T1  - A Calculation of Initial Cable Force for Ko-Ha Grand Bridge
N2  - The primary objective of initial shape analysis of a cable stayed bridge is to calculate initial installation cable tension forces and to evaluate fabrication camber of main span and pylon providing the final longitudinal profile of the bridge at the end of construction. In addition, the initial cable forces depending on the alternation of the bridge’s shape can be obtained from the analysis, and will be used to provide construction safety during construction. In this research, we conducted numerical experiments for initial shape of Ko-ha bridge, which will be constructed in the near future, using three different typical methods such as continuous beam method, linear truss method, and IIMF (Introducing Initial Member Force) method

T1  - A Case Study of IFC and CIS/2 Support for Steel Supply Chain Processes
N2  - The evolution of data exchange and integration standards within the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry is gradually making the long-held vision of computer-integratedconstruction a reality. The Industry Foundations Classes and CIMSteel Integration Standards are two such standards that have seen remarkable successes over the past few years. Despite successes, these standards support the exchange of product data more than they do process data, especially those processes that are loosely coupled with product models. This paper reports on on-going research to evaluate the adequacy of the IFC and CIS/2 standards to support process modeling in the steel supply chain. Some initial recommendations are made regarding enhancements to the data standards to better support processes.

N2  - The synchronous distributed processing of common source code in the software development process is supported by well proven methods. The planning process has similarities with the software development process. However, there are no consistent and similarly successful methods for applications in construction projects. A new approach is proposed in this contribution.

T1  - A Development of the Building Kansei Information Retrieval System
N2  - The purpose of this research is to develop the method to retrieve a building name from the impression of the building. First, the images of the building are registered as database by the questionnaire. Next, the images of the objective building are compared with the degree of matching in image databases, and the building with high synthetic matching degree is retrieved. This system could get a good retrieval result. Moreover, image processing was done, and image databases are trained by neural network from the amount of characteristics of the image, and the retrieval system by image processing was examined.

T1  - A flexible model for scheduling building processes based on graph theory and fuzzy numbers
N2  - The methods currently used for scheduling building processes have some major advantages as well as disadvantages. 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.

T1  - A Four Layer Bayesian Network for Product Model Based Information Mining
N2  - Business and engineering knowledge in AEC/FM is captured mainly implicitly in project and corporate document repositories. Even with the increasing integration of model-based systems with project information spaces, a large percentage of the information exchange will further on rely on isolated and rather poorly structured text documents. In this paper we propose an approach enabling the use of product model data as a primary source of engineering knowledge to support information externalisation from relevant construction documents, to provide for domain-specific information retrieval, and to help in re-organising and re-contextualising documents in accordance to the user’s discipline-specific tasks and information needs. Suggested is a retrieval and mining framework combining methods for analysing text documents, filtering product models and reasoning on Bayesian networks to explicitly represent the content of text repositories in personalisable semantic content networks. We describe the proposed basic network that can be realised on short-term using minimal product model information as well as various extensions towards a full-fledged added value integration of document-based and model-based information.

T1  - A Framework for Computer-Aided Conceptual Design of Building Structures
N2  - This paper describes a framework for computer-aided conceptual design of building structures that results from building architectural considerations. 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  - A model adaptive and model reduction strategy combining system-theoretical methods and substructuring
N2  - This paper focuses on a new three-level discretisation strategy which enables the transition between continuum/structural (I) and structural/black box modelling (II). The transition (I) is realised by means of a model adaptive concept based on an innovative finite element technology. For transition (II) we apply the truncated balanced realisation method (TBR). The latter represents an established system theoretical model reduction technique which is here combined with a novel substructure technique. The approach provides a modular concept to facilitate the computational analysis of complex structures. The final goal is to apply the strategy to life time estimation.

T1  - A Multi-objective Model for Optimizing Construction Planning of Repetitive Infrastructure Projects
N2  - This paper presents the development of a model for optimizing resource utilization in repetitive infrastructure projects. The model provides the capability of simultaneous minimization of both project duration and work interruptions for construction crews. The model provides in a single run, a set of nondominated solutions that represent the tradeoff between these two objectives. 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.

T1  - A nouvelle approach for predicting the shear cracking angle in RC and PC beams using artificial neural networks
N2  - The truss model for predicting shear resistance of reinforced concrete beams has usually been criticized because of its underestimation of the concrete shear strength especially for beams with low shear reinforcement. Two challengers are commonly encountered in any truss model and are responsible for its inaccurate shear strength prediction. First: the cracking angle is usually assumed empirically and second the shear contribution of the arching action is usually neglected. This research introduces a nouvelle approach, by using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for accurately evaluating the shear cracking angle of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams. The model inputs include the beam geometry, concrete strength, the shear reinforcement ratio and the prestressing stress if any. ...

T1  - A Petri Net based Method for Distributed Process Modelling in Structural Engineering
N2  - The contribution introduces a method for the distributed process modelling in order to support the process orientation in Structural Engineering, i.e., the modelling, analysis and management of planning processes. 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.

T1  - A Prismatic Finite Element for Accurate Arch Dam Analysis
N2  - The displacements and stresses in arch dams and their abutments are frequently determined with 20-node brick elements. The elements are distorted near the contact plane between the wall and the abutment. A cantilever beam testbed has been developed to investigate the consequences of this distortion. It is shown that the deterioration of the accuracy in the computed stresses is significant. A compatible 18-node wedge element with linear stress variation is developed as an alternative to the brick element. The shape of this element type is readily adapted to the shape of the contact plane. It is shown that the accuracy of the computed stresses in the vicinity of the contact plane is improved significantly by the use of wedge elements.

T1  - A research about the automatic construction of Web/3D model house from 2D digital pictures
N2  - In recent years, the survey is performed for repair, such as a bridge and a building built in past, spending great expense. And it is anxious for the survey technique that doesn’t need cost and time more. Then, we made an idea of the technique of precise 3D model creation by 2D pictures. However, the technique of performing the improvement in accuracy of convergent photographing and automatic acquisition of corresponding points was not established. Therefore, in this research, we try to obtain a semi-automation of corresponding points acquisition from initial corresponding points and the improvement in accuracy of convergent photographing. Moreover, we applied the research to the used house of Japanese real estate, and the applicable field was selected as the high needs of the residence of 3D model. And we developed the system that everyone could create Web / 3D model house by VRML easily without requiring expensive apparatuses or expertise.

T1  - A simulation access language and framework for project management applications
N2  - As computer programs become ever more complex, software development has shifted from focusing on programming towards focusing on integration. This paper describes a simulation access language (SimAL) that can be used to access and compose software applications over the Internet. 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  - About the implantation process of mobile computing in AEC
N2  - The AEC industry is conscious of the potentials arising from the usage of mobile computer systems to increase productivity by streamlining their business processes. Discussions are no longer on whether or not to use a mobile computer solution, but rather, on how it should be used. However, the implantation process of this new technology in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and Facility Management (FM) practise is very slow and should be improved. One way to encourage and ease the usage of mobile computer systems in AEC is a more process-oriented usability and context appropriateness of mobile computer solutions. Context-sensitivity is defined as a crucial feature to be taken into account for further research in the area of Mobile Computing. Context-sensitive, mobile IT-solutions depend on two features: (1) flexible definitions of (construction) processes describing the context and (2) tools for flexible, multi-dimensional information management representing the context. It is on this premise that the authors propose the n-dimensional data management approach for the implementation of mobile computing solutions. In this paper, we analyse working scenarios in the AEC and FM sector, defining context aspects which are transformed and formalized as dimension hierarchies of the envisaged context model.

T1  - Abstract and Concrete Scenarios in Concurrent Engineering
N2  - An architecture of a distributed planning system for the building industry has been developed. The emphasis is on highly collaborative environments in steelwork, timber construction etc. where designers concurrently handle 3D models. The overall system connects local design systems by the so-called Design Framework DFW. This framework consists of the definition of distributed components and protocols which make the collaborative design work. The process of collaborative design has been formalized on an abstract level. This paper describes how this has been done. A sample is given to illustrate the mapping of concrete scenarios of the ‘real design world’ to an abstract scenario level. This work is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG as part of the project SPP1103 (Meißner et al. 2003).

T1  - Additional bending moment for shear-lag phenomenon in tube structures
N2  - Framed-tube system with multiple internal tubes is analysed using an orthotropic box beam analogy approach in which each tube is individually modelled by a box beam that accounts for the flexural and shear deformations, as well as the shear-lag effects. A simple numerical modeling technique is proposed for estimating the shear-lag phenomenon in tube structures with multiple internal tubes. The proposed method idealizes the framed-tube structures with multiple internal tubes as equivalent multiple tubes, each composed of four equivalent orthotropic plate panels. The numerical analysis is based on the minimum potential energy principle in conjunction with the variational approach. The shear-lag phenomenon of such structures is studied taking into account the additional bending moments in the tubes. A detailed work is carried out through the numerical analysis of the additional bending moment. The moment factor is further introduced to identify the shear lag phenomenon along with the additional moment.

T1  - AEC Global Teamwork: Emergent Work Processes
N2  - This ethnographic study reports on emerging work processes and practices observed in the AEC (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) Global Teamwork program, i.e., what people experience when interacting with and through collaboration technologies, why people practice in the way they do, how the practice fits into the environment and changes the work patterns. It presents the experience of two high-performance typical but extreme AEC teamwork cases adopting and adapting to collaboration technologies and how these technologies in practice impact their work processes. The findings illustrate the importance of collaboration technologies in cross-disciplinary, global teamwork. Observations indicate that high performance teams that use the collaboration technologies effectively exhibit collaboration readiness at an early stage and manage to define a “third way” to meet the demands of the cross-disciplinary, multi cultural and geographically distributed AEC workspace. The observations and implications represent the blueprint for yearly innovations and improvements to the design of the AEC Global Teamwork program.

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.

T1  - An Approach for Planning Sensor-Based Inspection of the Built Environment
N2  - The promise of lower costs for sensors that can be used for construction inspection means that inspectors will continue to have new choices to consider in creating inspection plans. However, these emerging inspection methods can require different activities, resources, and decisions such that it can be difficult to compare the emerging methods with other methods that satisfy the same inspection needs. Furthermore, the context in which inspection is performed can significantly influence how well certain inspection methods are suited for a given set of goals for inspection. Context information, such as weather, security, and the regulatory environment, can be used to understand what information about a component should be collected and how an inspection should be performed. The research described in this paper is aimed at developing an approach for comparing and selecting inspection plans. This approach consists of (1) refinement of given goals for inspection, if necessary, in order to address any additional information needs due to a given context and in order to reach a level of detail that can be addressed by an inspection activity; (2) development of constraints to describe how an inspection should be achieved; (3) matching of goals to available inspection methods, and generation of activities and resource plans in order to address the goals; and (4) selection of an inspection plan from among the possible plans that have been identified. The authors illustrate this approach with observations made at a local construction site.

T1  - An approach for promoting knowledge exchange on production practices through the Internet
N2  - Recent research shows that current learning strategies in construction industry have not been effective in implementing lean principles in construction. With that in mind the researchers set to investigate an alternative learning strategy in order to promote learning at the international level. A web-based environment, was developed for this project with the intent of promoting learning and knowledge exchange on the theory and practice of "process transparency" across different countries.

T1  - An Approach to Utilizing Exchanged Documents in Construction Projects Based on Data Warehouse Technology
N2  - There are many construction projects in China and mass documents are exchanged among the multi-party, including the owner, the contractor and the engineer in the projects. Based on previous studies, an approach to the utilization of the exchanged documents is established by using data warehouse technology and a prototype system called EXPLYZER is developed. The approach and the prototype system are verified through their application in a construction project. It is concluded that the approach can support the decision-making in project management.

T1  - An Empirical Study Relating Construction Firm Performance and IT Utilization
N2  - This paper examines the impact of information technology (IT) utilization on construction firm performance. Based on empirical data collected from 74 US construction firms, the analyses provide evidence that IT has a positive impact on overall firm performance, schedule performance, and cost performance. Firm performance is a composite score of several metrics of performance: schedule performance, cost performance, customer satisfaction, safety performance, and profit. No relationship is found between IT utilization and customer satisfaction, safety, or profit, although this may be due to limitations of the study given strong correlations between IT utilization and cost and schedule performnance. The empirical evidence of positive association between performance and IT use provided by this research is significant to both construction practice and research literature. This evidence should encourage firms to adopt and invest in IT tools.

T1  - An Information Infrastructure for Comparing Accessibility Regulations and Related Information from Multiple Sources
N2  - This paper describes a research project that addresses the difficulties in dealing with regulatory documents such as national and regional codes. These documents tend to be voluminous, heavily cross-referenced, possibly ambiguous and even conflicting at times. There are often multiple documents that need to be consulted and satisfied; however it is a difficult task to locate all of the relevant provisions. In addition, sections dealing with the same or similar conceptual ideas sometimes lay down conflicting requirements. We propose a framework for regulation representation, analysis and comparison with emphasis on the extraction of similarities between provisions. We focus on accessibility regulations, whose intent is to provide the same or equivalent access to a building and its facilities for disabled persons. An XML regulatory repository is developed to extract structural as well as non-structural features from government regulations to help user understanding and computational analysis. A similarity analysis is performed between different sources of regulations. In order to achieve a better comparison between provisions, we employ a combination of feature matching and structural analysis. Results are shown on comparisons between American and European codes, as well as on the domain of electronic-rulemaking.

T1  - Analysis of building structure and topology based on Graph Theory
N2  - Individual views on a building product of people involved in the design process imply different models for planning and calculation. In order to interpret these geometrical, topological and semantical data of a building model we identify a structural component graph, a graph of room faces, a room graph and a relational object graph as aids and we explain algorithms to derive these relations. The application of the technique presented is demonstrated by the analysis and discretization of a sample model in the scope of building energy simulation.

T1  - Application of a Agent Mechanism to the Small-scale Maintenance of School Buildings
N2  - This paper presents an agent-based software, Virtual Administrator System (VAS) for the smallscale maintenance of school buildings. 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.

T1  - Architektonische Grundlage für die Entwicklung von barrierefreien berufsbildenden Schulen für die Integration von Seh- und Mobilitätsbehinderten sowie nichtbehinderten Menschen in Vietnam
T1  - Architectural Standard for Accessibility of mobile and visually impaired students in vocational schools - Vietnam
N2  - Im Gegensatz zu Industrieländern wird das barrierefreie und behindertengerechte Planen und Bauen von öffentlichen Gebäuden in Entwicklungsländern aus wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Gründen nur ungenügend berücksichtigt und realisiert. Die Analyse von international vorhandenen Normen und Richtlinien zeigte, dass in Vietnam die Integration behindertengerechter Konzepte in Bauplanungen erst seit dem Jahr 2002 stattfindet, wohingegen diese in China bereits seit den 80er Jahren und in den Industrienationen wie Deutschland und Amerika sogar schon seit drei Jahrzehnten Anwendung findet. Die ungenügende Berücksichtigung behindertengerechter Baukonzepte in öffentlichen Einrichtungen, so auch vor allem in Berufsschulen bewirkt eine drastische Reduzierung des Ausbildungsplatzangebotes und eine resultierende Perspektivlosigkeit für behinderte Menschen. Durch die schnelle Errichtung barrierefreier, behindertengerechter Ausbildungseinrichtungen sollen sich die Chancen auf einen Ausbildungsplatz für behinderte Vietnamesen deutlich verbessern. Mit dem Erhalt eines Ausbildungsplatzes wird diesen Menschen nicht nur eine Integration in die Gesellschaft sondern langfristig gesehen auch finanzielle Selbständigkeit und somit Unabhängigkeit von der Familie ermöglicht. Als Grundlage des angestrebten Umwandlungsprozesses von der herkömmlichen barrierebelasteten Bauplanung zur Berücksichtigung von behinderten Menschen durch behindertengerechte Planungskonzepte wurden Bauzeit, Bauumfang und Baukosten eingehend analysiert. Dieser vergleichenden Betrachtung der Bauplanungen entwuchsen zwei neue barrierefreie Berufschultypen. Der neue Berufsschultyp 1 – Der Dezentralisierungstyp zeichnet sich durch einen geringfügigen Bauumfang und durch seine einfache Baukonstruktion aus und ermöglicht somit eine schnelle Reaktion auf den gravierenden Ausbildungsplatzmangel für behinderte Menschen. Dieser kostengünstige Berufsschultyp wurde entwickelt, um sehr kurzfristig eine schnelle Erhöhung des Ausbildungsplatzangebotes für behinderte Menschen zu schaffen. Siedlungs- und Wohngebiete bzw. Dörfer eignen sich am besten als Standort für den Berufsschultyp 1. Das ursprüngliche Wohnumfeld bliebe den behinderten Schülern erhalten und damit einhergehend auch die seelische Unterstützung durch deren Familien. Der familiennahe Standort der Berufsschule würde somit sowohl den Lehrern als auch den Schülern eine große seelische Last abnehmen. Des Weiteren ließe sich eine Berufsschule vom Typ 1 schnellstens errichten, so dass die Ausbildung der behinderten und nicht behinderten Schüler sofort aufgenommen werden könnte. Im Zuge der Entwicklung des neuen Berufsschultyps 2 – Dem Zentralisierungstyp - wurden internationale Standards angestrebt. Dieser Berufsschultyp bietet eine umfangreichere Flexibilität in seiner Nutzungsart, ein umfassenderes Angebot an Ausbildungsgängen und ein weitaus größeres Feld der Integration. Der Berufsschultyp 2 ist ein komplexer Bau, mit einem größeren Bauumfang als Berufsschultyp 1. Bei der Errichtung dieser Berufsschultypen ist mit einer langfristigen Planungs- und Bauzeit zu rechnen. Der Stadtrand wird als der optimale Standort zur Errichtung der Berufsschule vom Typ 2 angesehen. Von dort aus ließen sich die öffentlichen Service der Stadt effizient nutzen. Als Bewertungsgrundlage für eine optimale Entwicklung der beiden neuen Berufsschultypen dienen Basisdaten aus umfassenden Analysen über verschiedenste Betrachtungsebenen. Unter Nutzung der in Deutschland und USA bestehenden gesetzlichen Grundlagen sollen barrierefreie Planungsempfehlungen, gezielt für die Errichtung behindertengerechter berufsausbildender Schulen in Vietnam, abgleitet werden, um ein gemeinsames Lernen von seh- und mobilitätsbehinderten sowie von nicht behinderten Menschen zu ermöglichen. Bei den Planungsempfehlungen finden nicht nur die unterschiedlichen menschlichen Körpergrößen der verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen sondern auch die unterschiedliche Lebensweise der Vietnamesen sowie die Klimabedingungen in Vietnam Berücksichtigung. Bei der Planung von behindertengerechten Ausbildungs- und Schuleinrichtungen ist es wichtig, die Körpergröße der Menschen des jeweiligen Landes zu berücksichtigen. Als Orientierungsmaß für die Körpergröße vietnamesischer Menschen wurde ein Richtfaktor definiert und eingesetzt. Anhand der o.g. Richtfaktorgrößen wurden detaillierte Planungsempfehlungen für barrierefreies Lernen und Wohnen herausgearbeitet.
N2  - As Vietnam braces to deal with development pressures and economic issues the plight of the handicapped population remains largely unrecognized. A large segment (7%) of the population is devoid of any benefits from social policies that are seen in the West. One of the purposes of doing this thesis is to study this segment of the population, and develop an approach that is practical for Vietnam, to provide facilities for uplifting this disabled populace. I hope it acts as a guide or a framework for the planners in Vietnam for improving the potential of the disabled in the workforce. Throughout the body of work presented i have tried to compare and assess elements in Western conditions and Vietnam and have tried to draw conclusions on applicable and practical concepts that can be implemented in Vietnam.

T1  - Automated Simulation of the Erection Activities in Virtual Construction
N2  - The goal of the research is the development of a computer system to plan, simulate and visualize erection processes in construction. In the research construction cranes are treated as robots with predefined degrees of freedom and crane-specific motion planning techniques are developed to generate time-optimized and collision-free paths for each piece to be erected in the project. Using inverse kinematics and structural dynamics simulation, the computer system then computes the crane motions and velocities necessary to achieve the previously calculated paths. The main benefits of the research are the accurate planning and scheduling of crane operations leading to optimization of crane usage and project schedules, as well as improving overall crane safety in the project. This research is aimed at the development of systems that will allow computer-assisted erection of civil infrastructure and ultimately to achieve fully-automated erection processes using robotic cranes...

Open-source approaches mainly focus on distinctive, highly specialized traffic situations. In the scope of this paper, an open-source framework for developing modular, objectoriented simulation systems is presented, capable of simultaneously accommodating different driving models and enabling the user to modify and extend the catalogue of driving behaviours. The existing driving behaviours and the computational implementation of the simulation are being described.

T1  - Beitrag zur physikalisch nichtlinearen Analyse von Aussteifungssystemen mit Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung
T1  - Physically non-linear analysis of structural systems by methods of mathematical programming
N2  - Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit besteht in der Entwicklung einer Strategie zur physikalisch nichtlinearen Analyse von Aussteifungssystemen. 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.

T1  - Beitrag zur Standortidentifizierung mit Oberflächenwellen
T1  - Site identification using surface waves
N2  - In der Dissertation wurden unterschiedliche Methoden zur Standortidentifizierung mit Oberflächenwellen analysiert. Es wurden neue Methoden zur Parameteridentifikation unter Nutzung von Oberflächenwellen vorgeschlagen. Die Ziele der Arbeit können wie folgt definiert werden: a) Die Entwicklung eines geeigneten theoretischen Modells als Grundlage zur Untersuchung des Standortes hinsichtlich vorhandener Bodensteifigkeiten. b) Die Entwicklung einer neuen Inversionsmethodik unter Berücksichtigung aller auftretenden Moden im Oberflächenwellenfeld. Die Erstellung eines Modells des vertikal heterogenen Untergrundes erfolgte im Frequenz-bereichs für beliebig geschichtete Böden, aufbereitet durch weitestgehend analytische Formulierungen. Durch Nutzung beliebiger horizontaler, elastisch-isotroper Schichten konnte die vertikale Heterogenität approximiert werden. Die Definition der Green'schen Funktionen wurde in Form der Reflexions- und Transmissionskoeffizienten durchgeführt. Die Lösung des formulierten Halbraumproblems erfolgte unter Verwendung der Konturintegration. Dazu wurde die Vorgehensweise der bestehenden Lösung des homogenen Halbraums auf das Problem des geschichteten Mediums übertragen. Die daraus sich ergebende Lösung ist in ein Körperwellen- und ein Oberflächenwellenfeld separiert. Der Vorteil dieser analytischen Betrachtungsweise liegt in der eindeutigen Zuordnungsmöglichkeit der erhaltenen Lösungen zu Wellentypen und in der klaren Dispersionscharakteristik der berechneten Modelle. Im Gegensatz dazu liefern numerische Lösungen, wie FEM, immer ein Wellenfeld, in dem die Wellentypen zugeordnet bzw. interpretiert werden müssen. Mit Hilfe der synthetischen Bodenmodellierung wird das Verhalten von geschichteten Böden bei durchlaufenden Oberflächenwellenfeldern simuliert und untersucht. Für die Untersuchung der Profile wurde hauptsächlich die Modale Superposition von Oberflächenwellen und die Wellenzahl-Integration verwendet. Bei der Analyse von Oberflächenwellenfeldern in vorhandenen Medien sind abweichend von den üblichen seismischen Methoden spezielle Untersuchungsmethoden zur Ermittlung der vorhandenen Dispersion notwendig. Zur Durchführung der Dispersionsanalyse wird in geotechnischen Untersuchungen in der Regel das Phasen-Differenzen-Verfahren (SASW) genutzt. Aufgrund der beschränkten Aussagefähigkeit dieses Verfahrens zu auftretenden höheren Moden werden verbesserte Analysemethoden zur experimentellen Auswertung hinzugezogen. Diese Methoden nutzen zur Informationsgewinnung das räumlich ausgedehnte Wellenfeld. Ausgehend von dem Dispersionsverhalten kann die Bodenstruktur mittels inverser Methoden bestimmt werden. Für die gemeinsame Inversion der in den Messungen vorhandenen Moden wurde ein entsprechendes Inversionsverfahren abgeleitet. Als Grundlage der Inversion wurde ein Verfahren des kleinsten Fehlerquadrates gewählt. Der Vorteil hinsichtlich einer effizienten und stabilen Inversion unter Nutzung dieser Methodik überwiegt den Nachteil der lokalen Suche nach dem Fehlerminimum. Zum Erreichen der stabilen und zielgerichteten Inversion wird der Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithmus, zusammen mit der Wichtung der Dispersionsäste entsprechend ihres Anregungsverhaltens in den Dispersionsspektren, eingesetzt. Von Vorteil hat sich innerhalb der Arbeit die gleichzeitige Behandlung von theoretischen und experimentellen Parameterstudien erwiesen, da sich Ergebnisse und Erkenntnisse beider Seiten ergänzten. Eine Interpretation von Felddaten kann damit weitaus sicherer durchgeführt werden. Zusätzlich konnten die erarbeiteten experimentellen und theoretischen Verfahren gegenseitig überprüft werden.
N2  - In this thesis various available methods for the site identification with surface waves were analyzed. Some new methods are proposed for the site identification using surface wave characteristics. The objectives of the thesis are as follows: a) To develop an appropriate theoretical model that can work in conjunction with the results obtained from the site inverstigations to precisely identify the actual in situ stiffness profiles. b) To develop a new inversion procedure that enables to inverse all the appearing modes in a wave field. An appropriate model should be able to define the vertical heterogeniety of the subsoil. In this study, the existing solution for the homogeneous half space was extended to the stratified medium. An analytical formulation in the frequency domain was used for this purpose by considering arbitrary horizontal, elastic isotropic layers. The Green’s functions were defined in the matrix formulation in the form of reflection- and transmission coefficients. In this way the analytical considerations could be carried out in a strong mathematical procedure. The solution for the forced excited layered half space was obtained following the contour integration. The solution could be separated in to the body wave and the surface wave fields. The advantage of such an analytical approach lies in the definite allocation of the preserved solutions for wave types and the straight dispersion characteristic of the calculated models. The difference between the analytical and the numerical solutions, such as using FEM, is that the interpretation of the calculated wave field is not required in the former, whereas it is necessary in the latter case. With the help of an analytic wave field calculation the behavior of the propagate surface wave fields in the stratified media could be better simulated and examined. For the investigation of the stiffness profiles primarily the modal superposition by surface waves and the wave number-integration were used. Special surface wave field investigation methods were necessary for the determination of the available dispersion characterisic. For the realization of the dispersion analysis in geoengineering investigations the phase difference method (SASW) is a widely used tool. Since the information on the higher modes are limited, an improved method is proposed to separate the different modes from the experimental data. The proposed method used the spatially spread wave field for the dispersion information. The soil structure can be determined by using various inverse methods. For the joint inversion of all the available modes in the measurements, a suitable inversion procedure was derived. For the stabilization of the inversion procedure, a least square method was chosen. The disadvantage of this efficient method is a local minimum search of the objective function. To achieve a stable and focused inversion procedure the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used. The different dispersion branches multiplied by weighting factors corresponds to the excitation behavior in the dispersion spectra. One particularly advantage in the work is the concurrent treatment of theoretical and experimental parameter studies. According this treatment, the results and cognitions of both sides were complementary. An interpretation of field data could be carried out reliably. In addition, the compiled experimental and theoretical procedures could be checked mutually.

T1  - Beschreibung des Fließwiderstandes in der numerischen Berechnung von Gerinnen mit extremer relativer Rauheit
T1  - Description of flow resistance in numerical simulation of channels with extreme relative roughness
N2  - Die ein- und zweidimensionale numerische Berechnung der Fließvorgänge in offenen Gerinnen findet zunehmend auch Anwendung in der Modellierung immer komplexerer Prozesse im unter Anderem im Bereich der Ökosystemmodellierung in Gebirgs- und Mittelgebirgsbächen. In diesem Bereich existieren zurzeit noch Probleme hinsichtlich der hydraulischen Prognoserechnungen. Neben den numerischen Grundlagen werden die Abhängigkeiten des Strömungsfeldes von der Rauheitsstruktur der Sohle und der Überdeckungshöhe behandelt. Zur Untersuchung der Fließwiderstandsgleichungen wurden Laborversuche in einer Versuchsrinne durchgeführt. Es wird gezeigt, dass der üblicherweise verwendete Ansatz des mittleren Sohlgefälles bei der Berechnung der Sohlschubspannungsgeschwindigkeit u* in Stufen-Becken-Sequenzen nicht zulässig ist. Stattdessen ist es erforderlich, die lokalen Energieliniengefälle zu bestimmen und einzusetzen. Die Anwendung der aus der Literatur bekannten Ansätze zur Beschreibung des Fließwiderstandes führt zu keinen befriedigenden Ergebnissen und wird ausführlich diskutiert. In der Untersuchung der verschiedenen Fließwiderstandsbeziehungen zeigte sich, dass insbesondere die ungenügende Beschreibung der Rauheitstruktur der Sohloberfläche durch einen charakteristischen Korndurchmesser des Sohlmaterials als unzureichend anzusehen ist. Hinsichtlich der Beschreibung rauer Oberflächenstrukturen wurde ein einfacher Segmentierungsalgorithmus entwickelt, der es erlaubt, komplizierte Oberflächenstrukturen zu vereinfachen und über die Standardabweichung abschnittsweise Rauheiten zuzuweisen. Dieses Verfahren wird in einem zweidimensionalen hydraulischen Modell eingesetzt. Hierdurch wird für die Wassertiefenbestimmung als auch für die Fließgeschwindigkeitsbestimmung eine Berücksichtigung der speziellen topographischen Verhältnisse ermöglicht.
N2  - One- and two-dimensional numerical simulations of open-channel flows are more and more used for applications of constantly more complex processes among other things in the field of ecohydraulics in mountainous streams. Among the principles of numerical simulation the flow field and its interdependence of roughness elements as well as flow depth are treated. Investigations are made in a laboratory flume. It is shown, that the usually used approach of average bed slope in step-pool sequences is not admissible instead of local energy slope. The application of approaches known from literary are not leading to satisfying results. The investigation of different resistance equations showed in particular that insufficient describing of roughness structures of bed level only by characteristic grain size fails. Regarding description of roughness structures was developed an simple segmentation algorithm which allows to simplify complex roughness structures. They are transformed to segments of similar standard deviation. This algorithm is inserted in an two-dimensional flow model. Therefore calculation of water depth and flow velocity can be done regarding topographic situation, e.g. step-pool sequences.

T1  - Building a Better Future: Major Results from the ICCI Cluster Project
N2  - To support research in the building sector and in order to help it move towards a new digital economy, the European Commission under the 5th Framework initiative, especially the IST programme, funded various RTD projects. The opportunity to bring these IST projects together was acknowledged so that stronger links can be created under a clustering umbrella and that, moreover, links of those projects with their RTD environment could be facilitated. This has been the objective of work carried out within the ICCI (IST-2001-33022) Cluster project. This paper introduces the main aims and objectives of the project, and then presents its principal outcomes. In a second part, it synthesises the underlying concepts, technology and tools that will make ICT-based Construction a reality in a near future, and gives recommended actions for the industry, the EC and the Construction ICT R&D in Europe, giving some benefit of this project experience to the three communities.

T1  - Building Design towards 5-dimensions
N2  - There exists a big gap between the capabilities of current 3D-CAD applications and their actual usage in practice. Many architects and planners still prefer to draft in 2D because the benefits of 3D modeling are difficult to explain. This presentation offers a basis to view the 3D building model not merely as the source for 2D plan generation. By adding extra dimensions like Time and Cost to the 3D building model it becomes possible to generate dynamic information on building construction progress with regards to used material, resources and cost. These additional benefits are key elements to many planners and contractors and may therefore widen the acceptance of 3D building modeling in general.
