising and re-contextualising documents in accordance to the user's discipline-specific tasks and information needs. Suggested is a retrieval and mining framework combining methods for analysing text documents, filtering product models and reasoning on Bayesian networks to explicitly represent the content of text repositories in personalisable semantic content networks. We describe the proposed basic network that can be realised on short-term using minimal product model information as well as various extensions towards a full-fledged added value integration of document-based and model-based information.}, subject = {Bauwerk}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BedardMoraRivard2004, author = {B{\´e}dard, Claude and Mora, Rodrigo and Rivard, Hugues}, title = {A Framework for Computer-Aided Conceptual Design of Building Structures}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.101}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1018}, year = {2004}, abstract = {This paper describes a framework for computer-aided conceptual design of building structures that results from building architectural considerations.

Given the nature of architectural constraints, user-model interactivity is devised as the most suitable computer methodology for driving the structural synthesis process. Taking advantage of the hierarchical organization of the structural system, this research proposes a top-down approach for structural synthesis. Through hierarchical refinement, the approach lends itself to the synthesis of global and local structural solutions. The components required for implementing the proposed methodology are briefly described.

The model incorporates a multiobjective genetic algorithm and scheduling algorithm. The model initially generates a randomly selected set of solutions that evolves to a near optimal set of tradeoff solutions in subsequent generations. Each solution represents a unique scheduling solution that is associated with certain project duration and a number of interruption days for utilized construction crews. As such, the model provides project planners with alternative schedules along with their expected duration and resource utilization efficiency.}, subject = {Mehragentensystem}, language = {en} }
