While the modeling of urban objects is time consuming and storage costing. This paper presents solutions for this. Buildings with regular shapes and plane roofs are constructed into computer models by identifying of graphic elements from the digital maps of urban area to get building base plane and building heights. Buildings with irregular shapes and non-plane roofs are constructed into computer models by employment of a specific system developed by the authors. Road objects and topologies are constructed into computer models by employment of specific algorithms. The solutions presented in this paper has been used in the development of urban disaster mitigation system for Shantou, China.

Seither werden immer wieder Bauschäden beschrieben, deren Ursache in der Reaktion von Zuschlägen, die „reaktive“ Kieselsäure enthalten, mit der Porenlösung des Betons zu sehen ist. Diese Reaktion wird als Alkali-Kieselsäure Reaktion (AKR) bezeichnet. Seit der ersten Veröffentlichung von Stanton über die „alkali-aggregate reaction“ an opalhaltigen Zuschlägen sind hunderte von Forschungsarbeiten zu diesem Thema durchgeführt und deren Ergebnisse veröffentlicht worden. Trotz eingehender Forschung seit mehr als 8o Jahren ist weder der Mechanismus der AKR vollständig geklärt noch eine eindeutige Voraussage über die Gefährdung von Bauwerken oder Bauteilen mit potentiell AKR-empfindlichen Zuschlägen möglich. Das liegt vor allen Dingen daran, das es sich bei der AKR um eine Reaktion handelt, die aus einer komplexen Abfolge chemischer und physikalischer Prozesse besteht, die in ihrer Gesamtheit zu einer Schädigung von Beton bzw. Betonbauteilen und Bauwerken führen können. Eine geschlossene Beschreibung und Behandlung dieser Reaktion ist nicht möglich, solange keine befriedigende Kenntnis über den Ablauf der einzelnen Schritte vorliegt. Dazu bedarf es grundsätzlicher Untersuchungen der einzelnen chemischen und physikalischen Reaktionsschritte sowie einer möglichst quantitativen Bewertung der verschiedenen Einflussfaktoren. Grundsätzlich gibt es weltweit eine ganze Reihe von Richtlinien und Normen , die dazu verhelfen sollen, Schädigungen an Bauwerken durch AKR zu verhindern. In Deutschland ist das momentan gültige Regelwerk die sogenannte Alkali-Richtlinie des deutschen Ausschusses für Stahlbeton (DAfStb). Sie dient zur Beurteilung von Zuschlag nach DIN 4226 [6, 7, 8] mit alkaliempfindlichen Bestandteilen. Dabei bezieht sich der Teil 2 der Richtlinie auf Zuschläge mit Opalsandstein, Kieselkreide und Flint aus bestimmten Gewinnungsgebieten. Hier wird eine reine Zuschlagprüfung gefordert. Teil 3 der Richtlinie bezieht sich auf präkambrische Grauwacken und andere alkaliempfindliche Gesteine. Gefordert werden hier Prüfungen der Zuschläge selbst sowie Prüfung an Betonbalken und 30er Würfeln in der Nebelkammer. Für die meisten in der Richtlinie genannten Zuschläge bilden die Prüfungen und Vorschriften eine ausreichende Sicherheit, um eine AKR zu vermeiden. Dennoch treten immer wieder Schäden mit Zuschlägen auf, die nach der Alkali-Richtlinie als unempfindlich eingestuft werden müssten. Dabei handelt es sich in der Regel um Schadensfälle, die erst nach mehreren Jahren mit spät reagierenden AKR-empfindlichen Zuschlägen auftreten. Zu diesen Zuschlägen, die gegebenenfalls speziell im Nebelkammertest innerhalb von neun Monaten keine signifikante Dehnung (<0,6mm/m) aufweisen, gehören Stressquarze, Kieselkalk, Granit, Porphyr, Kieselschiefer und Grauwacke. Die vorliegende Arbeit dient speziell der Beurteilung und Einordnung von unterschiedlichen kristallinen Quarzmodifikationen sowie der Ermittlung geeigneter Untersuchungsmethoden für die Beurteilung der AKR-Empfindlichkeit von Quarz. N2 - A lot of concrete deterioration due to ASR during the last years show, that it was not possible to estimate truly the al-kali-reactivity of aggregate. Also a true forecast, if a special concrete mixture or a building is insensible to ASR is not possible. The reason is, that there are damages especially with slow-late aggregates (greywacke, quartzite, rhyolite, stressed quartz…), although they were estimated as innocuous using the valid test methods. For getting more and true information about the ASR sensitivity of slow-late aggregates, interrelations between micro-structural properties and solubility were investigated. In special cases where is a good correlation between microstructure and solubility. But there are a lot of other influences. So only for a part of the investigated aggregates it is possible to get a good correla-tion. Thin section investigations, using light microscopy show, that the microstructure allows a prognosis how and where cracking will occur.

Modern indentation machines have the capability to continuously monitor load and displacement to high precision and accuracy. In recent years, research interests have focussed on methods to extract material properties from indentation load-displacement curves. Analytical methods to interpret the indentation load-displacement curves are difficult to formulate due to material and geometric nonlinearities as well as complex contact interactions. In the present study, an artificial neural network model was constructed for interpretation of indentation load-displacement curves. Large strain-large deformation finite element analyses were first carried out to simulate indentation experiments. The data from finite element analyses were then used to train the artificial neural network model. The artificial neural network model was able to accurately determine the material properties when presented with load-displacement curves which were not used in the training process. The proposed artificial neural network model is robust and directly relates the characteristics of the indentation loaddisplacement curve to the elasto-plastic material properties.

This helps with reasoning and communicates ideas to other members of the team. Sketches are gradually worked up into more formal drawings which are then passed to the other stages of the design process. There are however some problems with basing early ideas on sketching. For example, due to their ad-hoc nature, sketches tend only to be diagrammatic representations and so designers cannot be sure that their ideas are feasible and what is being proposed meets the constraints described in the client brief. This can result in designers wasting time working up ideas which prove to be unsuitable. Also the process of constraint checking is complex and time consuming and so designers tend limit their search of possible options and instead choose satisfying rather than good solutions. This paper describes the INTEGRA project which examines the role of sketching in early conceptual design and how this can be linked to other aspects of the process and particularly automated constraint checking using an IT based approach. The focus for the work is the design of framed buildings. A multi-disciplinary approach has been adopted and the work has been undertaken in close collaboration with practising designers and clients.

Particularly, the welded connection plates between the suspenders and the arches often exhibit cracks induced primarily rods. In this context, the synchronization of the vortex-shedding to the rod motion in a critical wind velocity range, the so-called lock-in effect, is of essential interest.

In this e-learning scenario, the construction and use of environments that support teaching and learning is a reality. Therefore, for time and general resource savings it is crucial the access to hypermedia contents with great interactivity and with high reusability. Substantial efforts have been centered in the search for a metadata proposal (metadata is a generic term used to describe data that can be used to identify and to describe common characteristics among different documents) that can be standardized and is system independent for the so called learning objects.

Im Gegensatz zu Biegeträgern haben diese Effekte auch Einfluss auf den Grenzzustand der Tragfähigkeit und sind unmittelbar Gegenstand von Sicherheitsaspekten. Der Eurocode 5 beachtet dies überhaupt nicht, während in DIN 1052 (2004:08) Hinweise zur Bemessung gegeben sind. Da der Baustoff Holz infolge seines Wuchscharakters stark streuende Materialparameter aufweist, ist es kaum möglich, Experimente in ausreichendem Umfang durchzuführen. Gegen eine solche experimentelle Untersuchung sprechen auch die zu erwartenden hohen Kosten sowie die langandauernden Versuche unter Klimabeanspruchung. Aus diesem Grund wird auf virtuelle Versuche mit Hilfe des Computerprogramms ISOBEAM zurückgegriffen. Dazu sind allerdings abgesicherte Materialmodelle wichtig, die hier an Experimenten mit Klein- und Kleinstproben sowie mit Versuchkörpern baupraktisch relevanter Abmessungen angepasst wurden. Mit diesem verifizierten Modell war es möglich, gezielt Parameterstudien durchzuführen. Der Einfluss der Einbauholzfeuchte auf das hygrothermische Langzeittragverhalten wurde genauso untersucht wie der der Nutzungsklasse und der Querschnittsabmessungen. Die Ergebnisse der virtuellen Versuche dienten zum einen der Überprüfung der Vorgehensweise nach DIN 1052 (2004:08) und zum anderen zur Anpassung neuer Vorschläge zur Bemessung. Es wurde Wert darauf gelegt, dass sich die Vorschläge neuer Bemessungskonzepte an die bestehenden normativen Bemessungsregeln anlehnen. Zum einen wurde das Bemessungsverfahren nach Theorie II. Ordnung um eine weitere Ausmitte zur Berücksichtigung des Kriechens ergänzt, zum anderen wurde beim Ersatzstabverfahren der Beiwert entsprechend modifiziert. Alternativ ist es möglich, den Modifikationsbeiwert neu an die virtuellen Versuchsergebnisse anzupassen. Die Einbauholzfeuchte wurde ebenfalls über einen zusätzlichen Modifikationsfaktor berücksichtigt. N2 - The long-term load-bearing performance of wooden columns is decisively influenced by the amount of permanent acting load and the surrounding climate. Unlike flexural beams these effects influence the ultimate limit state and they are direct subject of safety aspects. While DIN 1052 (2004:08) provides some hints for design, Eurocode 5 does not take this fact into account. As wood as building material shows highly varying material parameters resulting from growth characteristics it is almost impossible to make a sufficient number of experiments. Furthermore, high costs and long-term experiments regarding action of climate speak against such experimental investigations. Therefore, virtual experiments were made using the computer program ISOBEAM. Tried and proven material models are important for this purpose. They were adapted to experiments with small and smallest specimens and to those of dimensions of practical use. This verified model makes it possible to perform selective parameter studies. The influence of initial moisture content in wood on the long-term load-bearing capacity was investigated as well as the influence of service classes and cross-section dimensions. The results of these virtual experiments were used to evaluate the procedure of German Code DIN 1052 (2004:08) on the one hand and to adapt new proposals for design on the other. Importance was placed on the proposals of new design concepts according to existing design rules of code. On the one side the design rule according to 2nd order theory was supplemented by another eccentricity take into account creep effects. On the other side the coefficient of model column method was modified. Alternatively it is possible to adapt the modification coefficient to the results of virtual experiments. The initial moisture content in wood was also taken into consideration by an additional modifying factor.

Knowledge management systems are strategically valuable for both ensuring consistency and continuous improvement of various aspects such as quality delivery, productivity and competitiveness. The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry are mostly operating under tighter timeframes, narrower profit margins and more constrained resources. Hence the recently commenced SMILE-SMC (Strategic Management with Information Leveraged Excellece for Small and Medium Contractors) project aims to support the information and knowledge management needs of the small and medium contractors in Hong Kong. This paper presents some snapshots on the SMILE-SMC project, and its conceptualized deliverables with some highlights of recent developments.

For design firms to stay in business in this very competitive market, they need to manage their resources in a way that improves productivity and cost effectiveness. This task, however, is not simple and requires thorough analysis of process-level operations, resource use, and productivity. Typically, these operational aspects are the responsibility of the design office manager who assigns available resources to the different design projects to save time and lower design expenses. It is noted that limited studies have been carried out in the literature to model overall organizational operations and behavioral aspects, particularly in firms specialized in the design of building projects. In an effort to simplify the modeling process, a simplified modeling and simulation tool is used in this research. A simulation model representing an actual design office was developed assuming that the office performs designs for small, medium, and large size building projects. The developed model was used to simulate several alternatives and examine various resource assignment strategies. The simulation was conducted over ten years and the resulting productivity and income was measured.

These demands require efficient improvements of the value-added chain, which can be realized mainly with the usage of innovative information- and communication-technologies. To support the collaboration of all participants involved in a certain building project the Workflow-Management-System “BauKom-Online” has been developed. In the focus of the system is to support the coordination of the participants and their information exchange. Such a software-method is well suited to ensure a high quality planning process. The modelling of business-processes enables a better self-comprehension of the participants work and helps to enhance the project performance. The system architecture of BauKom-Online contains two basic components: the processmodelling tool and the workflow-engine. The process-model contains of activities and states of the planning and construction processes and their relations. These connected processes compose the workflow. Such a process-model for engineering purposes has to satisfy several needs, e.g., the consideration of planning and building alternatives, dynamic changes of the model during execution of the project and the linkage to further technical objects like costs, building structure, specifications and documentmanagement. Furthermore, the scheduling of the project can be done within the process-model and can be visualized as a Gantt-diagram. ...
