Project delivery models such as „Project Alliancing“ and „Integrated Project Delivery“ have been used successfully abroad for many years. These models differ from traditional models in particular through early integration of key project...

Digital transformation in the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) is a key driver to enhance technical innovation in the branch and adds dynamic to all work processes and methods. A more differentiated understanding of the...

The aim of the present study is to be able to estimate the effects of a required dynamic calculation already in the preliminary design. For this purpose, certain design parameters of the specific bridge type – double track, two field spanning...

The rapidly advancing digitization and fast growing amounts of geodata present engineering geology with new challenges. Modern devices such as drones and laser scanners produce enormous amounts of data in a short time. Preparing these data and...

The 2 404 m long Pelješac Bridge, Croatia, ranks among the most demanding bridges in the Europe in terms of both the technological complexity of construction and the complexity of the design. The bridge is located in an area of very high seismic...

In order to be able to meet the current requirements for climate protection as well as the existing and future possibilities of digitalization and the resulting change in the construction industry, this article reflects on developments in research...

In the case of openings and notches in glulam beams, unplanned moisture can reduce the relevant transverse tensile strength. Such effects in the case of humidification and subsequent dehumidification, including improvement of the transverse tensile...

This paper presents an intensive study of the seismic vulnerability of historic brick masonry buildings. An extensive investigation of the seismic structural behavior, the underlying failure or collapse mechanisms of individual structural components...

Due to their anisotropy, prestressing strands made of CFRP are extremely sensitive to loads transverse to fibre-direction, which occur particularly in a curved tendon. To determine the lateral pressure on the strands, a cable factor has to be...

For stability calculations of slopes, the method according to Nilmar Janbu with its polygonal sliding planes has the advantage that even non-trivial sliding planes geometries can be approximated sufficiently well and with relatively little effort....

For an economic design against stability failure of double-T pile of combined sheet pile walls, it is necessary to consider the resistance of the soil to twisting or buckling. Results from in situ tests are already presented in Part I of this...
