  abstract  = {The present thesis studies the effects of rice husk ash (RHA) as a pozzolanic admixture and the combination of RHA and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) on properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The ultimate purpose of this study is to replace completely silica fume (SF) and partially Portland cement by RHA and GGBS to achieve sustainable UHPC. To reach this aim, characteristics of RHA in dependence of grinding period, especially its pozzolanic reactivity in saturated Ca(OH)2 solution and in a cementitious system at a very low water binder ration (w/b) were assessed. The influences of RHA on compatibility between superplasticizer and binder, workability, compressive strength, shrinkage, internal relative humidity, microstructure and durability of UHPC were also evaluated. Furthermore, synergic effects of RHA and GGBS on the properties of UHPC were investigated to produce more sustainable UHPC. Finally, various heat treatments were applied to study the properties of UHPC under these conditions. All the characteristics of these UHPCs containing RHA were compared to those of mixtures containing SF.},

  abstract  = {Der Film BERLIN - DIE SINFONIE DER GROSSTADT (1927, Walter Ruttman) gilt bis heute als der Sinfonische Dokumentarfilm schlechthin. Er pr{\"a}sentiert nicht nur die Traditionslinien, die ihre Wurzeln in der neuen Sachlichkeit und den ersten Dokumentarfilmtheorien fanden, sondern auch die k{\"u}nstlerische und filmische Vorstellung von Ruttmann. Um den h{\"o}chsten Grad an Objektivit{\"a}t in der Realit{\"a}tsdarstellung zu erreichen, hat dieser Film einerseits treu alle theoretischen und {\"a}sthetischen Gedanken der neusachlichen Kunst zum ersten Mal filmisch in einem DOKUMENTARFILM dargestellt. Noch dazu dr{\"u}ckt der Berlin-Film seinen kulturellen Beitrag mit ausschliesslich filmischen Mitteln aus, also mit rein visuellen Mitteln, oder anders gesagt mit FILMSPRACHE. Im Gegensatz zur ersten Ank{\"u}ndigung des Films und der Filmliteratur, die den Film als Dokumentarfilm ansehen, ist er in Wirklichkeit einer der ersten innovativen Musikfilme in seinem historischen Kontext, welcher mit der Montage von Wirklichkeitsabbilden autonome Musik zu interpretieren versucht. Seine sachlichen, dokumentarischen Reportage-Bilder ordnen sich der abstrakten Struktur und dem Taktmaß der Musik unter. Als Folge entsteht laut Ruttmann eine VISUELLE SINFONIE, die eigentlich vielmehr eine Vision von Berlin darstellte, als zuk{\"u}nftige industrielle Musterstadt. Mit anderen Worten ist Berlin in diesem Film eine realistische Illusion, aber keineswegs ein reales Bild. Er bildet ein neues Filmgenre, den KUNSTDOKUMENTARFILM, das den Grundprinzipien des Dokumentarfilms nicht folgt. Dies unterscheidet ihn aber auch von den K{\"U}NSTLERISCHEN DOKUMENTARFILMEN, die einerseits dem Film BERLIN - DIE SINFONIE DER GROSSTADT zwar formalstilistisch und {\"a}sthetisch {\"a}hneln. Aber im Gegensatz zu ihm erf{\"u}llen diese die elementaren Voraussetzungen f{\"u}r einen Dokumentarfilm. Beispiele daf{\"u}r sind: DER MANN MIT DER KAMERA (1929, Dsiga Vertov), KOYAANISQATSI (1982,Godfry Reggio) und das Remake BERLIN, SINFONIE EINER GROßSTADT (2002, Thomas Schadt). BERLIN - DIE SINFONIE DER GROSSTADT von Walter Ruttmann stellt nicht nur ein neues Filmgenre dar, er ist auch eine singul{\"a}re Erscheinung in der Filmgeschichte. In diesem Sinne spielte er, laut dem Filmkritiker Helmut Korte, eine entscheidende Rolle in der Weiterentwicklung des absoluten Films „als Musterbeispiel f{\"u}r die M{\"o}glichkeiten des k{\"u}nstlerisch-dokumentarischen Films" (Korte 1991: 76).},

  abstract  = {The aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate whether the German term "shrinking city" is appropriate to depopulating Polish cities. In order to do so an attempt to define the currently still vague notion of "shrinking city" was made. The urban development of Eastern Germany was thoroughly examined both in a short term perspective and in a wide historical as well as international context, with the Polish urban development used as reference. 25 cities (kreisfreie St{\"a}dte) in Eastern Germany and depopulating Polish cities: Ł{\´o}d{\'{z}} and the Metropolis Silesia were chosen as case studies. On the basis of the gathered information a "shrinking city" in Eastern Germany was defined as a city with a long-lasting population decrease coupled with over-dimensioned, growth-oriented development policies carried out for decades. Such a development path is triggering negative consequences in the spatial, economic and also demographic dimension, which tend to intensify each other. The thesis postulates that the definition of the "shrinking city in Eastern Germany" is not appropriate to depopulating cities in Poland. Polish cities are characterized by a short-lasting population decrease and this trend is not triggering negative spatial and economic consequences. Oversized growth development policies were never present in the cities and they still suffer from great deficiencies in housing and other basic infrastructure, which derive from the socialist period. Furthermore, radical de-economization, known from Eastern German cities, did not occur in the Polish cities. Both Ł{\´o}d{\'{z}} and the Metropolis Silesia remain main production centers of the country. This doctoral thesis presents a contradictory view to contemporary publications on "shrinking cities", in which this phenomenon is regarded as having occurred suddenly after the collapse of the socialism. It proved that "shrinking cities" in Eastern Germany are not the outcome of short-lasting processes, but are deeply rooted in the past. Moreover, they represent a very distinct development pattern that highly differentiates from the one found in Central Eastern Europe and the one in Western Europe. In this way the doctoral thesis provided a new, critical approach to the discourse on "shrinking cities" in Germany. It also draws attention to the importance of the historical analysis in cities' development research, particularly in cross border studies. In time of European integration peculiarities resulting from centuries of different spatial, economic and social development paths should not be underestimated.},

  abstract  = {Post Conflict Reconstruction is a very complex topic, whether it is to be undertaken by the Local or the International Community. The process of the Post Conflict Development is to be very hard to investigate, primarily for the combination of socio-cultural phenomena, war and political instability; having difficulties of conducting solid empirical analysis (obtaining reliable data) and dealing with war-torn communities. The multifaceted process of the reconstruction is ought to touch a lot of countries vital segments, whereas each of them requires different approach; coordination with one another; and unification in their common aim. The emergency of the assistance programs are not equal, same as with the priority and weight when compared with each other, therefore occasionally there are programs for the success of which the other less important actions are violated or neglected. The case is with the International Community presence ( the set up), which aside from their mission and projects, it is considered to play a very important role on the urban development of a post conflict city; the setting was never planned or considered in a holistic manner, therefore IC establishment was done ad hoc and it was guided by issues which did not help at its greatest to the urban development of the city and more over to the citizens who were most in need. The study is about the Urban Development, due to the fact that the biggest concentration of the International Community is likely to be in the urban centers, and the experienced changes are of a much considerable magnitude. The reconstruction phase is likely to be lasting at about 10 years and more , consequently the International Community for that time being tends to be recognized as temporary citizens of the city, and it is inevitably that they will be having an impact on the urban development of the city; in that basis it is considered to be significant that the International Community Establishment/Set Up be included into the International Organizations mission and assist in the overall mission of the reconstruction.},

  abstract  = {Environmental and operational variables and their impact on structural responses have been acknowledged as one of the most important challenges for the application of the ambient vibration-based damage identification in structures. The damage detection procedures may yield poor results, if the impacts of loading and environmental conditions of the structures are not considered. The reference-surface-based method, which is proposed in this thesis, is addressed to overcome this problem. In the proposed method, meta-models are used to take into account significant effects of the environmental and operational variables. The usage of the approximation models, allows the proposed method to simply handle multiple non-damaged variable effects simultaneously, which for other methods seems to be very complex. The input of the meta-model are the multiple non-damaged variables while the output is a damage indicator. The reference-surface-based method diminishes the effect of the non-damaged variables to the vibration based damage detection results. Hence, the structure condition that is assessed by using ambient vibration data at any time would be more reliable. Immediate reliable information regarding the structure condition is required to quickly respond to the event, by means to take necessary actions concerning the future use or further investigation of the structures, for instance shortly after extreme events such as earthquakes. The critical part of the proposed damage detection method is the learning phase, where the meta-models are trained by using input-output relation of observation data. Significant problems that may encounter during the learning phase are outlined and some remedies to overcome the problems are suggested. The proposed damage identification method is applied to numerical and experimental models. In addition to the natural frequencies, wavelet energy and stochastic subspace damage indicators are used.},

  abstract  = {In this research work, an energy approach is employed for assessing quality in dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) models, and energy measures are introduced and investigated as general indicators of structural response. Dynamic SSI models with various abstraction levels are then investigated according to different coupling scenarios for soil and structure models. The hypothesis of increasing model uncertainty with decreasing complexity is investigated and a mathematical framework is provided for the treatment of model uncertainty. This framework is applied to a case study involving alternative models for incorporating dynamic SSI effects. In the evaluation process, energy measures are used within the framework of the \textit{adjustment factor} approach in order to quantitatively assess the uncertainty associated with SSI models. Two primary types of uncertainty are considered, namely the uncertainty in the model framework and the uncertainty in the model input parameters. Investigations on model framework uncertainty show that the more complex three-dimensional FE model has the best quality of the models investigated, whereas the Wolf SSI model produces the lowest model uncertainty of the simpler models. The fixed-base model produces the highest estimated uncertainty and accordingly the worst quality of all models investigated. These results confirm the hypothesis of increasing model uncertainty with decreasing complexity only when the assessment is based on the ratio of structural hysteretic energy to input energy as a response indicator.},

Und warum l{\"a}sst sich diese Logik als postfordistische Stadtentwicklung bezeichnen? Was mit dieser Forschung erkl{\"a}rt werden soll, ist, wie die besondere Form der {\"U}berschneidung der Territorialit{\"a}ten - Faktoren und Strategien der Agenten - und die Synergien, die sich daraus ableiten, die Stadtentwicklung Weimars charakterisieren. Das allgemeine Ziel der Arbeit ist, das Typus der erreichten postfordistischen Stadtentwicklung, einer mittlere Stadt am Beispiel der Stadt Weimar zu interpretieren. Die spezifischen Ziele sind: die geohistorische Kontextualisierung der Stadtregion Weimar; die Analyse der Faktoren und Strategien, die die Stadtentwicklung erm{\"o}glichen, aber auch bedingen; die Konstellation der sozialen Agenten zu identifizieren, die im Governance-Prozess mitwirken, und die resultierenden urbanen Synergien zu erforschen. F{\"u}r diese Arbeit wurde eine qualitative Forschungsmethodologie angewendet, die auf Sekund{\"a}rliteraturrecherche, lokalen Ver{\"o}ffentlichungen (Regionalpresse und Brosch{\"u}ren), Feldbeobachtungen, Lebensraumanalyse und Interviews basiert. Diese Methodologie wurde quantitativ mit der Analyse von Statistiken erg{\"a}nzt. Ein wichtiger Beitrag dieser Arbeit ist die Definition der postfordistische Stadtentwicklung als eine Modalit{\"a}t der urbanen Reproduktion im Kontext der kapitalistischen Produktionsbeziehungen, die charakterisiert durch flexible Produktion, Tertiarisierung der {\"o}ffentlichen Dienstleistungen, Erschaffung neuer territorialen Regulierungsebenen, Flexibilisierung der urbanen Arbeitsm{\"a}rkte, und Pr{\"a}karisierung der Lebensbedingungen.

  abstract  = {A more careful consideration of food waste is needed for planning the urban environment. The research signals links between the organization of individuals, the built environment and food waste management through a study conducted in Mexico. It recognizes the different scales within which solid waste management operates, explores food waste production at household levels, and investigates the urban circumstances that influence its management. This is based on the idea that sustainable food waste management in cities requires a constellation of processes through which a 'people centered' approach offers added value to technical and biological facts. This distinction addresses how urban systems react to waste and what behavioral and structural factors affect current sanitary practices in Mexico. Food waste is a resource-demanding item, which makes for a considerable amount of refuse being disposed of in landfills in developing cities. The existing data shortage on waste generation at household levels debilitates implementation strategies and there is a need for more contextual knowledge associated with waste. The evidence-based study includes an explorative phase on the culture of waste management and a more in-depth examination of domestic waste composition. Mixed data collection tools including a household based survey, a food waste diary and weighing recording system were developed to enquire into the daily practices of waste disposal in households. The contrasting urban environment of Mexico City Metropolitan Area holds indistinctive boundaries between the core and the periphery, which hinder the implementation of integrated environmental plans. External determinants are different modes of urban transformation and internal determinants are building features and their consolidation processes. At the household level, less and more affluents groups responded differently to external environmental stressors. A targeted planning proposition is required for each group. Local alternative waste management is more likely to be implement in less affluent contexts. Further, more effective demand-driven service delivery implies better integration between the formal and informal sectors. The results show that efforts toward securing long-term changes in Mexico and other cities with similar circumstances require creating synergy between education, building consolidation, local infrastructure and social engagement.},
