Current building product models explicitly represent components, attributes of components, and relationships between components. These designer-focused product models, however, do not represent many of the design conditions that are important for construction, such as component similarity, uniformity, and penetrations. Current design and construction tools offer limited support for detecting these construction-specific design conditions. This paper describes the ontology we developed using the manufacturing concept of features to represent the design conditions that are important for construction. The feature ontology provides the blueprint for the additions and changes needed to transform a standard product model into a constructionspecific product model. The ontology formalizes three classes of features, defines the attributes and functions of each feature type, and represents the relationships between features explicitly. The descriptive semantics of the ontology allows practitioners to represent their varied preferences for naming features, specifying features that result from component intersections and the similarity of components, and grouping features that affect a specific construction domain. A software prototype that implements the ontology enables practitioners to transform designer-focused product models into feature-based product models that represent the construction perspective.
The method of the finite elements is an adaptable numerical procedure for interpolation as well as for the numerical approximation of solutions of partial differential equations. The basis of these procedure is the formulation of suitable finite elements and element decompositions of the solution space. Classical finite elements are based on triangles or quadrangles in the two-dimensional space and tetrahedron or hexahedron in the threedimensional space. The use of arbitrary-dimensional convex and non-convex polyhedrons as the geometrical basis of finite elements increases the flexibility of generating finite element decompositions substantially and is sometimes the only way to get a clear decomposition...
Objektorientierte Modellierungstechniken werden gegenwärtig vor allem Entwicklern von CAD-Systemen angeboten. Sie erzeugen über die Schritte OO-Modellanalyse und OO-Softwaredesign OO-Programme, die mit ihrer Compilation das durch den Softwareingenieur gefundene Modell festschreiben. Generell, aber insbesondere im Bauwerksdesign, ist dieses Vorgehen unbefriedigend, da hier eine Normung von Modellen nicht gelingt, der Entwurfsprozeß vergleichsweise lang ist und eine Kooperation von Ingenieurgewerken mit verschiedenen Modelldomänen die Regel sind. Darüber hinaus weisen die Modelle in frühen Phasen ein hohes Maß an Unschärfe und Abstraktion auf. CAD-Tools, die diese Phasen unterstützen, benötigen deshalb: statt eines genormten Produktmodells ein einheitliches, kognitiv begründetes Modellstrukturierungsparadigma, für das mit der Objektorientierung eine mögliche Ausprägung gegeben ist, ein explizites, verfügbares Domänenmodell zur fortwährenden Interpretation von Bauwerksmodellen, deskriptive Elemente, die die Interpretation von Objekten und Attributen erleichtern, ein Konzept zur Behandlung von Unschärfe und Abstraktion. Hieraus ergeben sich für die Entwicklung von CAD-Systemen folgende Forderungen : Explizite Verfügbarkeit von Klassenobjekten und deren Erzeugung und Veränderung zur Laufzeit, Vererbung auf Klassen- und Instanzniveau, Erweiterte Attributkonzepte (Facetten), Unterstützung der Aggregation als einer wesentlichen Modellstrukturierungsrelation, Verfügbarkeit von OO-Schnittstellen zum Aufbau von CAD-Systemen aus Tools einerseits, sowie zur Trennung von Modellverwaltung und Modellrepräsentation andererseits. Als ein herausragendes Merkmal des Objektorientierten Paradigmas wird die Anwendungsnähe genannt, da Erscheinungen der behandelten Domäne sich analog in Modellen und Programmen wiederfinden (sollen). Unter der Grundannahme, daß dieses Paradigma auch durch den Anwender zur Erstellung seiner Modellwelten verwendet wird, will FLEXOB eine homogene Umgebung schaffen, die die Modellwelt des Softwareingenieurs zu Analysezwecken dem Anwender zur Verfügung stellt und die die Erweiterung dieser Modellwelt auf deskriptivem Niveau ermöglicht. Das Tool FLEXOB und einige wesentliche Implementationsdetails werden im Beitrag vorgestellt. Es handelt sich bei diesem Tools um eine C++ Klassenbibliothek, die entweder als Objektmodul oder als Windows-DLL verwendet werden kann. Aspekte des Nutzungsregimes solch flexibler Modellverwaltungen werden im Beitrag ebenfalls angespochen.
The idea of representing urban structure and various communication systems (water and energy supply, telephone and cable TV networks) as fractal objects is not absolutely new. However, known works, devoted to this problem use models and approaches from fractal physics. For example, to simulate urban growth Diffusion Limited Aggregation (DLA) model and Dielectric Breakdown (DB) model are used. This study introduces a different approach. Net structure of communication system is described by a graph of special type called regular G(l,r,n)-graph. Authors provide description of such graph, develop iterative process for its generation and prove its self-similarity, i.e. that every regular graph is a pre-fractal. After the infinite number of steps this process generates a fractal. The devised algorithm for generation and grathical representation of regular G(l,r,n)-graphs with different values of l,r and n has been programmed to receive computer simulations. For optimal graphic presentation of pre-fractals the Optimal Space Ordering method was suggested. It is based on the minimization of the >graph energy< value about vertices' coordinates. The effective procedure for optimization was developed that takes into account specific properties of graph energy as objective function For the fractal graph introduced the Hausdorff-Besikovich and similarity dimensions were calculated. It has been shown that >graph energy< is directly related to the graph's fractal properties. For G(3,3,n) and G(4,4,n) graphs fractal dimensions calculated by different methods are the same (D=1,5 and D=2 respectively), while topological dimension of both graphs is 1.
Many problems related to data integration in AEC can be better tackled by an approach that takes into account the heterogeneity of tasks, models and applications but does not require continuous consistency of the evolving design data, at each data management operation. Such an approach must incorporate adequate services that can facilitate reintegration of concurrently modified data at reasonably selected coordination points. In this paper we present a set of methods which, used in combination, can achieve that goal. After a description of the principal envisaged cooperative work scenario each of these methods is discussed in detail and current observations drawn from their software realisation are given. Whilst the suggested approach is valid for any EXPRESS-based data model, the practical focus of work has been on facilitating IFC-driven integration.
Der Effekt des praktischen Einsatzes von CAD-Systemen im Stahlbau erschöpft sich heute weitgehend in einer Verbesserung der Qualität der Planungsunterlagen und in der Verkürzung der Bearbeitungszeiten. Dabei ist bei schwierigen individuellen Konstruktionen die Einsparung an Arbeitszeit oft nicht sehr markant gegenüber einer traditionellen Arbeitsweise. Die dreidimensionale Erfassung, Speicherung und Verarbeitung von Konstruktionsdaten im Rechner verlangt neben größeren Rechenleistungen neue Verfahren für die Behandlung dieser Daten. Die Möglichkeiten der Automatisierung stahlbautypischer Produktionsvorgänge und einer variablen, computergestützten Planung erfordern wissenschaftlich-technische Betrachtungen des Gesamtproblems. Ausgehend von den Anforderungen des Stahlbaus wird ein neues dreidimensionales Volumenmodell für den rechnergestützten Entwurf und die Konstruktion erarbeitet. Es werden grundlegende Methoden zur Problembehandlung aufgezeigt. Die Methodik basiert im wesentlichen auf der Methode der Inzidenz-Matrizen, um die Beziehungen zwischen topologischen und geometrischen Informationen eines Körpers darzustellen. Die Ermittlung der lokalen Mannigfaltigkeiten wird mit dem Euler-Polyedersatz verglichen und an Beispielen demonstriert. Eine neue Methode zur Ermittlung der lokalen Mannigfaltigkeiten wird dargestellt. Stahlbauspezifische Konstruktionen werden erzeugt und ihre Gestalt nach Anforderungen verändert. Im besonderen werden stahlbauspezifische Ausklinkungen und Verschneidungen erarbeitet und an Beispielen präsentiert.
Priority-rule methods for approximately minimizing the duration of a project subject to minimal and maximal time lags between the activities of the project and limited availability of renewable resources are considered. Such a project can be modelled by a cyclic activity-on-node network. Two generation schemes for constructing feasible schedules are discussed: the serial and parallel schemes. Two different kinds of heuristic procedures are proposed. The sequential or direct method processes the activities or respectively nodes of the project network one after another without considering the strong components separately. The contraction method uses a bottom-up technique. First, a feasible subschedule is determined for each strong component. Second, each strong component is replaced by a single node and the resulting acyclic network is treated by the direct method. In conclusion, some results from an experimental performance analysis of the heuristics are given using a new network generator.
The highway product model based on the length information of the centerline, and the application system is developed. This paper shows the schema and the modeling process of the product model, which includes geometric elements such as an alignment, lanes, sidewalks, shoulders and sprits, and accessories such as guard fences, plantings and signs. Furthermore, The Highway Sequence Editor (HSE) is developed as an application system to verify the model.
In this research project we intend to transfer the whole AEC-Bidding process to an agent-based virtual marketplace. Hereby, the existing legal regulations have to be considered. Important aspects in developing the virtual marketplace are to provide the possibility to realize an agentbased bidding consortium as well as to integrate subcontractors.
We provide a critical overview of the current status of computational support for construction the management and building performance evaluation in North-America. This overview is based on the research conducted in relation to the design and construction of the Intelligent Workplace (IW), Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. With regard to the commercial software products in the field of construction management the following limitations can be identified: Although project planning, cost estimating and construction simulation are supported, tasks like bidding as well as site and material management have not received the same level of attention. Few project management software packages are integrated in a total design support software system. Little analysis or evaluation options are provided to support managerial decision making. Various research groups address the construction planning and scheduling, construction contracting, site layout generation as well as the integration of these three topics. Currently problems such as efficient material management and calculation of environmental and energy responsive site management are insufficiently addressed within the ongoing research projects. In the domain of building performance simulation and decision support one can notice that, the development and application of computational tools is industry driven. As a result the concerns addressed by the tools are mainly issues pertaining to the selection and sizing of systems and components rather than an integrated performance evaluation. Consequently, these programs are rarely used by building designers, especially in the early design stages, where the predictive capabilities of simulation tools could be of significant value. Although many research institutions address the necessity for the integration of performance simulation within the overall design support environments most of the practically available performance simulation tools still remain mono-dimensional and isolated.
Informationstechnische Integration im Bauwesen durch Nutzung fachspezifischen Anwenderwissens
(1997)
Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein Integrationskonzept vorgestellt, bei dem das fachspezifische Wissen des Anwenders integraler Bestandteil des Konzeptes ist. Grundgedanke des Konzeptes ist es, die Informationen vorerst im Kontext der Anwendung, mit der sie erstellt wurden, zu belassen. Die Interpretation der Informationen erfolgt durch den Anwender, der diese Informationen zur Integration nutzen möchte. Er weiß, welche Daten er für seine Arbeiten benötigt, und er verfügt über das erforderliche fachspezifische Wissen, um die Informationen anderer Bearbeiter verstehen zu können. Damit ist es nicht erforderlich, die internen Datenstrukturen einer Software zu verstehen und in einem neutralen Format zu beschreiben. Die Integration erfolgt interaktiv am Bildschirm durch den Anwender. Das vorgestellt Konzept wird in den Kontext der in der Literatur beschriebenen Integrationskonzepte eingegliedert. Hierzu werden die Integrationskonzepte klassifiziert. Die Klassifikation erfolgt auf der Grundlage der Software-Architekturen. Das vorgestellte Integrationskonzept wird am Beispiel der Angebotsbearbeitung im Bauwesen konkretisiert.
Buildings require both for construction and, due to their comparatively long life cycle for maintenance, significant raw material and energy resources. So far available knowledge about resource consumption during an entire life cycle of a building is still quite rare, because various criteria affect each other and/or overlay mutually. In this contribution a model based software concept is presented using an integrated approach for life cycle simulation and assessment of buildings. The essential point of the development consists of connecting an IFC compliant product model of a building via the Internet with data bases for the resource and energy requirement of building materials. Furthermore, numerical simulations allow calculating and minimizing the energy consumption, the resource requirement, the waste streams and also the noxious emissions. In the context of this paper we present the first release of software programs for architects and engineers, which help them to evaluate their design decisions objectively in early planning steps. Additionally the usage of the software is demonstrated by a test case study for a real world building. By applying this software in practice a substantial contribution for saving energy and natural resources can be provided in the sense of sustainable and ecological building design.
Unterschiedliche Sichten auf einen Anwendungsbereich drücken sich in unterschiedlich strukturierten Modellen aus. Diese Modelle enthalten im allgemeinen unterschiedliche Arten von Informationen über Objekte ihres Anwendungsbereiches. In diesem Beitrag soll ein Konzept zur Modellintegration beschrieben werden, das die Zusammenführung dieser Informationen gestattet. Im Gegensatz zu traditionellen Methoden des Datenaustauschs, bei dem Objekte des einen Modells in Objekte des anderen Modells konvertiert werden, beruht das Integrationskonzept auf dem Erkennen und dem Verbinden einander äquivalenter Objekte in den Modellen. Als Grundlage zur Beschreibung der Modellschemata wurde die in der ISO 10303-11 spezifizierte konzeptuelle Sprache EXPRESS benutzt. Der Objektzugriff wird durch ein Laufzeitsystem realisiert, das auf der Basis des Standard Data Acces Interface (SDAI ISO 10303-22) entwickelt wurde. Die Modellintegration umfaßt zwei Teilbereiche. Zum einen muß ein Abgleich der verschiedenen Schemata (Schema mapping) erfolgen. Zum anderen müssen Regeln zur Objektidentifikation (Object matching) beschrieben werden. Zur Angabe dieser Integrationsinformationen wurden Strukturen entwickelt. Die in diesen Strukturen abgelegten Beziehungen werden durch das Laufzeitsystem ausgewertet. Durch diese Vorgehensweise lassen sich zum einen alle verfügbaren Informationen über Objekte des Anwendungsbereiches zusammenführen, so daß sie im Gesamtkontext sichtbar werden und bearbeitet werden können. Zum anderen können Inkonsistenzen zwischen den Modellen erkannt und ausgewertet werden.
Bauwerke werden heute mit umfassender Systematik Bauwerke werden heute mit umfassender Systematik die Brauchbarkeit der Bauwerke werden durch Normung und Prüfung intensiv beeinflußt. Der Computereinsatz ist in diesem Bereich allgemein üblich. Im Gegensatz zu Planungs- und Ausführungsphase eines Bauwerks ist die Betriebsphase wenig systematisiert. Dies ist überraschend, da die Betriebsphase über die Lebensdauer eines Bauwerks hinweg wesentlich größere Kosten verursacht, als der Rohbau und da der Nutzen des Bauwerks ja nicht in seiner Errichtung sondern in seinem Betrieb liegt. Die mangelnde Systematik der Bewirtschaftung ist beispielsweise daran ersichtlich, daß es im allgemeinen noch keine brauchbare Dokumentation der Gebäudebewirtschaftung, wenige Normen und wenig Software für diesen Aufgabenbereich gibt.
The processes in the life cycle of buildings are characterised by highly distinct teamwork. The integration of all the distributed working participants, by providing an environment, which especially supports the communication and collaboration between the actors, is a fundamental step to improve the efficiency of the involved processes and to reduce the total costs. In this article, a link based modelling approach and its “intelligent” link management is introduced (1). This approach realises an integration environment based on a special building model that acts as a decision support system. The link-based modelling is characterised by the definition and specialisation of links between partial models. These intelligent managed links enable a very flexible and task specific data access and exchange between all the different views and partial models of the participants.
In our project, we develop new tools for the conceptual design phase. During conceptual design, the coarse functionality and organization of a building is more important than a detailed worked out construction. We identify two roles, first the knowledge engineer who is responsible for knowledge definition and maintenance; second the architect who elaborates the conceptual design. The tool for the knowledge engineer is based on graph technology, it is specified using PROGRES and the UPGRADE framework. The tools for the architect are integrated to the industrial CAD tool ArchiCAD. Consistency between knowledge and conceptual design is ensured by the constraint checker, another extension to ArchiCAD.
Essence of service unreliability on account of irregularity has been given. The reasons of occurance of overcrowded vehicles have been listed. The factor of service unreliability on account of irregularity has been determined. It is probability of the event, that the passenger finds departing vehicle fully filled, i.e. when all places seating and standing are occupied or condition of the travel, which would be not acceptable for passenger. Large dispersion of headways (i.e. irregularity) increases probability of such situations. To calculate the mentioned factor, the computer simulation was used. Both, passenger arrivals and vehicle operation have been modelled as stochastic interacted processes. Distributions of headways and passenger arrivals have been fixed by statistical methods. The >maximal capacity< of a vehicle has been determined. The set of parameters values for simulation runs has been given. The transformed results of computer simulation are series of nomographs for determination of a factor value. They were prepared for many types of trams and city buses, but only one nomograph has been presented. Difficulties in verification of model were discussed. Recommendations for rational utilisation level of public transport means capacity in the condition of randomness of passenger arrivals and disturbances in vehicle operation have been proposed. The other possibilities of service unreliability have been mentioned. General conclusions have been given
Today’s building industry not only demands more and more reduced construction time on building site, but also an advanced and mostly construction attendant design phase. Even though there is software available to support design processes in distributed environments, most applications only support simple document based exchange of information. In this paper a knowledge based system is presented to support cooperative, comprehensive design processes in distributed environments. The presented research project is financially supported by the German Research Community (DFG – Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft).
Effective knowledge management is increasingly considered as a cornerstone of sustainable business success. Knowledge management systems are strategically valuable for both ensuring consistency and continuous improvement of various aspects such as quality delivery, productivity and competitiveness. The small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry are mostly operating under tighter timeframes, narrower profit margins and more constrained resources. Hence the recently commenced SMILE-SMC (Strategic Management with Information Leveraged Excellece for Small and Medium Contractors) project aims to support the information and knowledge management needs of the small and medium contractors in Hong Kong. This paper presents some snapshots on the SMILE-SMC project, and its conceptualized deliverables with some highlights of recent developments.
A large-scale computer modeling and simulation method is presented for environmental flows in urban area. Several GIS and CAD data were used for the preparation of shape model and an automatic mesh generation method based on Delaunay method was developed. Parallel finite element method based on domain decomposition method was employed for the numerical simulation of natural phenomena. The present method was applied to the simulation of flood flow and wind flow in urban area. The present method is shown to be a useful planning and design tool for the natural disasters and the change of environments.
The influence of vortex-induces vibrations on vertical tie rods has been proved as a determinant load factor in the lifetime-oriented dimensioning of arched steel bridges. 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.
Model of stressed-strained State of Multilayer Masses with regard for Non-Ideal Contact of Layers
(1997)
Thus, mathematical model stressed- strained of a condition of layered masses is constructed. The model has high accuracy. It allows to simulate slippery contact of layers without friction. Thus not the order of permitting system of the equations is increased, and at its realization the method of fenite elements does not increase quantity of required degrees freedom. The differential operators included in system the equations are similar known in the classical theory of shells. It facilitates construction of a finite element. Presence in system of the differential equations of derivative of external forces allows to use her for the decision of contact problems with a stain of contact commensurable with thickness of a masses.
Modeling of Freeway Traffic

An integrated modeling of freeway traffic is developed, whose implementation in an uniform computer –aided simulation model facilitate comparative evaluation and systematic coupling of several traffic simulations, traffic controls, traffic measurements and traffic scenarios. The integrated modeling of freeway traffic is a basic mapping of freeway networks, control methods, measurements and different simulations of traffic flow...

Die Kosten für die Unterhaltung von Bauwerken über den Lebenszyklus sind im Vergleich zu den Planungs- und Herstellungskosten erheblich größer. Insbesondere setzt eine Reduzierung des Instandhaltungsaufwandes als Teilprozeß der Bestandsverwaltung das rechtzeitige Erkennen von Bauschäden und das vorausschauende Ergreifen von Gegenmaßnahmen voraus. Das planmäßige Vorgehen beim Erkennen von Bauschäden, d.h. die regelmäßige Überwachung baulicher Anlagen, dient nicht nur dem sparsamen Umgang mit vorhandenen Mitteln, sondern verringert auch die Gefahr des plötzlichen Versagens von tragenden Bauteilen. Dadurch werden Gefahren für die Nutzer der Bauwerke frühzeitig abgewendet. Die Notwendigkeit der systematischen Instandhaltung mit modernen Methoden wird auch in den Schlußfolgerungen des dritten Bauschadensberichts des Bundesministeriums für Raumordnung, Bauwesen und Städtebau unterstrichen. Um den Zustand eines Bauteils festzustellen, werden ausreichende Informationen über Struktur, Material, Alter, Belastungen, Umweltbedingungen etc. benötigt. Zur Verarbeitung dieser Fülle von Informationen unterschiedlichen Typs (z.B. technische Dokumente, CAD-Zeichnungen, Photos etc.) bei der Überwachung und Dokumentation baulicher Anlagen ist eine geeignete DV-Unterstützung notwendig. Zur Verwaltung der komplexen Baustrukturinformationen werden objektorientierte Bauwerksmodelle benötigt. Zur bedarfsgerechten Aufbereitung der unterschiedlichen Informationsarten und -qualitäten ist zusätzlich eine multimediale Informationsverarbeitung sowohl intern als auch in der Benutzungsschnittstelle erforderlich. Im Beitrag werden die Grundlagen objektorientierter Methoden zur Bauwerksmodellierung sowie von Multimedia mit den Bereichen Text, Graphik (Vektor- und Pixelgraphik), Audio, Photo und Video einschließlich deren Verknüpfungsmöglichkeiten im Sinne von Hypermedia an Beispielen erläutert. Zusätzlich werden aktuelle Entwicklungstendenzen im Bereich der Telekommunikation mit den Möglichkeiten des Computernetzes INTERNET zur Bestandsverwaltung in verteilten Systemen aufgezeigt. Abschließend werden Anwendungen der objektorientierten und multimedialen Informationsverarbeitung in der täglichen Ingenieurpraxis am Beispiel des DV-Systems BestandManager zur Überwachung und Dokumentation baulicher Anlagen vorgestellt.
Multimodel Numerical Analysis of the Elasto-Visco-Plastic Deformation of Materials and Constructions
(1997)
At the present time there is no a generally accepted theory of visco-plasticity which is applicable for a wide class of materials and arbitrary paths of loading. The multimodel approach, based on the creation of hierarchical sequence of the models, is the most rational. The developed library of elasto-visco-plastic models includes both simplest and sophistic models demanding numerous experimental data. A unified general form of constitutive equations for all used elasto-visco-plastic models are presented based upon the concept of tensorial internal state variables. It permits to use unified algorithm of boundary tasks solution for different variants of material models. The developed selection criteria system generates the necessary conditions and provides the choice of the simplest variant of theory sufficient for correct problem solution. Formulation of the selection criteria system is based on peculiarities of viscoplastic materials behavior for the wide range thermomechanical loading and numerous computational experiments with structures different complexity levels. A set of effective schemes of integration stress-strain relations and non-linear finite element system solution are discussed for the considered class of material models. Application possibility of different material models is studied both for material element and for complicated structures. Application of the multimodel approach in numerical computations has demonstrated possibility of reliable prediction of stress-strain response under wide variety of combined loading.
Gegenstand der Betrachtung ist ein spezielles Tourenproblem der Schüttgutoptimierung. Man stelle sich als Realitätsbezug ein Transportunternehmen vor, das eine Anzahl von gleichartigen Fahrzeugen in einem Fuhrpark stationiert hat. Vorgegebene Mengen von Schüttgut müssen von einer Kiesgrube zu mehreren Baustellen transportiert werden. Dabei sind Be- und Entladezeiten, unterschiedliche mittlere Geschwindigkeiten für Leer- bzw. Lastfahrten und Schichtzeiten zu berücksichtigen. Gesucht ist eine optimale Anzahl von einzusetzenden Fahrzeugen und die zugehörigen Tourenpläne mit dem Ziel der Minimierung der Transportkosten unter Beachtung der Lieferverträge. Die Lösung des Problems erfolgt in zwei Phasen. Zuerst wird die Frage geklärt, wieviele Fahrzeuge bei minimalem Kostenniveau einzusetzen und welche zu den Leerfahrten gehörigen Teilstrecken wie oft zu befahren sind. Anschließend wird mit heuristischen Verfahren versucht, die Menge der zu fahrenden Teilstrecken so auf die Fahrzeuge aufzuteilen, daß für jedes Fahrzeug eine zulässige Tour entsteht. Zur komplexen Lösung einer denkbaren Aufgabe liegt ein Programm in der Programmiersprache PASCAL vor. Die erzielten numerischen Resultate belegen, daß auch für Probleme größerer Dimension eine Optimallösung oder sehr gute Näherungen in vernünftiger Zeit gefunden werden.
A technique for using object-oriented technologies to write structural analysis software has been developed. The structural design information of an individual building is stored in an object-oriented database. A global database provides general design values as material data and safety factors. A class library for load elements has been evolved to model the transfer of loads in a building. This class library is the basis for the development of further classes for other structural elements such as beams, columns or slabs. A software has been developed to monitor the forces transferred from one structural member to another in a building for load cases and combinations according to Eurocode 1. The results of the analysis are stored in the projects database from which a structural design report may be generated. The software was developed under Microsoft Visual C++. The Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC) was used to program the Graphical User Interface (GUI). Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology is useful to include any type of OLE server objects for example texts written with a word processor or CAD drawings in the structural design report. The Object-Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS) ObjectStore provides services to store the large amount of objects.

The allowable decision of a examined problem represents set of not crossed complexes provided that, for each working place one functional complex is certain in the accuracy. The elementary case of a formulated above problem is known under the name >a problem about purposes< [1], when the complex is defined as a pair >an executor - working place<. In case of three-element complexes we come to a problem about three-combinations. In a general case the complex consists from m of elements and the problem of formation of m-element complexes is formulated on the m-colour column.
With the help of functional analytical methods complex analysis is a powerful tool in treating non-linear first-order partial differential equations in the plane. Some of the most important of these equations are the Beltrami equations. This is due to the fact that the theory of Beltrami systems is related to many problems of geometry and analysis, like non-linear subsonic two-dimensional hydrodynamics, problems of conformal and quasiconformal mappings of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, or complex analytic dynamics. The theory of Beltrami equations is strongly connected with the -operator. This singular integral operator is immediately recognized as two-dimensional Hilbert-transform, known also under the name of integral operator with Beurling kernel, acting as an isometry of L2(C) onto L2(C). In hypercomplex function theory the Beltrami equations have not yet this importance, but nevertheless, they are a basic condition for the transfer of complex methods and efforts for solving partial differential equations, especially of non-linear type, to the spatial case. Here we deal with hypercomplex Beltrami systems. For this we restrict ourselves to the quaternionic case, but without any loss of generality. We will show how a spatial generalization of the complex -operator can be used to solve systems of non-linear partial differential equations, in particular different types of spatial Beltrami systems. Also, the for practical purposes so important norm estimates will be derived. Some of our results are stronger as known results in the complex case, but they are applicable in the complex situation, too.
The presented work focuses on the presentation of a discrete event simulator which can be used for automated sequencing and optimization of building processes. The sequencing is based on the commonly used component–activity–resource relations taking structural and process constraints into account. For the optimization a genetic algorithm approach was developed, implemented and successfully applied to several real life steel constructions. In this contribution we discuss the application of the discrete event simulator including its optimization capabilities on a 4D process model of a steel structure of an automobile recycling facility.
The effectiveness of working processes accomplished by various technological machines to a large extend depends on working quality of supply, transporting and orientating mechanisms which are very often produced as positional hydro-mechanical systems. The choice of their best type and regimes of work requires construction and analysis of models of their optimum steering which are complicated by nonlinearness, multy-criterialness of problem and also by occasional outbreaks of parameters and moments of steering regime changing. It was developed the common structure of such systems allowing within common scheme to vary the complexity degree of PHMS and the methods of inhibitory efforts supplement. For some systems which are complicated in series (from two-measured linear system to nine-measured non-linear) puzzles of the most fast zero-ambit getting are solved and two-criterial problems are analyzed. (T-min-speed, Z(T)- accuracy). There are suggested the computing procedures of optimum PHMS synthesis. The effectiveness of accepted methods of solving is asserted by the analogy of the results of gradually complicated models investigation and by their good analogy with the natural experiment. It was exposed the sense of heuristic methods of improving of approximately optimum steering, their elaboration on the base of theoretical models. The basic methods of optimum PGMS construction were also nominated.
Parallele Netzgenerierung
(1997)
Bei der Berechnung von statischen oder dynamischen Problemen mit Hilfe der Methode der Finiten Elemente ist eine Diskretisierung des zu berechnenden Gebietes notwendig. Bei einer sinnvollen Modellierung des Gebietes ist die Elementgröße meist nicht konstant, sondern ist an kritischen Stellen kleiner. Die Vorgaben hierfür können einerseits aus Erfahrungen des Anwenders, andererseits aus einer Fehlerabschätzung einer vorangegangenen FE-Berechnung resultieren [5]. Soll die FE-Berechnung auf einem Parallelrechner geschehen, ist eine Partitionierung des Gebietes, d.h. eine Zuordnung der Elemente zu den Prozessoren, notwendig. Bei dem hier beschriebenen Ansatz werden nun im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Verfahren erst die Eingangsdaten für den Netzgenerator umgewandelt und dann das Elementnetz direkt auf dem Parallelrecher gleichzeitig auf allen Prozessoren erzeugt. Eine Aufteilung der Elemente auf die Prozessoren entsteht als Nebenprodukt der Netzaufteilung. Die entstehenden Teilgebietsgrenzen werden geometrisch minimiert. Die Lastbalance der Netzaufteilung sowie der FE-Rechnung wird durch ein annähernd gleiche Anzahl der Elemente je Partition gewährleistet. Als Eingabedaten wird eine Beschreibung des Gebietes durch Polygonzüge, sowie einer Netzdichtefunktion, z.B. durch Punkte mit Angaben über die angestrebte Elementgröße, benötigt.
Particle Simulation and Evaluation of Personal Exposure to Contaminant Sources in an Elevation Space
(2004)
An elevator, which figures a small volume, is normally used by everyone for a short period of time and equipped with simple ventilation system..Any contaminant released within it may cause serious problem. This research adapt a fire and smoke simulation software (FDS) into non-fire indoor airflow scario. Differently from previous research, particles are chosen as a risk evalution unit. A personal and multi-personal exposure model is proposed. The model takes the influence of the human thermal boundary, coughing, inhalation, exhalation, standing position, and the fan factor into account. The model is easy-to-use and suitable for the design of elevator system in practice.
Der englische Physiker und Mathematiker Roger Penrose hat eine mathematische Pflasterung entdeckt, deren Formenreichtum neue Impulse in der Architektur setzen kann. In der Gemeinde Bütgenbach im Hohen Venn, Belgien, wurde das Verwaltungszentrum durch den Essener Architekten Ernst Burghartz mit mehrereren Penrose-Pflasterungen versehen. Diese beruhen auf einem Computer-Programm, welches der Vortragende zusammen mit Dr. Frank Martini entwickelt hat. Herr Burghartz hat jedoch diesen Vorentwurf nach seinen künstlerischen Vorstellungen abgewandelt.
The paper analyses the influence of the effect of inertia on the reliability of production systems. Systems inertia represents the phenomenon of continuing work for some time after the breakdown of one of the former phases. In our considerations, inertia is treated as the time elapsed from the onset of breakdown till the system's inability to work. A special method had to be devised to investigate the effect of inertia in order to evaluate the reliability of production systems and to attempt algorithmization to control the reliability of production system by means of inertia or reserving. The method of reliability analysis is presented only in an inform aspect. The possibilities of increasing reliability of production systems are listed. A comparison of the redundancy method and inertia method is presented. The results of this comparison and simulated investigations of influence of inertia on reliability of system are essential scope of the paper. Selected conclusions are as follows: when inertia approaches the last phase in the system, its influence on the shape of the distribution of the system's ability increases; an increase in inertia causes an increase in the availability of the system which approaches a certain border value; dependence of the average of a system's disability on inertia has a saddle-like character whereas dependence of the number of breakdowns (stoppages) in the system has the nature of an S-curve.
Physically Based Modeling and Multi-Physical Simulation System for Wood Structure Fire Performance
(2004)
This research is devoted to promoting the performance-based engineering in wood structure fire. 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.
The goal of the research is to increase the understanding of dynamic behaviors during the crane operation, and develops computer-aided methods to improve the training of crane operators. There are approximately 125,000 cranes in operation today in the construction industry, responsible for major portion of erection activities. Unfortunately, many accidents occur every year in the U.S. and other countries related to the operation of cranes in construction sites. For example on November 28, 1989 a tower crane collapse during the construction of a building in San Francisco killing four construction workers, one civilian and injuring 28. According to the statistics from Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA), there were 137 crane-related fatalities from 1992 to 2001 in the US. A well-known internet website that keeps track of crane-related accidents (craneaccidents.com), reports 516 accidents and 277 fatalities from 2000 to 2002. These statistics show that even though many measures have been taken to decrease the number of crane-related accidents (Braam, 2002), the number of crane related accidents is still very large. It is important to recognize that each construction related fatality is not only a great human loss but also increases the costs of insurance, lawsuits, and the construction budget due to delay of a project (Paulson 1992)...

The complexity of the relationships between the actors of a building project requires high efficiency in communication. Among other things, data sharing is crucial. The exchange of data is made possible by interfaces between expert programs, which rely on product models. The latter are neutral standards with formal definitions of building objects and their attributes. This paper deals with the state of the art and the research activities concerning product models in the steel construction domain and the advantages provided by this technology for the sector.
The Priority Programme ‘Network Based Co-operation in Structural Engineering’ of the ‘German Research Foundation’ (DFG) has been established in the year 2000. This paper describes and discusses the main research directions and first results of the workgroup ‘Distributed Product Models’. 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.
Pseudorigidity method for solving the problem of limit equilibrium of rigid-plastic constructions
(1997)
1.Design calculations , based upon the theory elasticity , cannot completely satisfy engineers and designers , because cannot answer to basic question about overload capability . Only design calculations of limit equilibrium of rigid-plastic constructions can answer to this question completely enough. As a rule , such design calculations are made issue from hypothesis, that material of construction has rigid-plastic diagram Prandtl .This scheme of calculation gives qualitatively more correct results, then usual calculation, based upon law Hooke’s , and allows more really estimate ultimate strength of construction due to different loads. Universal algorithms for solving the problem of limit equilibrium have been created since the middle of the 60’s.These algorithms are based upon two basic theorems about limit analysis - static and kinetics. It was found , that with the help of above-mentioned theorems the problem of limit equilibrium can be formulated as a problem of linear programming (for linear yield) or nonlinear programming (for yield Guber-Mizes). The method of linear programming conformably to calculation of rod systems got the most development in the reports Prager W. [1] and Chiras A. [ 2 ]. The method of linear programming conformably to plates and shells was widely used by Rganizin A.[3]. [3[ contains more full bibliography about this problem. Calculation of limit equilibrium with the help of linear and nonlinear programming has a few significant lacks: - complexity and laboriousness preliminary preparation of problem for PC; - necessity to use special program means , which are not in usual program packet for strength analysis. Author worked out a new method about design calculation of limit equilibrium without above-mentioned lacks . The method is based upon analogy of relations between internal generalized efforts and generalized deformations in elastic system and between generalized efforts and velocities of change generalized deformations in rigid-plastic system. Because later rigid-plastic deformation would be treated as an elastic deformation in the system with special constructed rigidities , this method could be called >pseudorigidity method<.
The theory of random matrices, or random matrix theory, RMT in what follows, has been developed at the beginning of the fties to describe the sta- tistical properties of energy levels of complex quantum systems, [1], [2], [3]. In the early eighties it has enjoyed renewed interest since it has been recognized as a very useful tool in the study of numerous physical systems. Specically, it is very useful in the analysis of chaotic quantum systems. In fact, in the last years many papers appeared about the problem of quantum chaos which implies the quantization of systems whose underlying classical dynamics is irregular (i.e. chaotic). The simplest models considered in this eld are billi- ards of various shapes. From the the classical point of view, a point particle in a 2-dimensional billiard displays regular or irregular motion depending on the shape of the billiard; for instance motion in a rectangular or circular billi- ard is regular thanks to the symmetries of the boundary. On the other hand, billiards of arbitrary shapes imply chaotic motion, i.e. exponential diver- gence of initially nearby trajectories. In order to study quantum billiards we have to consider the Schroedinger equation in various 2-dimensional domains. The eigenvalues of the Schroedinger equation represent the allowed energy levels of our quantum particle in the billiard under consideration, while the eigenfunction norms represent the probability density of nding the particle in a certain position. The question of quantum chaos is whether the charac- ter of the classical motion (regular or chaotic) can in uence some properties

In current AEC practice client requirements are typically recorded in a building program, which, depending on the building type, covers various aspects from the overall goals, activities and spatial needs to very detailed material and condition requirements. This documentation is used as the starting point of the design process, but as the design progresses, it is usually left aside and changes are made incrementally based on the previous design solution. These incremental small changes can lead to a solution that may no longer meet the original requirements. In addition, design is by nature an iterative process and the proposed solutions often also cause evolution in the client requirements. However, the requirements documentation is usually not updated accordingly. Finding the latest updates and evolution of the requirements from the documentation is very difficult, if not impossible. This process can lead to an end result, which is significantly different from the documented requirements. Some important requirements may not be satisfied, and even if the design process was based on agreed-upon changes in the scope and requirements, differences in the requirements documents and in the completed building can lead to well-justified doubts about the quality of the design and construction process...

A multicriterial statement of the above mentioned problem is presented. It differes from the classical statement of Spanning Tree problem. The quality of solution is estimated by vector objective function which contains weight criteria as well as topological criteria (degree and diameter of tree). Many real processes are not determined yet. And that is why the investigation of the stability is very important. Many errors are connected with calculations. The stability analysis of vector combinatorial problems allows to discover the value of changes in the initial data for which the optimal solution is not changed. Furthermore, the investigation of the stability allows to construct the class of the problems on base of the one problem by means of the parameter variations. Analysis of the problems with belong to this class allows to obtaine axact and adecuate discription of model
Research on Establishment of a Standard of Traffic Impact Assessment with Integrated Database System
(2004)
Planning support systems, such as geographical information system (GIS) and traffic flow simulation models, are widely in use in recent urban planning research. In this paper we propose a method to apply traffic impact assessment (TIA) to large-scale, commercial developments. In TIA research we often encounter the problem of increasing amount of data that is necessary for detailed investigation and analysis, as the scale of commercial developments become larger and more complex. As a result, TIA presents two problems. The first problem is the difficulty of data acquisition. The second problem is the reliability of data. As a solution, we developed an integrated database system.
Recently, many reseraches on active control systems of building structures are preformed based on modern control theory and are installed real buildings. The authors have already proposed intelligent fuzzy optimal active control (IFOAC) systems. IFOAC systems imitate intelligent activities of human brains such as prediction, adaptation, decision-kaking and so on. In IFOAC systems, objective and subjective judgements on the active control can be taken into account. However, IFOAC systems are considered to be suitable for far-field erathquake and control effect becomes small in case of near-field earthqaukes which include a few velosity pules with large amplitudes. To improve control effect in case of near-souece earthquakes, the authors have also proposed hybrid control (HC) systems, in which IFOAC systems and fuzzy control system are combined. In HC systems, the fuzzy control systems are introduced as a reflective fuzzy active control (RFAC) system and imitates spinal reflection of human. In HC systems, active control forces are activated to buildings in accordance with switching rules on active control forces. In this paper, optimizations on fuzzy control rules in RFAC system and switching rules of active control forces in HC system are performed by Parameter-Free Genetic Algorithms (PfGAs). Here, the optimization is performed by using different earthquake inputs. The results of digital simulations show that the HC system can reduce maximal response displacements under restrictions on strokes of the actuator effectively in case of a near-source earthquake and the effectiveness of the proposed HC system is discussed and clarified.
