The focus of such research has been to develop solution algorithms and investigate responses or behaviors of interest. However, proving the quality and reliability of the model output in structural engineering has become a topic of increasing importance. Therefore, this study is an attempt to extend concepts of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to assess the dynamic response of a coupled model in bridge engineering considering time-dependent vehicular loading. A setting for the sensitivity analysis is proposed, which enables performing the sensitivity analysis considering random stochastic processes. The classical and proposed sensitivity settings are used to identify the relevant input parameters and models that have the most influence on the variance of the dynamic response. The sensitivity analysis exercises the model itself and extracts results without the need for measurements or reference solutions; however, it does not offer a means of ranking the coupled models studied. Therefore, concepts of total uncertainty are employed to rank the coupled models studied according to their fitness in describing the dynamic problem. The proposed procedures are applied in two examples to assess the output of coupled subsystems and coupled partial models in bridge engineering considering the passage of a heavy vehicle at various speeds.}, 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. In order to interpret these geometrical, topological and semantical data of a building model we identify a structural component graph, a graph of room faces, a room graph and a relational object graph as aids and we explain algorithms to derive these relations. The application of the technique presented is demonstrated by the analysis and discretization of a sample model in the scope of building energy simulation.}, subject = {Produktmodell}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Olivier2004, author = {Olivier, A.

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} } @inproceedings{RueppelMeissnerGreb2004, author = {Rueppel, Uwe and Meißner, Udo F. and Greb, Steffen}, title = {A Petri Net based Method for Distributed Process Modelling in Structural Engineering}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.133}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1338}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The contribution introduces a method for the distributed process modelling in order to support the process orientation in Structural Engineering, i.e., the modelling, analysis and management of planning processes. 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.
