Noch nie zuvor war in Deutschland eine Bogenbr{\"u}cke auf diese Art und Weise abgebrochen worden. Maßgeblich f{\"u}r das Gelingen des schwierigen R{\"u}ckbaus der Teufelstalbr{\"u}cke war das Verantwortungsbewusstsein der Beteiligten im Zusammenhang mit der notwendigen Risikobereitschaft, aber auch mit der Vermeidung unn{\"o}tiger Restrisiken schon von vornherein. Zur Risikominimierung trugen die gute Organisation des Vorhabens, regelm{\"a}ßige gemeinsame Baustellenbegehungen mit Vertretern der f{\"u}r Sicherheit zust{\"a}ndigen Institutionen (Amt f{\"u}r Arbeitsschutz Gera, Bau-Berufsgenossenschaft, Sicher-heits- und Gesundheitsschutzkoordinator) sowie die technische Ausstattung bei.

A careful aesthetic study must be made at an early stage in the design and the visualization of a three-dimensional (3D) model of the structure is the best way to analyse it. As some structures presents a complex shape is difficult to execute a 3D model as well as the specific drawings. Using traditional graphical systems, the execution of deck specific drawings is extremely time consuming and the 3D deck model gives an approximation only of the exterior shape of the deck. The modelling scheme proposed here allows the automation of the geometric design phases related to the deck bridge element using as a means of integration a geometric database representative of the real deck shape. This concept was implemented in a computer program. This application is an important support in the process design namely at the conceptual and graphical stages. The computer application provides an important tool to the bridge designer particularly at the conceptual stage, as it allows aesthetic and structural evaluation of the bridge at an early stage in the design. The geometric modelling process and graphical results of a case study are presented.}, subject = {Br{\"u}ckenbau}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MelhemCheng2004, author = {Melhem, Hani and Cheng, Yousheng}, title = {Numeric Prediction Algorithms for Bridge Corrosion}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.198}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1982}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The research reported in this article was conducted to mainly explore the two common numeric prediction techniques, the model tree and the regression tree, when used in conjunction with bagging as a wrapper method. Bagging is used to improve the prediction accuracy of these two algorithms, and results are compared with the ones obtained earlier by the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. From the conducted experiments, both the bagged regression tree and bagged model tree produce better results than not only their corresponding regression tree and model tree alone, but also the KNN with optimal value of k equal to 7. In addition, the bagged model tree yields the lowest prediction errors and a highest correlation coefficient of 0.81. It is demonstrated that it is feasible to use the bagged model tree for engineering applications in prediction problems such as estimating the remaining service life of bridge decks.}, subject = {Hochschulbildung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JianMingKe2004, author = {Jian Ming, Lu and Ke, Chen}, title = {Information technology used in highway and bridge engineering}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.111}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1114}, year = {2004}, abstract = {With the speedy development of transportation of China, especially construction of many high-grade highways, some information technology successes have been achieved in the highway and bridge engineering, such as survey, design, construction and maintenance etc. In this paper, some applications about information technology in the highway engineering were introduced and some bridge professional software developed by RIOH (Research Institute Of Highways) in recent years was also introduced.}, subject = {Mobile Computing}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Hoernig2000, author = {H{\"o}rnig, Wolfgang}, title = {Moderne Fertigungsmethoden im Br{\"u}ckenbau am Beispiel der Bogenherstellung {\"u}ber die Wilde Gera}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.699}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-6994}, year = {2000}, abstract = {Es werden die Erfahrungen der Adam H{\"o}rnig Baugesellschaft bei der Bogenherstellung im Freivorbau einer Autobahnbr{\"u}cke beschrieben.}, subject = {Baustelle}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{CheungNoruziaanLi2004, author = {Cheung, Moe M.

Confederation Bridge, the longest bridge built over ice covered seawater has been equipped with the state of the art data acquistition devices and systems as well as data transfer networks. The Bridge has been providing a fixed surface connection between Prince Edward Island and Province of New Brunswick in Canada since its opening in 1997. The Bridge has a rather long design service life of 100 years. Because of its large size and long span length, its design is not covered by any existing codes or standards worldwide. The focus of the paper is to introduce the data acquisition, transfer, processing and management systems. The instrumentation and communications infrastructure and devices will be presented in some details along with the data processing and management systems and techniques. Teams of engineers and researchers use the collected data to verify the analysis and design assumptions and parameters as well as investigate the short-term and long-term behaviour and health of the Bridge. The collected data are also used in furthering research activities in the field of bridge engineering and in elevating our knowledge about behaviour, reliability and durability of such complex structures, their components and materials.}, subject = {Bauwerk}, language = {en} }
