TY - JOUR A1 - Artus, Mathias A1 - Alabassy, Mohamed Said Helmy A1 - Koch, Christian T1 - A BIM Based Framework for Damage Segmentation, Modeling, and Visualization Using IFC JF - Applied Sciences N2 - Paper-based data acquisition and manual transfer between incompatible software or data formats during inspections of bridges, as done currently, are time-consuming, error-prone, cumbersome, and lead to information loss. A fully digitized workflow using open data formats would reduce data loss, efforts, and the costs of future inspections. On the one hand, existing studies proposed methods to automatize data acquisition and visualization for inspections. These studies lack an open standard to make the gathered data available for other processes. On the other hand, several studies discuss data structures for exchanging damage information among different stakeholders. However, those studies do not cover the process of automatic data acquisition and transfer. This study focuses on a framework that incorporates automatic damage data acquisition, transfer, and a damage information model for data exchange. This enables inspectors to use damage data for subsequent analyses and simulations. The proposed framework shows the potentials for a comprehensive damage information model and related (semi-)automatic data acquisition and processing.

Communication and collaboration within an entire system requires reliable and efficient data exchange between the subsystems. Middleware developed within the web evolution during the past years provides reliable and efficient data exchange for web applications, which can be adopted for solving the data exchange problems in distributed engineering applications. This paper presents a generic approach for reliable and efficient data exchange between engineering devices using existing middleware known from web applications. Different existing middleware is examined with respect to the suitability in engineering applications. In this paper, a suitable middleware is shown and a prototype implementation simulating distributed wind farm control is presented and validated using several performance measurements.

Today, construction market demands increasing skill levels. Many jobs that were once considered to be undertaken by low or un-skilled labor, now demand some kind of formal skills. The jobs that require low skilled labor are continually decreasing due to technological advancement and globalization. Jobs that previously required little or no training now require skilful people to perform the tasks appropriately. The study aims at ameliorating employability of less skilled manpower by finding ways to instruct them for performing constructions tasks. A review of exiting task instruction methodologies in construction and the underlying gaps within them warrants an appropriate way to train and instruct low skilled workers for the tasks in construction. The idea is to ensure the required quality of construction with technological and didactic aids seeming particularly purposeful to prepare potential workers for the tasks in construction without exposing them to existing communication barriers. A BIM based technology is considered promising along with the integration of visual directives/animations to elaborate the construction tasks scheduled to be carried on site.

This work presents a study on numerical modelling of the behaviour of steel structural elements in case of fire with slender cross-sections. To accurately carry out these analyses it is necessary to take into account those local instability modes, which normally is only possible with shell finite elements. However, aiming at the development of more expeditious methods, particularly important for analysing complete structures in case of fire, recent studies have proposed the use of beam finite elements considering the presence of local buckling through the implementation of a new effective steel constitutive law. The objective of this work is to develop a study to validate this methodology using the program SAFIR. Comparisons are made between the results obtained applying the referred new methodology and finite element analyses using shell elements. The studies were made to laterally restrained beams, unrestrained beams, axially compressed columns and columns subjected to bending plus compression.

Consequently, the modelling of found damages based on those images in a streamlined automated manner becomes increasingly important, not just for saving time and money spent on updating the model to include the latest information gathered through each inspection, but also to easily visualise them, provide all stakeholders involved with a comprehensive digital representation containing all the necessary information to fully understand the structure’s current condition, keep track of any progressing deterioration, estimate the reduced load bearing capacity of the damaged element in the model or simulate the propagation of cracks to make well-informed decisions interactively and facilitate maintenance actions that optimally extend the service life of the structure. Though significant progress has been recently made in information modelling of damages, the current devised methods for the geometrical modelling approach are cumbersome and time consuming to implement in a full-scale model. For crack damages, an approach for a feasible automated image-based modelling is proposed utilising neural networks, classical computer vision and computational geometry techniques with the aim of creating valid shapes to be introduced into the information model, including related semantic properties and attributes from inspection data (e.g., width, depth, length, date, etc.). The creation of such models opens the door for further possible uses ranging from more accurate structural analysis possibilities to simulation of damage propagation in model elements, estimating deterioration rates and allows for better documentation, data sharing, and realistic visualisation of damages in a 3D model.

Due to the professional background of the authors, this benchmarking strategy is illustrated on a selection of search methods in regard to expected characteristics of geotechnical parameter back calculation problems. Starting from brief introduction into the approach employed, a strategy for optimization algorithm benchmarking is introduced. The benchmarking utilizes statistical tests carried out on well-known test functions superposed with perturbations, both chosen to mimic objective function topologies found for geotechnical objective function topologies. Here, the moved axis parallel hyper-ellipsoid test function and the generalized Ackley test function in conjunction with an adjustable quantity of objective function topology roughness and fraction of failing forward calculations is analyzed. In total, results for 5 optimization algorithms are presented, compared and discussed.

Individuelle Planung, Vergabe und Bauvorgänge stellen immer wieder aufs Neue eine große Herausforderung dar. Durch die sich teilweise sehr schnell ändernden Randbedingungen, müssen erarbeitete Abläufe häufig schnell geändert werden. Dies geschieht heutzutage meist auf Grundlage von Erfahrungen der am Bau Beteiligten. Auch bei bester Planung und Vorbereitung können Unwägbarkeiten den Bauprozess aufhalten. Das können ungeeigneter Baugrund, verschiedenste Hinderungen im Baufeld, schlechte Witterungsverhältnisse, Ausfälle von Maschinen, veränderte Zielsetzungen des Auftraggebers und vieles mehr sein. Dies führt zu Bauzeitverlängerungen und damit zu Kostensteigerungen. Um diesen Problemen besser begegnen zu können und diesen komplexen und fehler-anfälligen Prozess zu unterstützen, sind ein verbesserter Informationsfluss, genauere Boden-aufschlüsse und eine exaktere Dimensionierung des einzusetzenden Gerätes notwendig. Aus diesen Gründen ist der Einsatz von Building Information Modeling (BIM) sinnvoll. BIM bietet die Möglichkeit den Informationsfluss zu verbessern, die Datengenauigkeit zu erhöhen und Abläufe zu optimieren. Außerdem ermöglicht die Anwendung Planungsschritte miteinander zu verknüpfen, Kalkulationen zu vereinfachen und das Erstellen eines intelligenten Modells, das über den gesamten Lebenszyklus erweitert werden kann. Die Maßnahmen des Spezialtiefbaus zählen zu den kostenintensivsten auf einer Baustelle. Großes Gerät und spezialisierte Firmen sind für eine erfolgreiche Durchführung unerlässlich. Da der Baugrund immer einen großen Unsicherheitsfaktor bildet, müssen geeignete, unterstützende Anwendungen zum Einsatz kommen. Hierfür bildet BIM eine geeignete Plattform. Protokolle, Maschinendaten und Kontrolldaten können hier webbasiert analysiert und für alle zugänglich gemacht werden, um zum einen die Transparenz zu steigern und zum anderen den Überblick, selbst bei hochkomplexen Bauvorhaben zu behalten. In dieser Arbeit soll ein Überblick über die aktuelle Forschungssituation im Bereich Building Information Modeling im Erdbau, speziell im Spezialtiefbau, gegeben werden. Die Ergebnisse die mit Hilfe vorhandener Publikationen und Forschungsarbeiten verschiedener Universitäten und namhafter Forschungsgruppen zusammengetragen wurden sollen eine Grundlage für die weitere Forschung in diesem Bereich bilden. Über die Aufgabenstellung hinaus wird zusätzlich mit dem Softwareprogramm Revit 2014 ein Modell erstellt. Es wird versucht eine überschnittene Bohrpfahlwand zu modellieren und sie mit Parametern auszustatten. Zusammenfassend wird das Programm für den Einsatz bewertet.

Vor allem der Erdbau fordert durch seine hohe Dynamik und großen Unsicherheiten eine hohe Planungsleistung für jedes neue Projekt. Doch auch bei bester Planung und Vorbereitung kann der Bauprozess durch nicht vorhersehbare Einwirkungen aufgehalten werden. Dazu zählen Witterungseinflüsse, Baumaschinenausfälle, unvorhergesehene Bodenschichten und veränderte Zielsetzungen des Auftraggebers. Dies kann zu Störungen im Bauablauf führen, die eine Bauzeitverzögerung und eine Kostensteigerung nach sich ziehen. Um diese Probleme zu umgehen, sind ein verbesserter Informationsfluss, genaue Bodenaufschlüsse und eine exakte Dimensionierung des einzusetzenden Gerätes notwendig. Hier kann Building Information Modeling (BIM) zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Anwendung bietet die Möglichkeit, die Datengenauigkeit zu erhöhen, den Informationsfluss auf der Baustelle zu verbessern, eine Informationsplattform für alle Beteiligten zu schaffen und die Abläufe transparent zu gestalten. Außerdem ermöglicht die Anwendung Planungsschritte miteinander zu verknüpfen, Kalkulationen zu vereinfachen und das Erstellen eines intelligenten Modells, das über den gesamten Lebenszyklus erweitert werden kann. Die Grundlagen dieser Arbeit bilden die Begriffsdefinitionen zu Erdbau, Tiefbau und Building Information Modeling. Diese Arbeit setzt sich speziell mit Erdbauwerken und deren Sicherungsmaßnahmen auseinander. Darauf aufbauend wird im Rahmen einer Recherche der Forschungsstand im Bereich Building Information Modeling und Tiefbau zusammengefasst. Mit Hilfe einiger Forschungsbeiträge, -projekte, -verbände, Dissertationen und Anwendungsprogrammen wird ein Überblick geschaffen. Die Übersicht soll eine Grundlage für die weitere Forschung auf diesem Gebiet bilden. Abschließend findet eine Bewertung statt. Über die Aufgabenstellung hinaus wird zusätzlich mit dem Softwareprogramm Revit 2014 ein Modell erstellt, um aufzuzeigen, dass das Potential auf Erdbaustellen mit BIM-Anwendungen besser ausgeschöpft werden kann. Es wird versucht eine Gabionenwand, eine Sicherungsmaßnahme von Erdbauwerken zu modellieren und sie mit Parametern auszustatten. Zusammenfassend wird das Programm für den Einsatz im Tiefbau bewertet.

The efficiency and effectiveness of these model is majorly influenced by the cyclic constitutive parameters. Although a lot of research is being carried out on these relatively new models, little or no details exist in literature about the model based identification of the cyclic constitutive parameters. This could be attributed to the difficulties and complexities of the inverse modeling of such complex phenomena. A variety of optimization strategies are available for the solution of the sum of least-squares problems as usually done in the field of model calibration. However for the back analysis (calibration) of the soil response to oscillatory load functions, this paper gives insight into the model calibration challenges and also puts forward a method for the inverse modeling of cyclic loaded foundation response such that high quality solutions are obtained with minimum computational effort. Therefore model responses are produced which adequately describes what would otherwise be experienced in the laboratory or field.
