TY - JOUR A1 - Artus, Mathias A1 - Alabassy, Mohamed Said Helmy A1 - Koch, Christian T1 - A BIM Based Framework for Damage Segmentation, Modeling, and Visualization Using IFC JF - Applied Sciences N2 - Paper-based data acquisition and manual transfer between incompatible software or data formats during inspections of bridges, as done currently, are time-consuming, error-prone, cumbersome, and lead to information loss. A fully digitized workflow using open data formats would reduce data loss, efforts, and the costs of future inspections. On the one hand, existing studies proposed methods to automatize data acquisition and visualization for inspections. These studies lack an open standard to make the gathered data available for other processes. On the other hand, several studies discuss data structures for exchanging damage information among different stakeholders. However, those studies do not cover the process of automatic data acquisition and transfer. This study focuses on a framework that incorporates automatic damage data acquisition, transfer, and a damage information model for data exchange. This enables inspectors to use damage data for subsequent analyses and simulations. The proposed framework shows the potentials for a comprehensive damage information model and related (semi-)automatic data acquisition and processing.

However, for steel structures, a certain degree of plasticization depending on the member classification may be considered. Corresponding plastic analyses taking material nonlinearities into account are effectively realized using numerical methods. Frequently applied finite elements of two and three-dimensional models evaluate the plasticity at defined nodes using a yield surface, i.e. by a yield condition, hardening rule, and flow rule. Corresponding calculations are connected to a large numerical as well as time-consuming effort and they do not rely on the theoretical background of beam theory, to which the regulations of standards mainly correspond. For that reason, methods using beam elements (one-dimensional) combined with cross-sectional analyses are commonly applied for steel members in terms of plastic zones theories. In these approaches, plasticization is in general assessed by means of axial stress only. In this paper, more precise numerical representation of the combined stress states, i.e. axial and shear stresses, is presented and results of the proposed approach are validated and discussed.

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

Purely predictive material models are highly desirable to facilitate an optimized design scheme and to significantly reduce time and cost at the design stage, such as experimental characterization. The present study examined the role of three major tasks; a) single-objective optimization, b) sensitivity analyses and c) multi-objective optimization on proposed weave structures for woven fabric composites. For single-objective optimization task, the first goal is to optimize the elastic properties of proposed complex weave structure under unit cells basis based on periodic boundary conditions. We predict the geometric characteristics towards skewness of woven fabric composites via Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) and a parametric study. We also demonstrate the effect of complex weave structures on the fray tendency in woven fabric composites via tightness evaluation. We utilize a procedure which does not require a numerical averaging process for evaluating the elastic properties of woven fabric composites. The fray tendency and skewness of woven fabrics depends upon the behaviour of the floats which is related to the factor of weave. Results of this study may suggest a broader view for further research into the effects of complex weave structures or may provide an alternative to the fray and skewness problems of current weave structure in woven fabric composites. A comprehensive study is developed on the complex weave structure model which adopts the dry woven fabric of the most potential pattern in singleobjective optimization incorporating the uncertainties parameters of woven fabric composites. The comprehensive study covers the regression-based and variance-based sensitivity analyses. The second task goal is to introduce the fabric uncertainties parameters and elaborate how they can be incorporated into finite element models on macroscopic material parameters such as elastic modulus and shear modulus of dry woven fabric subjected to uni-axial and biaxial deformations. Significant correlations in the study, would indicate the need for a thorough investigation of woven fabric composites under uncertainties parameters. The study describes here could serve as an alternative to identify effective material properties without prolonged time consumption and expensive experimental tests. The last part focuses on a hierarchical stochastic multi-scale optimization approach (fine-scale and coarse-scale optimizations) under geometrical uncertainties parameters for hybrid composites considering complex weave structure. The fine-scale optimization is to determine the best lamina pattern that maximizes its macroscopic elastic properties, conducted by EA under the following uncertain mesoscopic parameters: yarn spacing, yarn height, yarn width and misalignment of yarn angle. The coarse-scale optimization has been carried out to optimize the stacking sequences of symmetric hybrid laminated composite plate with uncertain mesoscopic parameters by employing the Ant Colony Algorithm (ACO). The objective functions of the coarse-scale optimization are to minimize the cost (C) and weight (W) of the hybrid laminated composite plate considering the fundamental frequency and the buckling load factor as the design constraints. Based on the uncertainty criteria of the design parameters, the appropriate variation required for the structural design standards can be evaluated using the reliability tool, and then an optimized design decision in consideration of cost can be subsequently determined.

Amongst others, it can be used to improve the acoustic design of automobiles in an early development stage. Nowadays, the acoustics of automobiles plays a crucial role in the process of vehicle development. Because of the advanced demand of comfort and due to statutory rules the manufacturers are faced with the challenge of optimizing their car’s sound emissions. The optimization includes not only the reduction of noises. Lately with the trend to hybrid and electric cars, it has been shown that vehicles can become too quiet. Thus, the prediction of structural and acoustic properties based on FE-simulations is becoming increasingly important before any experimental prototype is examined. With the state of the art, qualitative comparisons between different implementations are possible. However, an accurate and reliable quantitative prediction is still a challenge. One aspect in the context of increasing the prediction quality of acoustic (or general oscillating) problems - especially in power-trains of automobiles - is the more accurate implementation of damping in joint structures. While material damping occurs globally and homogenous in a structural system, the damping due to joints is a very local problem, since energy is especially dissipated in the vicinity of joints. This paper focusses on experimental and numerical studies performed on a single (extracted) screw connection. Starting with experimental studies that are used to identify the underlying physical model of the energy loss, the locally influencing parameters (e.g. the damping factor) should be identified. In contrast to similar research projects, the approach tends to a more local consideration within the joint interface. Tangential stiffness and energy loss within the interface are spatially distributed and interactions between the influencing parameters are regarded. As a result, the damping matrix is no longer proportional to mass or stiffness matrix, since it is composed of the global material damping and the local joint damping. With this new approach, the prediction quality can be increased, since the local distribution of the physical parameters within the joint interface corresponds much closer to the reality.

Die entsprechenden Energiegrößen werden durch Hystereseflächen der Spannungs-Dehnungslinien beschrieben. In der Literatur finden sich dabei unterschiedliche Ansätze, wofür diese Energie verwendet wird. Erste Untersuchungen zeigen, dass zumindest ein Teil dieser dissipierten Energie in thermische Energie umgewandelt wird. Mithilfe der in diesem Beitrag beschriebenen Methodik lassen sich diese Energiegrößen für jeden Lastwechsel eines Ermüdungsversuches schnell und zuverlässig bestimmen. Anschließend wurden mit dem implementierten Algorithmus die dissipierten Energien von insgesamt 27 zyklischen Versuchen ausgewertet. Analog zu der Dehnungsentwicklung und der Steifigkeitsdegradation weisen auch die Verläufe der dissipierten Energie über die Lastwechselzahl einen dreiphasigen Verlauf auf. Die Auswertung zeigt außerdem eine Korrelation zwischen der Bruchlastwechselzahl und der dissipierten Energie. Auch der Zusammenhang zwischen Probekörpererwärmung und dissipierter Energie konnte bestätigt werden.

The scope of this study is the utilization of silicone-coated steel balls in concrete as damping aggregates to suppress the resonance vibration. The heavy steel cores oscillate with a frequency close to the resonance frequency of the structure. Due to the phase difference between the vibrations of the cores and the structure, the cores counteract the vibration of the structure. The core-coating inclusions are randomly distributed in concrete similar to standard aggregates. This mixture is referred to as metaconcrete. The main goal of this work is to validate the ability of the inclusions to suppress mechanical vibration through laboratory experiments. For this purpose, two small-scale metaconcrete beams were cast and tested. In a free vibration test, the metaconcrete beams exhibited a larger damping ratio compared to a similar beam cast from conventional concrete. The vibration amplitudes of the metaconcrete beams at resonance were measured with a frequency sweep test. In comparison with the conventional concrete beam, both metaconcrete beams demonstrated smaller vibration amplitudes. Both experiments verified an improvement in the dynamic response of the metaconcrete beams at resonance vibration.

There currently exists in many urban areas a large number of structures, which are prone to damage by earthquakes. These were constructed without the guidance of a national seismic code, either before it existed or before it was enforced. For instance, in Istanbul, Turkey, as a high seismic area, around 90% of buildings are substandard, which can be generalized into other earthquakeprone regions in Turkey. The reliability of this building stock resulting from earthquake-induced collapse is currently uncertain. Nonetheless, it is also not feasible to perform a detailed seismic vulnerability analysis on each building as a solution to the scenario, as it will be too complicated and expensive. This indicates the necessity of a reliable, rapid, and computationally easy method for seismic vulnerability assessment, commonly known as Rapid Visual Screening (RVS). In RVS methodology, an observational survey of buildings is performed, and according to the data collected during the visual inspection, a structural score is calculated without performing any structural calculations to determine the expected damage of a building and whether the building needs detailed assessment. Although this method might save time and resources due to the subjective/qualitative judgments of experts who performed the inspection, the evaluation process is dominated by vagueness and uncertainties, where the vagueness can be handled adequately through the fuzzy set theory but do not cover all sort of uncertainties due to its crisp membership functions. In this study, a novel method of rapid visual hazard safety assessment of buildings against earthquake is introduced in which an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (IT2FLS) is used to cover uncertainties. In addition, the proposed method provides the possibility to evaluate the earthquake risk of the building by considering factors related to the building importance and exposure. A smartphone app prototype of the method has been introduced. For validation of the proposed method, two case studies have been selected, and the result of the analysis presents the robust efficiency of the proposed method.

Jahrhundert entwickelt und optimiert wurden, erlangen aktuell aus konstruktionshistorischer Sicht, aber auch aus ökonomischer Sicht erneut Interesse. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick angefangen von den ersten Konstruktionen Ende der 1920er Jahre bis hin zu Typenbindern der DDR, die noch bis 1990 über Landwirtschaftsbauten errichtet wurden und heute oft als Tragkonstruktionen für Photovoltaikanlagen weiterverwendet werden. Der Fokus liegt auf der chronologischen Vorstellung ausgewählter Konstruktionsweisen für Hallen- und Hausdächer unterschieden nach Fachwerk- und Vollwandbindern. Sowohl die verantwortlichen Ingenieure und deren Herkunft, sowie wesentliche Anwendungsfelder und Beispielbauten kommen in der Überblicksdarstellung zur Sprache. Eine wesentliche Erkenntnis ist die im Betrachtungszeitraum 1930 bis 1990 zu verzeichnende Reduzierung einer Vielzahl genagelter Spar- hin zu Typenkonstruktionen, die im wesentlichen äußerst materialeffiziente Fachwerkbinder für Satteldächer hervorbrachte. N2 - Material-saving wooden constructions, which were developed and optimized in particular during the war and post-war period in the 20th century, are currently attracting renewed interest from the point of view of construction history, but also from an economic point of view. The article gives an overview starting with the first constructions at the end of the 1920s up to the type trusses of the GDR, which were built over agricultural buildings until 1990 and are often used today as supporting structures for photovoltaic systems and are therefore experiencing a renaissance. The focus of the article is on the chronological presentation of selected construction methods for hall and house roofs, differentiated between timbered and solid wall trusses. Both the responsible engineers and their origin, as well as essential fields of application and example buildings are discussed in the overview. A significant finding is the reduction in the period from 1930 to 1990 from a large number of nailed savings to type constructions, which essentially produced extremely material-efficient timber trusses for gable roofs.
