TY - JOUR A1 - Shih, Naai-Jung A1 - Lee, Wen-Pang T1 - Particle Simulation and Evaluation of Personal Exposure to Contaminant Sources in an Elevation Space N2 - An elevator, which figures a small volume, is normally used by everyone for a short period of time and equipped with simple ventilation system..Any contaminant released within it may cause serious problem. This research adapt a fire and smoke simulation software (FDS) into non-fire indoor airflow scario. Differently from previous research, particles are chosen as a risk evalution unit. A personal and multi-personal exposure model is proposed. The model takes the influence of the human thermal boundary, coughing, inhalation, exhalation, standing position, and the fan factor into account. The model is easy-to-use and suitable for the design of elevator system in practice.

Compared to ordinary low order formulation (h-elements) in conjunction with an adaptive mesh refinement in each optimization step, the use of high order finite elements (so called p-elements) has several advantages. However, compared to the h-method a higher order finite element analysis program poses higher demands from a software engineering point of view. In this article the basics of an object oriented higher order finite element system especially tailored to the use in structural optimization is presented. Besides the design of the system, aspects related to the employed implementation language Java are discussed.

Makromodelle beschreiben das Mauerwerk als verschmiertes Ersatzkontinuum. Mikromodelle berücksichtigen durch die Modellierung der einzelnen Steine und Fugen die Struktur des Mauerwerkverbandes. Soll darüber hinaus der durch die Querdehnungsinteraktion zwischen Stein und Mörtel hervorgerufene heterogene Spannungszustand im Mauerwerk abgebildet werden, so ist ein detailliertes Mikromodell, welches Steine und Fugen in ihren exakten geometrischen Dimensionen berücksichtigt, erforderlich. Demgegenüber steht die vereinfachte Mikromodellierung, bei der die Fugen mit Hilfe von Kontaktalgorithmen beschrieben werden. Im Rahmen der Makromodellierung werden neue räumliche Materialmodelle für verschiedene ein- und mehrschalige Mauerwerkarten hergeleitet. Die vorgestellten Modelle berücksichtigen die Anisotropie der Steifigkeiten, der Festigkeiten sowie des Ver- und Entfestigungsverhaltens. Die numerische Implementation erfolgt mit Hilfe moderner elastoplastischer Algorithmen im Rahmen der impliziten Finite Element Methode in das Programm ANSYS. Innerhalb der detaillierten Mikromodellierung wird ein neues, aus Materialbeschreibungen für Stein, Mörtel sowie deren Verbund bestehendes nichtlineares Berechnungsmodell entwickelt und in das Programm ANSYS implementiert. Die diskontinuumsmechanische Beschreibung von Mauerwerk im Rahmen der vereinfachten Mikromodellierung erfolgt unter Verwendung der expliziten Distinkt Element Methode mit Hilfe der Programme UDEC und 3DEC. An praktischen Beispielen werden Probleme der Tragfähigkeitsbewertung gemauerter Bogenbrücken, Möglichkeiten zur Bewertung vorhandener Rissbildungen und Schädigungen an historischen Mauerwerkstrukturen und Traglastberechnungen an gemauerten Stützen ausgewertet und analysiert. N2 - This dissertation presents the development, verification, implementation and efficiency of numerical models for masonry using continuum mechanics and discontinuum mechanics. For macro modelling three-dimensional elasto-plastic continuum models for regular and irregular, single- and multi-leaf masonry types is developed. The constitutive model is based on the multisurface plasticity theory and includes anisotropic elastic and inelastic behaviour, depending on the orientation of the masonry joints. The yield domain, its hardening law and softening law are defined according to experimental results. On this basis, it is possible to simulate masonry-specific failure and damage mechanisms. For consistent numeric implementation, modern elasto-plastic algorithms were used, including the Return Mapping procedure for local iteration at the integration point level, as well as consistent tangent operators and the Newton-Raphson method. The models were implemented into the implicit Finite-Element code ANSYS. For the detailed micro modelling strategy, a new computational model consist of material models for mortar, stone and bond is developed. For the simplified micro modelling strategy, the explicit distinct element method is used to describe the masonry assembly as a discontinuum. The verification analyses show good concordance between experimental and numerical results for different masonry types. The efficiency of the computation models is finally demonstrated, using sample calculations of large masonry structures.

In der Arbeit werden auf der Grundlage isotroper Betrachtungen im Halbraum Prognosen für unbeprobte Bereiche eines linienförmigen Bauwerkes erstellt. Aufbauend auf dem bekannten Algorithmus der Geostatistik werden Berechnungen mit deterministischen Eingangsgrößen durchgeführt. Diese sind in einem Datensatz zusammengefasst und gehen ohne Unterteilung bzw. Bildung von (Homogen)Bereichen in die Schätzungen ein. Zur Anwendung kam dabei die an der Professur Grundbau der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar entwickelte Software GeoStat. Nach der Variogrammanalyse folgten geostatistische Berechnungen mit dem Ordinary und dem Universal Kriging. Der genutzte Datensatz unterlag dabei mehrfachen Modifikationen, um Unterschiede in der Ergebnisbildung beobachten zu können. Die Krigingschätzungen wurden für subjektiv ausgewählte Beprobungspunkte erstellt, die mit Referenzprofilen verglichen werden konnten. Im Ergebnis traten für alle durchgeführten Simulationen erhebliche Abweichungen der berechneten Werte zu den Referenzprofilen auf. Die Verwendung von Datensätzen ohne eine vorherige Bearbeitung und Unterteilung in Homogenbereiche erweist sich als nicht ratsam. Vielmehr ist es notwendig kompliziertere Krigingvarianten einzusetzen bzw. die benutzten Methoden mit anderen Verfahren zu kombinieren.

Bagging is used to improve the prediction accuracy of these two algorithms, and results are compared with the ones obtained earlier by the k-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. From the conducted experiments, both the bagged regression tree and bagged model tree produce better results than not only their corresponding regression tree and model tree alone, but also the KNN with optimal value of k equal to 7. In addition, the bagged model tree yields the lowest prediction errors and a highest correlation coefficient of 0.81. It is demonstrated that it is feasible to use the bagged model tree for engineering applications in prediction problems such as estimating the remaining service life of bridge decks.

Since the turn of the millennium, new technology developments enable for the first time to gather accurate as-built information. Accurate as-built data will be of great usage to construction management as well as to designers and engineers. Given that most of the planned data are already digitally available, as-built data remains on paper forms. Information technology developments are opening new ways to digitize construction field data in order to develop intelligent tools for construction management allowing design engineers to update as-planned data. 3D Laser scanning, digital close-range photogrammetry and mobile computing are among the promising data collection technologies, which are auspicious to create new opportunities to develop advanced construction management and engineering tools. Primarily, accurate collected as-built data will be highly beneficial for the process of updating as-planned data.

A1 - Olivier, A. H. T1 - Notes on structural analysis in a distributed collaboratory N2 - The worldwide growth of communication networks and associated technologies provide the basic infrastructure for new ways of executing the engineering process. 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.

Before planning can begin, buildings must be surveyed in whole or in part with the surveying of geometric data playing a dominant role. The geometric survey is typically undertaken using geodetic or photogrammetric measuring techniques and equipment that have been adapted for use in building surveying. Accordingly appropriate technical knowledge is required in order to be able to operate them as well as a considerable financial investment. Such equipment and surveying methods are usually adaptations from other disciplines. The paper discusses and presents approaches to developing “new” equipment for building surveying, devised with the needs of building surveying in mind – redesigns or new designs for surveying tools. The designs are the result of an inter-disciplinary project between the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Product Design at the Bauhaus Universität Weimar.

Well-integrated software tools exist for the planning and construction phases. Data integrity exists throughout the planning and construction phases, but problems occur at the transition to the use-phase. At this interface, the complete data set of planning and execution gets lost. Another software deficiency is that current software solutions don’t handle construction work and maintenance work equally. This is why a new software generation is demanded, which continuously covers the entire workflow process from the planning phase to the demolition of a building. New data concepts have to be developed, which allow bringing work items for construction together with work items for real estate use.

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.

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.
