Therefore, a 3D micromodel was developed and calibrated thereafter, to gain more insight in the topic. The micromodels were calibrated against their equivalent physical test specimens of in-plane, out-of-plane drift driven tests on frames with and without infill walls and openings, as well as out-of-plane bend test of masonry walls. Micromodels were rectified based on their behavior and damage states. As a result of the calibration process, it was found that micromodels were sensitive and insensitive to various parameters, regarding the model's behavior and computational stability. It was found that, even within the same material model, some parameters had more effects when attributed to concrete rather than on masonry. Generally, the in-plane behavior of infilled frames was found to be largely governed by the interface material model. The out-of-plane masonry wall simulations were governed by the tensile strength of both the interface and masonry material model. Yet, the out-of-plane drift driven test was governed by the concrete material properties.}, subject = {Verwundbarkeit}, language = {en} } @article{StaubachMachacekSkowroneketal.2020, author = {Staubach, Patrick and Machacek, Jan and Skowronek, Josefine and Wichtmann, Torsten}, title = {Vibratory pile driving in water-saturated sand: Back-analysis of model tests using a hydro-mechanically coupled CEL method}, series = {Soils and Foundations}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Soils and Foundations}, number = {Volume 61, Issue 1}, publisher = {Elsevier, Science Direct}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {10.1016/j.sandf.2020.11.005}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210203-43571}, pages = {144 -- 159}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The development of a hydro-mechanically coupled Coupled-Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method and its application to the back-analysisof vibratory pile driving model tests in water-saturated sand is presented. The predicted pile penetration using this approachis in good agreement with the results of the model tests as well as with fully Lagrangian simulations. In terms of pore water pressure, however, the results of the CEL simulation show a slightly worse accordance with the model tests compared to the Lagrangian simulation. Some shortcomings of the hydro-mechanically coupled CEL method in case of frictional contact problems and pore fluids with high bulk modulus are discussed. Lastly, the CEL method is applied to the simulation of vibratory driving of open-profile piles under partially drained conditions to study installation-induced changes in the soil state. It is concluded that the proposed method is capable of realistically reproducing the most important mechanisms in the soil during the driving process despite its addressed shortcomings.}, subject = {Plastische Deformation}, language = {en} }
