In Austria, the ONR 24810 guideline currently regulates technical rockfall protection. It specifies that rockfall protection measures (at slope scale) should be dimensioned on the so-called design block (V95-V98). The design block method is...

For the re-analysis and assessment of bridge structures, different approaches are currently used in Germany for the determination of shear capacity. With the proposed shear capacity model for level 2 of the German guideline...

Simulation results are presented to illustrate new methods and models for analyzing irreversible damage processes in wooden structures. The new developments include methods for the simulation of hygro-mechanical long-term loading, of crack...

The maintenance backlog of Germany’s infrastructure is a major challenge for its operators. Locks with only one chamber operated by the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) are part of the system critical infrastructure....

A ramp structure with a length of 588 m was planned in the area of the Nuremberg East interchange between the A9 and A6 highways. The bridge structure is an extradosed bridge, which represents an unusual technical and design solution for a ramp...

In this paper, the seismic internal forces of a building are calculated and compared using the Conditional Mean Spectra (CMS) and Uniform Hazard Spectra (UHS) methods. The building is considered as a reinforced concrete building and as a timber...

The fundamental suitability of welded iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMA) for extending the remaining service life of steel components with fatigue cracks was analyzed in preliminary experimental studies. For this purpose, compact tensile (CT)...

A key application of Building Information Modeling is the optimization of collaboration between project participants in a construction project. This article focuses on the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the facility management...

As part of the FOSTA research project P1328 (IGF No. 19964 N), a design approach for thin-walled, cold-formed steel sections was developed. It transfers the cross-sectional load bearing capacity, which is determined following the American standard...

The new 4.0 km long Storstrømsbroen, currently under construction, is a multimodal bridge that combines a double-track high-speed railway line with a road on a common superstructure cross-section and will connect the Danish islands of Falster and...
