These design objects need to communicate data and information among each other. For efficient communication among design objects a common communication protocol need to be defined. This paper presents the elements of a communication protocol that uses a mediator agent to facilitate communication among design objects. This protocol is termed the Mediative Communication Protocol (MCP). The protocol uses certain design communication performatives and the semantics of an Agent Communication language (ACL) mainly the Knowledge and Query Manipulation Language (KQML) to implement its steps. Details of a Mediator Agent, that will facilitate the communication among design objects, is presented. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to present the Meditative protocol and show how the mediator agent can be use to execute the steps of the meditative communication protocol. An example from structural engineering application is presented to demonstrate and validate the protocol. It is concluded that the meditative protocol is a viable protocol to facilitate object-to-object communication and also has potential to facilitate communication among the different project participants at the higher level of integrated structural engineering systems.

Der Anwendungsschwerpunkt umfasst neben dem traditionellen Aufgabenumfang zur Analyse neu zu errichtender Tragwerke gleichzeitig auch Planungsaufgaben, die mit Umbau- und Sanierungsmaßnahmen verbunden sind. Veränderungen, die sich während der Nutzungsgeschichte oder im Revitalisierungsprozess ergeben, werden in den Berechnungsmodellen berücksichtigt. In vielen Fällen ist es aus planerischer Sicht zweckmäßig, die Nichtlinearität des Materialverhaltens zur Erschließung von Tragreserven in den normativen Nachweiskonzepten mit einzubeziehen. Der damit verbundene numerische Aufwand wird durch die Verwendung separater Modelle zur Erfassung des Querschnitts- und des Systemtragverhaltens begrenzt, ohne die Komplexität der Aufgabenstellung zu reduzieren. Aus detaillierten Querschnittsuntersuchungen der Tragwände werden integrale Materialbeziehungen abgeleitet, welche die Grundlage für die nichtlineare Tragwerksanalyse darstellen. Die Modellbildung gegliederter Aussteifungswände basiert auf deren Zerlegung in ebene finite Stabsegmente, die sich durch die Diskretisierung in Längs- und in Querrichtung ergeben. Zusätzlich zu den an den Stabenden angreifenden Normalkräften, Querkräften und Biegemomenten werden an den Elementlängsrändern Schubbeanspruchungen erfasst. Die physikalische Nichtlinearität wird durch die Einbeziehung integraler Materialbeziehungen an den Segmenträndern berücksichtigt. Die numerische Umsetzung erfolgt mit Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung. Die Leistungsfähigkeit der Berechnungsstrategie wird exemplarisch anhand von Untersuchungen an Aussteifungssystemen in Großtafelbauweise nachgewiesen. N2 - In this thesis a strategy to physically non-linear analysis of multi-storey buildings will be developed. With respect to reconstruction and revitalisation the structural system as well as the loadings can be modified. If the determination of internal forces is based on the assumption of linear elastic material behaviour, the bearing capacity of the structural system will be often not checkable. In this context it is reasonable to use models, which include non-linear effects. The investigated wall assemblies are subdivided into elementary wall elements, normally rectangular. At the edges of elements shear forces secures the compatibility between the individual walls. The physically non-linearity will be included by multi-linear material laws. The mechanical problem for determination of internal forces und deformations will be formulate as extremum principle with contraints. The mechanical model presented in this thesis shall be demonstrate on a structural system of large planel structure.

In this context fuzzy models have proved themselves to be very suitable for the representation of complex design knowledge. However their definition is a laborious task. This paper introduces an approach for the design and the optimization of fuzzy systems based upon Genetic Programming. To keep the emerging fuzzy systems transparent a new framework for the definition of linguistic variables is also introduced.

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.

One is the famous Sierpinski Gasket and another is a fractal triangle derived by means of applying a process forming leaves of a cedar tree using M. F. Barnsley’s contraction mapping theory. Therefore a pair of x-y coordinates of an arbitrary nodal point on the structures are generated easily if IFS(Iterated Function System) codes and a scale of them are specified. Structural members are defined similarly. Thus data for frame analysis can be generated automatically, which is significant if the objective structure has complex configuration. Next analytical results under vertical and wind loadings in Japanese Building Code are shown. Here members are assumed to be timber and to have cross section of 15cm×15cm. Finally authors conclude that geometrically new truss structures were developed and automatic data generation for frame analysis was attained using IFS. Analytical results show they contribute to saving material when compared it with King-post truss.

Also effective disaster management demands decentralized, dynamic, flexible, short term and across domain resource sharing, which is not well supported by existing distributing computing infrastructres. The paper proposes a conceptual framework for emergency management in the built environment, using Semantic Grid as an integrating platform for different technologies. The framework supports a distributed network of specialists in built environment, including structural engineers, building technologists, decision analysts etc. It brings together the necessary technology threads, including the Semantic Web (to provide a framework for shared definitions of terms, resources and relationships), Web Services (to provide dynamic discovery and integration) and Grid Computing (for enhanced computational power, high speed access, collaboration and security control) to support rapid formation of virtual teams for disaster management. The proposed framework also make an extensive use of modelling and simulation (both numerical and using visualisations), data mining (to find resources in legacy data sets) and visualisation. It also include a variety of hardware instruments with access to real time data. Furthermore the whole framework is centred on collaborative working by the virtual team. Although focus of this paper is on disaster management, many aspects of the discussed Grid and Visualisation technologies will be useful for any other forms of collaboration. Conclusions are drawn about the possible future impact on the built environment.

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.

On the lowest level we have geographical information systems (GIS) representing the outer layer of our planet as a 3D model. In the meantime these systems do not only give a geographical model but also present additional information like ownership, infrastructure and others that might be of interest for the construction business. In future these systems will serve as basis for virtual environments for planning and simulation of construction sites. In addition to this work is done on the integration of GIS systems with 3D city models in the area of urban planning and thus integration of different levels of detail. This article presents research work on the use of 3D models in construction on the next level of detail below the level of urban planning. The 3D city model is taken as basis for the 3D model of the construction site. In this virtual nD-world a contractor can organize and plan his resources, simulate different variants of construction processes and thus find out the most effective solution for the consideration of costs and time. On the basis of former researches the authors present a new approach for cost estimation and simulation using development technologies from game software.

Ausgehend von der musterorientierten Perspektive - das heißt Untersuchungsgegenstand sind chronologische Abfolgen von Ortsveränderungen und Tätigkeiten in Form von Wege-Aktivitätenmustern - besteht das Ziel einer möglichst realitätsnahen Abbildung und Erklärung von individuellen Unterschieden im Raum-Zeit-Verhalten. Neu bzw. kaum etabliert sind in diesem Kontext der eigens konzipierte Multimethodenansatz sowie die Optimal Matching Technik, die erweiterte Abbildungseigenschaften zur Distanzmessung zwischen Wege-Aktivitätenmustern aufweist. Erkannt werden durch jene Methode gleiche Tätigkeiten bzw. Ortsveränderungen, die zeitlich an unterschiedlichen Stellen der zu vergleichenden Muster angeordnet sind sowie identische Subsequenzen. Zielführend in der Datenanalyse ist nachstehende Abfolge von Verfahren: Die Klassifikation von Wege-Aktivitätenmustern zur Reduktionen deren immenser Komplexität gelingt durch Einsatz der Optimal Matching Technik. Diese quantifiziert (Un-)ähnlichkeiten zwischen Wege-Aktivitätenmustern („Abstandsmessung“) unterschiedlicher Personen oder zu vergleichender Zeitabschnitte einer Person. Die dadurch berechnete Distanzmatrix bildet den Ausgangspunkt des clusteranalytischen Fusions-algorithmus, dessen Aufgabe die Zusammenfassung der Wege-Aktivitätenmuster ist (explorative Stufe). Die Anwendung eines multinomialen Logit-Modells ermöglicht auf Individualebene die Vorhersage der Affinität zu Wege-Aktivitätenmuster-Typen anhand von Merkmalswerten identifizierter Erklärungsgrößen der Personen, des Haushaltes usw. (induktive Stufe). Im Gegensatz zu einschlägigen Forschungsarbeiten zeichnet sich die gewählte Untersuchungsstrategie durch die Objektivität des Vorgehens aus, da eine a-priori Bildung von Personen-kategorien nicht notwendig ist. Ebenso grenzt die Berücksichtigung der zufälligen und nicht-erklärbaren Verhaltensvariabilität durch das Wahrscheinlichkeitsprinzip des gewählten Logit-Modells das eigene Vorgehen von anderen Untersuchungen ab. Aufgrund der weitgehend ungeklärten Anwendungsgrundlagen der Optimal Matching Technik befasst sich die vorliegende Arbeit zunächst mit dessen inhaltlicher Ausrichtung am Untersuchungsgegenstand. Die Anpassung der festzulegenden Aufwandswerte, welche für die benötigten Aktionen angesetzt werden, um ein Wege-Aktivitätenmuster in ein anderes zu transformieren, erfolgt mit Hilfe einer empirisch Abschätzung, die weit über ein argumentatives Vorgehen hinausgeht. Der ermittelte Sequenzabstand inkludiert dabei die operationsspezifische Distanz bei Übergängen zwischen den konstituierenden Zuständen der zu vergleichenden Wege-Aktivitätenmuster („Zustandsähnlichkeit“). Abstandsmaß für die qualitativen Zustände ist dabei die ermittelte Priorität von wege- und tätigkeitenbezogenen Handlungen. Die Relevanz einer Ausrichtung belegt auch die durchgeführte Sensitivitätsanalyse: Das Ausmaß der Empfindlichkeit der Optimal Matching Technik ist insbesondere gegenüber der Festlegung der Aufwandswerte beträchtlich. Um die Analysepotenziale des Multimethodenansatzes zu demonstrieren, werden exemplarisch interpersonelle Unterschiede im wöchentlichen Aktivitäten-(Verkehrs-)verhaltens (Datenbasis: deutsches Mobilitätspanel) analysiert. Ergebnis der Klassifikation (explorative Analysestufe) ist eine auf den ersten Blick inhaltlich stichhaltige Wege-Aktivitätenmuster-Typologie charakteristischer Wochenabläufe des Aktivitäten-(Verkehrs-)verhaltens: Unterschiedliche Arten, zeitlicher Umfang und zeitliche Lage der Haupt-aktivitäten, unterschiedliche Verkehrsverhaltensweisen sowie unterschiedliche clusterspezifische Tag zu Tag Rhythmen, Gleichförmigkeiten, Schwankungen usw. des Raum-Zeit-Verhaltens kennzeichnen die Wege-Aktivitätenmuster-Typen. Die Abbildungs-eigenschaften der Optimal-Matching Technik zeichnen sich in den erstellten Clustern nur teilweise ab: Während die Zustandselementkomposition - augenscheinlich betrachtet - passabel durch die Wege-Aktivitätenmuster-Typologie abgebildet wird, bleibt ungewiss, ob und inwieweit dies für die Abfolgeähnlichkeit gilt. Aus dem induktiven Analyseschritt geht hervor: Alter, Geschlecht, Verfügbarkeit einer ÖPNV-Zeitkarte, Führerscheinbesitz und mit herausragender Bedeutung der Erwerbsstatus signalisieren als maßgebende Erklärungsgrößen eine Trennwirkung. Überdies zeigt das Gesamtbild der ermittelten Wirkungsrichtungen und Effektstärken überzeugende Erklärungszusammenhänge auf. Damit ist ein Nachweis der Praktikabilität des eigens konzipierten Multimethodenansatzes unter Verwendung der Optimal Matching Technik zur musterorientierten Analyse des Raum-Zeit-Verhaltens erbracht. N2 - Social change is reflected in more and more complex individual travel-activity behaviour, which can be represented as travel-activity patterns. The analytical classification of travel activty-pattern into groups and the description of the travel activty-pattern types is an important issue to travel-activty behaviour analysis for a long time. A realistic measure between individual travel-activity patterns is the basis for the analysis and the description of differences in travel-activity behaviour. In the centre of the multi-method-approach stands the practical application of the so-called Optimal Matching Technique. This approach is adapted, tested and applied. This method involves the element composition - identical activities and trips in both travel-activity patterns, which are arranged in different positions - and the element order - the identical order of activities and trips in both travel-activity patterns. The multi-method approach contains the following basic components: Classification of the travel-activity pattern: Statistical analysis starts with the most important point: the application of the Optimal Matching Technique. This sequence alignment method quantifies dissimilarities between travel-activity patterns in the form of distances. While conventional distance measures for sequences compare only elements of the same position, the Optimal Matching Technique extends the ability to measure the degree of differences between sequences. The result of the application of the Optimal Matching Technique is a symmetrical distance matrix, in which dissimilarity scores for the travel-activity patterns pairs are specified. As a second step, the purpose of the application of the cluster analysis is to classify the travel-activity pattern based on the calculated distance matrix of the Optimal Matching Technique Description of the travel-activity pattern types: The identification of variables, which explain the affinity to a travel-activity pattern type as independent variables, forms the main function of the last methodological step. For this problem, the use of a multinomial logit model is appropriate, because this method allows a determination of influences of different explanatory variables on a dependent, categorial variable. The explanatory model results in statements of probability for a person with personal, household and spatial characteristics to realize travel-activity pattern types. The multi-method approach is characterised by a direct strategy, which guarantees a high level of objectivity. Further on a probabilistic causal relation between person type and travel-activity pattern type is appropriate on the background of social change. The statistical methods for cluster analysis and the logit model are “state of the practice”. Only the new method Optimal Matching Technique will be described closer. For the application of the Optimal Matching Technique a priori assumptions must be made for the ”cost” of the transformation operation, which is a key issue of the method. The criteria of priority is introduced as a measure for states and changes in states for activities and trips. Testing the sensitivity of the results of the Optimal Matching Technique depends on the definition of “cost”. It can be concluded that there is a strong influence on travel-activity pattern distances. The multi-method approach is applied in an exemplary manner both to classify weekly travel-activity pattern and to describe the travel-activity pattern types. The empirical data-base is the German Mobility Panel (MOP). The classification results in a seven cluster solution of weekly travel-activity pattern types, which can be interpreted in a plausible way. It can be shown, that the approach of comparing activity-travel pattern based on the Optimal Matching Technique captures the element composition. It remains uncertain if and how far this succeeds to the element order. The seven travel-activity pattern types can be described in terms of sociodemographic characteristics ("age", “gender” and "status of employment"), “driving licence” and “discount public transport”.

Often these data are given exclusively by paper-based drawings and no digital data such as a computer based product model or even a CAD-model are available. In order to perform mass calculation, damage mapping or a recalculation of the structure these drawings of the building under consideration have to be analysed manually by the engineer. This is a very time-consuming job. In order to close this gap between drawings of an existing building and a digital product model an approach is presented in this paper to digitise a drawing, to build up geometric and topologic models and to recognise construction parts of the building. Finally all recognised parts are transformed into a three-dimensional geometric model which provides all necessary geometric information for the product model. During this import process the semantics of a ground floor plan has to be converted into a 3D-model.

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.

Persistent objects of the applications are stored to data bases. The influence of the interaction between a graphical user interface and a data base for the development of an civil engineering application is investigated in this paper. A graphic application for the linear elastic analysis of plane frames, which was previously developed with standard tools of the Java platform, is compared to a redesigned implementation using a generalized data base for persistent objects. The investigation leads to the following results : - A strict distinction between persistent and transient objects influences the class structure of an application, in particular the class structure of a graphical user interface. - The structure of an application depends on the logic for updating of references to persistent and transient graphical objects after an application is read from a file. - The complexity of the reference management can usually be handled better by just in time referencing associated with String - identifiers rather than by automated referencing associated with Name - identifiers.

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.

The central task that is carried out during conceptual design is the synthesis of the structural system. This paper proposes a methodology for the synthesis of structural solutions. Given the nature of architectural constraints, user-model interactivity is devised as the most suitable computer methodology for driving the structural synthesis process. Taking advantage of the hierarchical organization of the structural system, this research proposes a top-down approach for structural synthesis. Through hierarchical refinement, the approach lends itself to the synthesis of global and local structural solutions. The components required for implementing the proposed methodology are briefly described. The main components have been incorporated in a proof-of-concept prototype that is being tested and validated with actual buildings.

T1 - Supporting Domain Experts in Determining Viable User Interface Designs for Wearable Computers Used in AEC Work Situations N2 - The design of mobile IT systems, especially the design of wearable computer systems, is a complex task that requires computer science knowledge, such as that related to hardware configuration and software development, in addition to knowledge of the domain in which the system is intended to be used. Particularly in the AEC sector, it is necessary that the support from mobile information technology fit the work situation at hand. Ideally, the domain expert alone can adjust the wearable computer system to achieve this fit without having to consult IT experts. In this paper, we describe a model that helps in transferring existing design knowledge from non-AEC domains to new projects in the construction area. The base for this is a model and a methodology that describes the usage scenarios of said computer systems in an application-neutral and domain-independent way. Thus, the actual design information and experience will be transferable between different applications and domains.

VAS is capable of handling a heavy load of routine, lowtech maintenance jobs. It assigns a different priority to each job application according to its significance and urgency, and automatically adjusts schedules for maintenance engineers when on-site supervision is needed. The system can help ease off the burden of routine small-scale maintenance work, making it more cost-effective and efficient in the overall management of school building maintenance. VAS posts jobs on the Web in a multi-media format and classified all applications into four categories: the on-call maintenance contract, the term maintenance contract, the guaranty maintenance contract, and the regular maintenance contract. It then estimates their urgency level and passes the information to maintenance engineers who will decide whether on-site inspection is needed. Based on the engineers’ feedback, VAS automatically implements the scheduling for inspection as well as sends out real-time or batch notifications to contractors. All these activities are recorded in a database to allow continuous research and data mining and the analysis and diagnosis of specific jobs for followup maintenance plans.

While these methods produce very detailed models of the scanned scene, useful for obtaining as-built drawings of existing structures, the associated computational time burden precludes the methods from being used onsite for real-time decision-making. Moreover, in many project life-cycle applications, detailed models of objects are not needed. Results of earlier research conducted by the authors demonstrated novel, highly economical methods that reduce data acquisition time and the need for computationally intensive processing. These methods enable complete local area modeling in the order of a minute, and with sufficient accuracy for applications such as advanced equipment control, simple as-built site modeling, and real-time safety monitoring for construction equipment. This paper describes a research project that is investigating novel ways of acquiring, integrating, modeling, and analyzing project site spatial data that do not rely on dense, expensive laser scanning technology and that enable scalability and robustness for real-time, field deployment. Algorithms and methods for modeling objects of simple geometric shape (geometric primitives from a limited number of range points, as well as methods provide a foundation for further development required to address more complex site situations, especially if dynamic site information (motion of personnel and equipment). Field experiments are being conducted to establish performance parameters and validation for the proposed methods and models. Initial experimental work has demonstrated the feasibility of this approach.

Given the growing emphasis on effectiveness and efficiency in construction projects, there is an imminent need to develop a formal procedure to select the best IT application for each proposed construction project and research and development (R&D) project. As there are numerous factors that have to be considered in selecting appropriate IT in a given situation, decision-makers need to have multicriteria decision-making ability. To enable them to make the most appropriate decision in any situation, it is important that effective tools incorporating multicriteria decision-making techniques are available. In this paper, an Analytic Network Process (ANP) model is conducted for the selection of appropriate IT application for innovative construction management prior to construction or research. The paper concludes that the ANP is a viable and capable tool for conducting IT application selection in multicriteria decision-making environment.

Specifically, the framework is developed for the integration of tools for project management applications. The infrastructure allows users to specify and to use existing heterogeneous tools (e.g., Microsoft Project, Microsoft Excel, Primavera Project Planner, and AutoCAD) for simulation of project scenarios. This paper describes the components of the SimAL language and the implementation efforts required in the development of the SimAL framework. An illustration example bringing on-line weather forecasting service for project scheduling and management applications is provided to demonstrate the use of the simulation language and the infrastructure framework.

T1 - Data acquisition, processing and management systems for a Canadian bridge monitoring project N2 - This paper will present a number of technical aspects for one of the most elaborate instrumentation and data acquisition projects ever undertaken in Canada. Confederation Bridge, the longest bridge built over ice covered seawater has been equipped with the state of the art data acquistition devices and systems as well as data transfer networks. The Bridge has been providing a fixed surface connection between Prince Edward Island and Province of New Brunswick in Canada since its opening in 1997. The Bridge has a rather long design service life of 100 years. Because of its large size and long span length, its design is not covered by any existing codes or standards worldwide. The focus of the paper is to introduce the data acquisition, transfer, processing and management systems. The instrumentation and communications infrastructure and devices will be presented in some details along with the data processing and management systems and techniques. Teams of engineers and researchers use the collected data to verify the analysis and design assumptions and parameters as well as investigate the short-term and long-term behaviour and health of the Bridge. The collected data are also used in furthering research activities in the field of bridge engineering and in elevating our knowledge about behaviour, reliability and durability of such complex structures, their components and materials.

Also, teachers of the RC course usually spend a lot of time in organizing the examinations for handling tedious calculations and complicated logical reasoning. Furthermore, correcting examination papers with partial scoring takes even more time of the teacher’s. Therefore, the objective of this research is to design and develop a partial scoring assessment system to meet the needs in engineering design courses, such as the RC course. This assessment system can generate test items with variable parameters. It also supports inference diagnosis on the examinee’s misconceptions and gives partial scores in grading the examination. In this research, the example test subject is the analysis of rectangular reinforced concrete beam with single layer steel bars.

Such specialist systems must take into account currently available technology, such as networked working patterns, object-orientation, building and product models as well as the working method of the planner. The paper describes a plausibility instrument for the formulation of colour scheme proposals for building interiors and elevations. With the help of intuitively usable light simulations, colour, material and spatial concepts can be assessed realistically. The software prototype “Coloured Architecture” is conceived as a professional extension to conventional design tools for the modelling of buildings. As such it can be used by the architect in the earliest design phases of the planning process as well as for colour implementation on location.

The model incorporates a multiobjective genetic algorithm and scheduling algorithm. The model initially generates a randomly selected set of solutions that evolves to a near optimal set of tradeoff solutions in subsequent generations. Each solution represents a unique scheduling solution that is associated with certain project duration and a number of interruption days for utilized construction crews. As such, the model provides project planners with alternative schedules along with their expected duration and resource utilization efficiency.

This paper presents the development of a scalable and multi-objective genetic algorithm that provides the capability of simultaneously optimizing construction time and cost large-scale construction projects. The genetic algorithm was implemented in a distributed computing environment that utilizes a recent standard for parallel and distributed programming called the message passing interface (MPI). The performance of the model is evaluated using a set of measures of performance and the results demonstrate the capability of the present model in significantly reducing the computational time required to optimize large-scale construction projects.

The five projects of the workgroup have developed completely different solutions for specific application domains. Each solution concept deals with a consistent product modeling and knowledge processing in a distributed environment in the planning process. The individual solution approaches of the projects are described and the underlying basic assumptions are discussed. A unified system architecture is described for all projects of the workgroup. Two different approaches (object-oriented and graph-based models) have been introduced for product and knowledge modeling. The common structure of these models will be explained to fully understand the differences of these modeling approaches. Finally the concepts for co-operative work and conflict management in a distributed environment are described: The solution approaches will be distinguished by classifying the supported co-operation according to time. A final scientific summary describes the state-of-the-art in network based co-operation in structural engineering: The role of research directions like knowledge modeling, standard product modeling and versioning in the distributed planning process will be explained.

The proposed technique uses a coarse-grain approach to model development whereby each element represents a complete building component such as a wall, internal space, or floor. The thermal behavior of each coarse-grain element is captured using empirical modeling techniques such as artificial neural networks (ANNs). The main advantages of the approach compared to conventional simulation methods are: (a) simplified model construction for the end-user; (b) simplified model reconfiguration; (c) significantly faster simulation runs (orders of magnitude faster for two and three-dimensional models); and (d) potentially more accurate results. The paper demonstrates the viability of the approach through a number of experiments with a model of a composite wall. The approach is shown to be able to sustain highly accurate longterm simulation runs, if the coarse-grain modeling elements are implemented as ANNs. In contrast, an implementation of the coarse-grain elements using a linear model is shown to function inaccurately and erratically. The paper concludes with an identification of on-going work and future areas for development of the technique.

The main advantages are the arrangement of the tasks of a project in a clear, easily readable form and the calculation of valuable information like critical paths. The main disadvantage on the other hand is the inflexibility of the model caused by the modeling paradigms. Small changes of the modeled information strongly influence the whole model and lead to the need to change many more details in the plan. In this article an approach is introduced allowing the creation of more flexible schedules. It aims towards a more robust model that lowers the need to change more than a few information while being able to calculate the important propositions of the known models and leading to further valuable conclusions.

The effects of the physical behaviours of reinforcing material, percentage of reinforcement, concrete strength and type of loading on tension stiffening as well as crack pattern, crack widths and crack spacing will also be examined. Analysis of the results from these experiments will determine whether statements regarding crack width calculation are transferable between reinforced concrete structures and GFRP reinforced concrete structures.

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.

It looks into the characteristic of the material, structural composing and collapse detecting to find out the main factors in the wood structure collapse in fire. The aim of the research is to provide an automatic simulation platform for the complicated circulation. A physically based model for slim member for beams and columns and a frame of multi-physical simulation are provided to implement the system. The physically based model contains material model, structural mechanics model, material mechanics model, as well as geometry model for the compositive simulation. The multi-physical simulation is built on the model and has the capacity to carry out a simulation combining structural, fire (thermal, CFD) and material degradation simulation. The structural and fire simulation rely on two sophisticated software respectively, ANSYS (an FEA software) and FDS (with a core of CFD). Researchers of the paper develop system by themselves to combine the two existing ones. The system has the capability to calculate the wood char to find out the loss of cross-section and to detect the collapse caused in different ways. The paper gives a sample of Chinese traditional house to show how this simulation system works.

A1 - Akinci, Burcu A1 - Wang, Hongjun T1 - Towards Domain-Oriented Semi-Automated Model Matching for Supporting Data Exchange N2 - The process of matching data represented in two different data models is a longstanding issue in the exchange of data between different software systems. While the traditional manual matching approach cannot meet today’s demands on data exchange, research shows that a fully automated generic approach for model matching is not likely, and generic semi-automated approaches are not easy to implement. In this paper, we present an approach that focuses on matching data models in a specific domain. The approach combines a basic model matching approach and a version matching approach to deduce new matching rules to enable data transfer between two evolving data models.

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.

Among existing lectures in the Internet there will arise a new competition between the universities in netbased teaching and learning environments. For the use of distributed sources of information and for the possibility to generate free configurable sequences of education modules you need management systems which are able to handle different formats of documents and to assemble it to consistent and valid lessons. Beside elementar viewing-functions, fusion of information also administrative tasks are needed, e.g. automated efficiency controls, adaptive learning surroundings. This paper attends to three aspects: - netbased teaching and learning in the area of the instruction of civil engineers - netbased information assembling and fusion of knowledge bases to higher level documents - netbased learning with international coordinated projects KW - Bautechnik KW - Computerunterstütztes Lernen KW - Wissensverarbeitung Y1 - 2004 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-918 ER -
