This paper presents and documents the measurement results of a series of shake table tests conducted on a two-story steel structure. The test structure was subjected to various dynamic excitations using a uniaxial shake table, including earthquake...

This paper presents findings from tests and numerical simulations conducted on plate girders with varying end post configurations. Although EN 1993–1–5:2024 provides design guidelines for both rigid and non-rigid end posts, it does not cover the...

The modelling of soil-structure interaction is of crucial importance for the design of flat founded reinforced concrete crane beams. The resulting stresses on the crane beams depend on the ratio of the bending stiffness of the crane beam and the...

The smooth and timely execution of construction projects without additional measures is a common goal for many project participants. Despite extensive research into analyzing the causes of deviations, planning errors are still a widespread topic in...

It has always been a goal of construction management research to improve the handling of construction projects. Within the framework of so-called „integrated project delivery“, project participants generally attempt to create a system that...

Cable-stayed bridges, celebrated for their architectural elegance and efficient design, are notable landmarks worldwide. However, they face structural challenges, such as sensitivity to asymmetric loads and the need for significant components. This...

This paper presents a method for optimizing the load-baring structure of high-speed railway bridges. Optimization is performed in terms of the required failure probability as defined in the relevant regulations, with the geometry of the bridge...

Bridge construction measures are primarily awarded based on their economic efficiency. Cost, time and quality criteria guide the planning and awarding of contracts. However, it is clear that sustainability must become the key criterion of...

The “Bankhaus am Theater” (bank building at the theater) in Aachen was built in the Wilhelminian period in 1907 and is listed as heritage building. From 2018 to 2022, it was expanded by a new concrete building, which cantilevers the historic...
