A1 - Bilek, Jochen T1 - Support of Collaborative Structural Design Processes through the Integration of Peer-to-Peer and Multiagent Architectures N2 - Structural engineering projects are increasingly organized in networked cooperations due to a permanently enlarged competition pressure and a high degree of complexity while performing the concurrent design activities. Software that intends to support such collaborative structural design processes implicates enormous requirements. In the course of our common research work, we analyzed the pros and cons of the application of both the peer-to-peer (University of Bonn) and multiagent architecture style (University of Bochum) within the field of collaborative structural design. In this paper, we join the benefits of both architecture styles in an integrated conceptual approach. We demonstrate the surplus value of the integrated multiagent–peer-to-peer approach by means of an example scenario in which several structural engineers are co-operatively designing the basic structural elements of an arched bridge, applying heterogeneous CAD systems.

In these areas, so-called 'paraseismic tremors', are very frequent phenomena. In the situation when a building examination is realized in order to define its safety, it is necessary to make a complete analysis, in which an influence of tremors should be included. To decide if a building is able to carry out any dynamic loads or not, it is necessary to compute its dynamic characteristics, i.e. natural frequencies. It is not possible using any standard techniques. After diagnosis a building in situ by an expert, computer techniques together with specialized software for dynamic, static, and strength analyses become a suitable tool. In this paper a special attention was paid to a typical twelve-store WGP (Wroclaw Great Plate) prefabricated building, concerning special type of joints. During dynamic actions these joints have a decisive influence on building's behavior. Paraseismic tremors are especially dangerous for these buildings and can be the reason of pre-failure states. It can be difficult and very expensive to prepare laboratory investigations of the part of a building or of a separate joint; therefore the computer modeling suitable to investigate behavior of such elements and whole buildings under different kinds of loads was used.

T1 - FEM-Detailuntersuchungen an Tragwerken unter Einsatz von pNh-Übergangselementen N2 - Detailuntersuchungen an Tragwerken führen bei FE-Berechnungen immer wieder auf das Problem einer geeigneten Netzgestaltung. Während in weiten Bereichen ein grobes Netz ausreicht, muß an kritischen Stellen ein sehr feines Netz gewählt werden, um gerade dort hinreichend genaue Ergebnisse zu erhalten. Bei der Realisierung lokaler Netzverdichtungen stellt die Gestaltung des Übergangs vom groben zum feinen Netz das Hauptproblem dar. Im Beitrag wird hierzu eine Familie von FE-Übergangselementen vorgestellt, mit denen sich eine voll-kompatible Kopplung von wenigen großen Elementen mit vielen kleinen Elementen bereits über nur eine Stufe erzielen läßt. Diese neu entwickelten sogenannten pNh-Elemente ermöglichen an einer oder mehreren Seiten den Anschluß von N kleineren Elementen (Elementseiten für h-Verfeinerung). Das wird durch N stückweise definierte Ansatzfunktionen an den entsprechenden Seiten erreicht, wobei die Teilung nicht äquidistant sein braucht. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, Elemente unterschiedlichen Polynomgrades p an den Standardseiten und den Verfeinerungsseiten anzuschließen. Der praktische Einsatz der Übergangselemente setzt geeignete automatische oder halbautomatische Netzgeneratoren voraus, die diese Elemente einbeziehen. Im Rahmen einer substrukturorientierten Modellierung läßt sich dies besonders günstig realisieren. Im Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie durch Zerlegung des Gesamtmodells in Bereiche mit grobem Netz, mit Übergangsnetz und mit feinem Netz, eine effektive Generierung der Netzverdichtungen zu erreichen ist. An einem praktischen Beispiel aus dem Bauingenieurwesen werden die Vorteile des vorgestellten Übergangselementkonzeptes umfassend demonstriert.

We specifically describe the requirements on product and process models and an approach for representing and reasoning about construction specifications to enable automated detection and assessment of construction deviations and defects. This research builds on the previous research on modeling design specifications and extends and elaborates concept of contexts developed in that domain. The paper provides an overview of how the construction specifications are being modele d in this research and points out future steps that need to be accomplished to develop the envisioned automated deviation and defect detection system.

It is evident that introducing high-level CAD design and detailing will improve the planning process in developing countries. Successful utilization of applied information technology for the planning process, however, depends on the user-interface of individual software. Therefore, to open the great opportunity embedded in CAD software for clients globally, the language and character-set barrier of traditional user-interfaces must be overcome. A proposal for a research program is given here to address such issue in favour of global civil engineering.

T1 - Ein modellbasiertes Konzept zur städteplanerischen Kartierung durch digitale Bildanalyse N2 - There is an increasing need for 3D building extraction from aerial images for various applications such astown planning, environmental- and property-related studies. Aerial images usually reveal on one hand a certain amount of information not relevant for the given task of building extraction like vegetation, cars etc. On the other hand there is a loss of relevant information due to occlusions, low contrasts or disadvantageous perspectives. Therefore a promising concept for automated building reconstruction must incorporate a suffciantly complete model of the objects of interest. We propose a model-based approach to 3D building extraction from aerial images which reveals a tight coupling between a generic 3D object model and an explicit 2D image model. The generic object model employes domain specific volumetric primitives (i. e. building part models) and combination schemes. To cover the gap between 3D object models and 2D image data the image model is employed to predict the projective building appearences in aerial images.

The model originates in a compressible description of the air in the tunnel. It takes into account the strong buoyancy forces and at the same time the small Mach-number of the airflow. We comment on the derivation, on analytical results and on numerical simulations of the model. The model has been validated using data from real tunnel fire experiments. It shows good agreement with the real situation.

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used in order to accomplish numerical analysis. Considering the development of computer performance, more detailed FEM models can be analyzed, even on site, with mobile computers. To compensate the increasing amount of data needed for the model input, measures need to be taken to save time, by distributing the work. In order to provide consistency to the model, fedback data must be checked upon reception. A local wireless computer network of ultra-portable devices linked together with a computer can provide the coordination necessary for efficient parallel working. Based on a digital model consisting of all data gathered, structural modelling and numerical analysis are performed automatically. Thus, the user is released from the work that can be automatized and the time needed for the overall analysis of a structure is decreased.
