This paper reports on progress of a project, which aims to achieve better integrated building and systems control modeling in building performance simulation by run-time coupling of distributed computer programs. These requirements motivate the use of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), which offers sufficient advantage than communication within simple abstraction. However, set up highly available applications with CORBA is hard. Neither control modeling software nor building performance environments have simple interface with CORBA objects. Therefore, this paper describes an architectural solution to distributed control and building performance software tools with CORBA objects. Then, it explains how much the developement of CORBA based distributed building control simulation applications is difficult. The paper finishes by giving some recommendations.

This material summarizes the results of the project work done throughout the semester, provides an overview of the topic, as well as impressions from the accompanying programme. Wind Engineering is a particular field of Civil Engineering that evaluates the resistance of structures caused by wind loads. Bridges, high-rise buildings, chimneys and telecommunication towers might be susceptible to wind vibrations due to their increased flexibility, therefore a special design is carried for this aspect. Advancement in technology and scientific studies permit us doing research at small scale for more accurate analyses. Therefore scaled models of real structures are built and tested for various construction scenarios. These models are placed in wind tunnels where experiments are conducted to determine parameters such as: critical wind speeds for bridge decks, static wind coefficients and forces for buildings or bridges. The objective of the course was to offer insight to the students into the assessment of long-span cable-supported bridges and high-rise buildings under wind excitation. The participating students worked in interdisciplinary teams to increase their knowledge in the understanding and influences on the behaviour of wind-sensitive structures.

Collaboration amongst team members seperated in time and location is of particular importance. Two broad themes can be recognized in research pertaining to distributed collaboration. One theme focusses on the technical and technological aspects of distributed work, while the other emphasises human aspects thereof. The case of finite element structural analysis in a distributed collaboratory is examined in this paper. An approach is taken which has its roots in human aspects of the structural analysis task. Based on experience of how structural engineers currently approach and execute this task while utilising standard software designed for use on local workstations only, criteria are stated for a software architechture that could support collaborative structural analysis. Aspects of a pilot application and the results of qualitative performance measurements are discussed.

Der Ausbau der Inter-City-Express-Strecke zwischen Hannover und Berlin bedingte eine Umplanung großer Streckenabschnitte der Deutschen Bahn AG. Im Zeitalter der computergestützten Informationsverarbeitung sind gerade auf dem Gebiet der Tragwerksplanung konstruktiver Ingenieurbauten vielfältige Möglichkeiten gegeben. So ist bei der Planung von Brückenneubauten eine durchgehende computergestützte Konstruktion und Tragwerksplanung vom Vorentwurf bis hin zur Fertigung möglich. Weiterhin gestatten besondere Berechnungsmethoden bei speziellen Belastungsarten eine exaktere Schnittkraft- und Spannungsermittlung und dadurch eine dem wirklichen Tragverhalten entsprechende genauere Nachweisführung. An Beispielen aus dem konstruktiven Ingenieurbau im Zuge der Sanierung der Berliner Stadtbahn wird die Anwendung moderner Rechentechnik und computergestützter Konstruktionsmethoden und Berechnungsverfahren diskutiert. Die Berliner Stadtbahn wird in weiten Abschnitten über gemauerte Ziegelsteinviadukte geführt. Das Konzept der Sanierungsmaßnahmen sah neben der Anordnung einer lastverteilenden Platte einen Gleisaufbau als Feste Fahrbahn vor. Zusätzlich wurden die Gleisabstände den heutigen Bundesbahnvorschriften angepaßt. Aus diesem Grund wurde eine genaue Nachrechnung der Stadbahnviadukte unter Berücksichtigung der verschiedensten Parameter (z.B. Fugen in der lastverteilenden Platte, Rißbildung im Mauerwerk, Schubverformungen in Fugen zwischen Beton und Mauerwerk bei Überschreitung von Grenzwerten) erforderlich. Die zwischen dem Berliner Hauptbahnhof und dem Bahnhof Jannowitzbrücke befindliche Eisenbahnüberführung über die Holzmarktstraße wurden abgebrochen. Das neue Bauwerk besteht aus einer zweifeldrigen, schiefwinkligen Deckbrücke für 4 Gleise. Auf Grund der komplizierten geometrischen Randbedingungen erfolgte eine durchgängige computergestützte Erstellung der Ausführungsunterlagen. Die Hauptabmessungen der Konstruktion wurden mit Hilfe von Vermessungsdaten bestimmt, die im CAD-Programm verarbeitet wurden. Die CAD-Daten bildeten die geometrischen Eingangsgrößen für das Berechnungsprogramm. Die Querschnittsdimensionierung der Berechnung ging dann in die CAD-Bearbeitung ein. Die Koordinaten für die Werkstattfertigung sowie für die Montage auf der Baustelle ergaben sich ebenfalls aus den Berechnungsergebnissen.

The approach is based on the Petri Net theory for the modelling of planning processes and workflows in Structural Engineering. Firstly, a central and coarse process model serves as a pre-structuring system for the detailed modelling of the technical planning activities. Secondly, the involved planning participants generate distributed process models with detailed technical workflow information. Finally, these distributed process models will be combined in the central workflow net. The final net is of great importance for the process orientation in Structural Engineering, i.e., the identification, publication, analysis, optimization and finally the management of planning processes.

N2 - Bridge caps ensure the separation of the traffic areas to roadway and sidewalk and must take up protection and guidance establishments. For the anchorage of the bridge caps at the superstructure depending on the requirements connection armouring and/or plate anchors are arranged. The present work analyses fundamental possibilities for the instrumentation examination of bridge caps with use of plate anchors. The theoretical and constructive bases of the cap design are regarded. In addition the connections between the occurring effects and their consequences for bridge caps are regarded. Characteristic values are derived into the ascertainment of the strain in the caps and the plate anchors and are analysed regarding the instrumentation collection and evaluation of the measuring data.

The industry is highly fragmented, price sensitive, risk-adverse, and profit margins are small. Each project is unique with a small amount of technological innovation opportunities to capitalise on from one project to the next. Technological innovations that have been taking place are just simulating the old traditional paper workflow. Engineering information in digital form is being conveyed using traditional paper representations, which have to be interpreted by humans before the information can be used in other applications, thereby creating ‘islands of information’. It can be seen that poorly implemented IT strategies are duplicating paperwork, rather than reducing or eliminating it (Crowley et al., 2000). This paper will introduce the Integrated Engineering Workflow (IEW) concept to re-organise a structural discipline working on multi-disciplinary projects so as to maximise the advantages offered by new information technology.

H. T1 - An application-centred framework for distributed engineering applications N2 - The conceptual structure of an application that can support the structural analysis task in a distributed collaboratory is described in (van Rooyen and Olivier 2004). The application described there has a standalone component for executing the finite element method on a local workstation in the absence of network access. This application is comparable to current, local workstation based finite element packages. However, it differs fundamentally from standard packages since the application itself, and its objects, are adapted to support distributed execution of the analysis task. Basic aspects of an object-oriented framework for the development of applications which can be used in similar distributed collaboratories are described in this paper. An important feature of this framework is its application-centred design. This means that an application can contain any number of engineering models, where the models are formed by the collection of objects according to semantic views within the application. This is achieved through very flexible classes Application and Model, which are described in detail. The advantages of the application-centred design approach is demonstrated with reference to the design of steel structures, where the finite element analysis model, member design model and connection design model interact to provide the required functionality.

This paper describes the design, development and implementation of a Grid enabled application called the Product Supplier Catalogue Database (PSCD) which supports collaborative working in consortia. As part of the Grid-enabling process, specialised metadata is being developed to enable PSCD to effectively utilise Grid middleware such as Globus and Java CoG toolkits.

A1 - Rueppel, Uwe A1 - Theiss, Mirko T1 - Network-Based Fire Engineering Supported by Agents N2 - Building design in Civil Engineering is characterized by the cooperation of experts in multiple disciplines. Close cooperation of engineers in different fields is the basis of high product quality, short development periods and a minimum of investment costs. For each building the engineers have to create a new fire engineering model. The consistent realization of the fire engineering model in all details has high demands on communication, collaboration and building models. Thereby, to preserve the related design models consistent to each other and compatible with the rules of fire engineering is a complex task. In addition, regulations and guidelines vary according to the building location, so the knowledge base must be integrated dynamically into the planning process. This contribution covers the integration of engineers and design models into a cooperation network on the basis of mobile agents. The distributed models of architectural design, structural planning and fire engineering are supported. These models are implemented as XML-based models which can be accessed by mobile agents for information retrieval and for processing tasks. Agents are provided to all planners, they are enabled to check up the distributed design models with the knowledge base of the fire protection regulations,. With the use of such an agent each planner is supported to check up his planning for accordance with the fire protection requirements. The fire-engineering-agent analyzes the design and detects inconsistencies by processing fire protection requirements and design model facts in a rule-based expert system. The possibility to check the planning information at an early state in the sense of compatibility to the fire protection regulations enables a comprehensive diagnosis of the design and the reduction of planning errors.

An analyst represents a project manager, planner or any other person, involved in the planning process. Today, planning processes are managed by several geographically distributed planners and project managers. Thus, complexity of such a process rises even more. Prediction of consequences of many planning decisions is not possible, in particular since assessment of a planning advance is not trivial. There have to be considered several viewpoints, that depend on individual perceptions. In the following, methods are presented to realize planning decision support.

Solche Objekte sind beispiels- weise Querschnitte, Träger, Stützen und Fundamente. Diese Teilobjekte werden durch eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von Parametern festgelegt werden. Wählt man für diese Parameter die entsprechendnen Fachbegriffe, so hat man durch diese die Möglichkeit die Teilobjekte auch in Datenbanken zu speichern. Neben den Sachparametern müssen auch zeichnungs- technische Werte, wie Maßstab, gewählte Längeneinheiten (m,cm..) und Einsatzpunkt - für die Lage des Teilobjektes im Gesamtplan - gespeichert werden. Zeichenmodule für jedes Teilobjekt können dann bei Aufruf eines bestimmten Planes aus den Daten der Datenbank die Teilzeichnungen generieren, sodaß eine Planspeicherung in der übliche Speicherform (Speicherelemente Punkt, Linie usw.) nicht mehr erforderlich ist. Neben der reinen Darstellung können die Programmodule auch dahingehend erweitert werden, daß auch die zugehörigen Berechnungen durchgeführt werden. Die numerischen Ergebnisse wie auch die Eingabewerte werden in einem alfanumerischen Dokument abgelegt. Damit ergibt sich dann ein Konstruktionsystem für den Entwurf, das insbesondere die Berechnung von Varianten sehr erleichertert.

The focus of such research has been to develop solution algorithms and investigate responses or behaviors of interest. However, proving the quality and reliability of the model output in structural engineering has become a topic of increasing importance. Therefore, this study is an attempt to extend concepts of uncertainty and sensitivity analyses to assess the dynamic response of a coupled model in bridge engineering considering time-dependent vehicular loading. A setting for the sensitivity analysis is proposed, which enables performing the sensitivity analysis considering random stochastic processes. The classical and proposed sensitivity settings are used to identify the relevant input parameters and models that have the most influence on the variance of the dynamic response. The sensitivity analysis exercises the model itself and extracts results without the need for measurements or reference solutions; however, it does not offer a means of ranking the coupled models studied. Therefore, concepts of total uncertainty are employed to rank the coupled models studied according to their fitness in describing the dynamic problem. The proposed procedures are applied in two examples to assess the output of coupled subsystems and coupled partial models in bridge engineering considering the passage of a heavy vehicle at various speeds. N2 - Brückenschwingungen infolge von Verkehrslasten sind seit mehreren Jahrzehnten Gegenstand intensiver Forschung. Im Fokus stand hierbei im Besonderen die Entwicklung von Lösungsalgorithmen zur Ermittlung des dynamischen Bauwerkverhaltens. Begleitet ist diese Entwicklung von der Frage nach der Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit dieser Modelle für den Gebrauch im konstruktiven Ingenieurbau. In diesem Zusammenhang werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit Konzepte der Unsicherheits- und Sensitivitätsanalyse erweitert, um das dynamische Bauwerkverhalten unter Berücksichtigung transienter Fahrzeuglasten bei gekoppelten Modellen des Brückenbaus zu bewerten. Bestehende Sensitivitätsanalysen werden ergänzt, um diese auch unter Berücksichtigung von stochastischen Prozessen durchführen zu können. Die klassische und die erweiterte Methode werden angewandt, um relevante Eingangsparameter sowie Partialmodelle mit wesentlichem Einfluss auf die Varianz der dynamischen Strukturantwort zu identifizieren. Die mit Hilfe der Sensitivitätsanalyse ermittelbaren Kennzahlen können ohne Bezug zu einer Referenzlösung in die Modellbewertung einfließen, allerdings ist es nicht möglich, die Modelle hinsichtlich der realitätsnahen Abbildung des dynamischen Problems zu bewerten. Um dies zu ermöglichen, wurden Konzepte der Gesamtunsicherheit verwendet. Die vorgestellten Methoden wurden auf zwei Beispiele angewandt, um die Ergebnisse von gekoppelten Subsystemen und gekoppelten Partialmodellen des Brückenbaus zu evaluieren. Hierbei handelt es sich um die Überfahrt von schweren Fahrzeugen mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeiten.

T1 - Collaboration in AEC Design : Web-enabling Applications using Peer-to-Peer Office Communicator N2 - A market analysis conducted by Gartner Dataquest in August 2001 has shown the typical characteristics of the AEC design process. High volatility in membership of AEC design groups and members dispersed over several external offices is the common collaboration scenario. Membership is most times short lived, compared to the overall duration of the process. A technical solution has to take that into account by making joining and leaving a collaborative work group very easy. The modelling of roles of collaboration between group members must be based on a commonly understood principle like the publisher / subscriber model, where the individual that is responsible for the distribution of vital information is clear. Security issues and trust in the confidentiality of the system is a central concern for the acceptance of the system. Therefore, keeping the subset of data that will be published under the absolute control of the publisher is a must. This is not the case with server-based scenarios, sometimes even due to psychological reasons. A loosely bound Peer-to-Peer network offers advantages over a server-based solution, because of less administrative overhead and simple installation procedures. In a peer-to-peer environment, a publish/subscribe role model can be more easily implemented. The publish/subscribe model matches the way AEC processes are modelled in real world scenarios today, where legal proof of information exchange between external offices is of high importance. Workflow management systems for small to midsize companies of the AEC industry may adopt the peer-to-peer approach to collaboration in the future. Further investigations are being made on the research level (WINDS) by integrating the viewer and redlining application Collaborate! into a collaborative environment.

A1 - Rueppel, Uwe T1 - Integration of Productmodel Databases into Multi-Agent Systems N2 - This paper deals with two different agent-based approaches aimed at the incorporation of complex design information into multi-agent planning systems. The first system facilitates collaborative structural design processes, the second one supports fire engineering in buildings. Both approaches are part of two different research projects that belong to the DFG1 priority program 1103 entitled “Network-based Co-operative Planning Processes in Structural Engineering“ (DFG 2000). The two approaches provide similar database wrapper agents to integrate relevant design information into two multi-agent systems: Database wrapper agents make the relevant product model data usable for further agents in the multi-agent system, independent on their physical location. Thus, database wrapper agents act as an interface between multi-agent system and heterogeneous database systems. The communication between the database wrapper agents and other requesting agents presumes a common vocabulary: a specific database ontology that maps database related message contents into database objects. Hereby, the software-wrapping technology enables the various design experts to plug in existing database systems and data resources into a specific multi-agent system easily. As a consequence, dynamic changes in the design information of large collaborative engineering projects are adequately supported. The flexible architecture of the database wrapper agent concept is demonstrated by the integration of an XML and a relational database system.

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.
