T1 - Confidence intervals of modal parameters during progressive damage test N2 - In Operational Modal Analysis, the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes) obtained from Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI) of a structure, are afflicted with statistical uncertainty. For evaluating the quality of the obtained results it is essential to know the respective confidence intervals of these figures. In this paper we present algorithms that automatically compute the confidence intervals of modal parameters obtained from covarianceand data-driven SSI of a structure based on vibration measurements. They are applied to the monitoring of the modal parameters of a prestressed concrete highway bridge during a progressive damage test that was accomplished within the European research project IRIS. Results of the covariance- and data-driven SSI are compared.

Based on the results from physical model tests at different geometrical scales, this paper provides a certain quantification of such phenomena and discusses their causes and consequences. The progressive sand densification leads to subsidence of the soil surface and a significant stiffening of the pile behaviour. Conversely, the ratcheting convective motion of two closed cells of soil beneath the pile-head is responsible for an endless grain migration at the soil surface, the inverse grading of the convected material and a direct shear of the sand at the distinct boundary of the revolving soil domain. In this respect, and from a macromechanical perspective considering the soil as a continuum, it appears that the convecting material tends to follow gradient lines of shear stress during its ratcheting motion. Concluding the paper, the practical relevance of these phenomena and their extrapolation to other conditions are briefly discussed.

If all mechanical parameters of the system were known, the displacement of the system subjected to this load could be easily calculated. However, the monitoring applications often deal with the inverse problem. The loads and displacements of the system are known and certain mechanical Parameters of the system are sought. The solution of such inverse problems can be difficult, especially when they have a nonlinear and multimodal character, which often makes them appear intractable at first sight. However, evolutionary computing can be applied to solve this inverse, nonlinear and multimodal problem. Sometimes a prior knowledge exists on certain system properties, which is difficult to implement into analytical or numerical solvers. This knowledge can play a decisive role in identifying the System properties and it can be easily included as a boundary condition when applying evolutionary algorithms. This article discusses how and under what conditions the unknown spring resistances can be identified. The practical application of this procedure is exemplified here with the mechanical system of a pile foundation.

Here, the particular relevance of some of the main factors that affect the liquefaction susceptibility of an offshore monopile will be addressed, focusing on the possibility of a progressive accumulation of residual pore water pressure within the saturated soil around a monopile under cyclic lateral loading. The discussion is based on numerical results obtained with a coupled FE model of the offshore foundation which includes the Biot-Zienkiewicz u-p model. A constitutive model of the Generalized Plasticity type has been used for the soil in order to reproduce important features of its behaviour under cyclic loading. This paper presents the findings derived from a parametric study of the problem and shows that the accumulation of residual pore pressure can produce significant changes of the pile's behaviour under external loading. The paper also investigates the effects caused by the loading from a realistic storm of moderate magnitude and the consequential transient degradation of the foundation's stiffness.

The cyclic behaviour of axially and laterally loaded piles for the foundation of offshore wind turbines is being investigated by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in the frame of several research projects funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and carried out in cooperation with industrial and academic partners. To this end, physical model tests in reduced scale as well as large scale field tests are being performed. This paper presents the new pile testing facility in the BAM's testing site at Horstwalde. The large-scale tests being performed there are aiming at the pile capacity degradation due to cyclic axial loading (both in tension and compression) as well as at the investigation of the capacity gains due to ageing effects (pile setup). Concerning the cyclic loading, the investigations have been mainly focused on special load combinations where there is little experience and where current interaction diagrams are loosely defined. However, the aim of the tests was not the cyclic failure, but rather the assessment of the post-cyclic capacity after the application of a pre-defined number of load cycles. Here, the testing program is summarised and some key results from the first testing campaign are discussed. The paper also presents some preliminary results concerning the capacity gains through ageing and compares them to previous experience from the literature. Finally, the paper gives an outlook on further goals of the current research projects, including the validation and calibration of a design model for the cyclic capacity of piles based on measured data from real piles.

T1 - Numerical modeling of train-track-interaction at bridge transition zones considering the long-term behaviour N2 - A train passage will induce elastic and plastic deformations in the ballast and ist underlying soll. Considering the short term behaviour the elastic deformations will overweight the plastic and therefore these can be neglected. Regarding the long term behaviour the plastic deformations will accumulate due to repeating traffic loads and lead to settlement and Deterioration ofthe track structure. A smooth settlement along the track (small differential Settlement) is acceptable, whereas large differential settlement accelerates the process of deterioration and reduces the safety and serviceability ofthe track. Especially a bridge transition zone is prone to large differential settlements, where the track deteriorates in the backfilling area of bridge abutments mainly due to stiffness changes between embankment and bridge, repeating traffic loads and displacements of the superstructure Ends on bridges. A numerical model will be presented, with a particular focus on the long term behaviour of the track at bridge transition zones under repeating traffic loads. The ahn ofthe Simulation is not the computation of every train Crossing but the analysis of the long term behaviour of the bridge transition zone based on single train crossings.

A1 - Baeßler, Matthias A1 - Rücker, Werner T1 - A numerical model for the transient analysis of offshore foundations under cyclic loading N2 - A comprehensive numerical model for the analysis of offshore foundations under a general transient loading is presented here. The theoretical basis of the model lies on the Swansea formulation of Biot's equations of dynamic poroelasticity combined with a constitutive model that reproduces key aspects of cyclic soil behaviour in the frame of the theory of generalised plasticity. On the practical side, the adoption of appropriate finite element formulations may prevent the appearance of spurious numerical instabilities of the pore pressure field. In this respect, the use of a coupled enhanced-strain element is here proposed. On the other hand, the practicality of the presented model depends ultimately on its computational efficiency. Some practical recommendations concerning the solution strategies, the matrix storage/handling procedures and the parallel multi-processor computation are here provided. Finally, the performance of the model with a benchmark study case and its practical application to analyse the soil–structure interaction of an offshore monopile under a realistic transient storm loading are discussed.

T1 - Ermittlung von Beanspruchung und Verformungen von Pfahlgründungen - Messverfahren und Applikation N2 - Vor dem Hintergrund einer angestrebten größeren Unabhängigkeit der Energieversorgung von fossilen Energieträgern hat die Windenergie in den letzten Dekaden zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dabei wird insbesondere die Energiegewinnung offshore in der Deutschen Nordsee, auf Grund dort vorhandener stetiger Winde und sinkender Akzeptanz von Windkraftanlagen an Land, forciert. Im Hinblick auf die Gründung dieser Anlagen wird technisches Neuland betreten. Angesichts von Wassertiefen bis über 25 m erhalten aufgelöste Gründungsstrukturen wie Tripod und Jacket oft den Vorzug vor Monopiles. Letztere waren wegen der geringen Produktions- und Installationskosten, der bisher am häufigsten angewandte Gründungstyp in flacheren Gewässern. Monopile- und Mehrpfahlgründung unterscheiden sich wesentlich im Abtrag der Belastung durch Beanspruchungen aus Wind und Wellen in den umgebenden Baugrund. Während beim Monopile die zyklischen Momente über laterale Bettung abgetragen werden, entstehen an den Mehrpfahlgründungen axiale Zug- und Druckbelastungspaare in gegenüberliegenden Pfählen. Die zyklischen Belastungen von Monopiles sind demnach hauptsächlich in lateraler Richtung zu erwarten, während für Mehrpfahlgründungen die zyklische Belastung einen überwiegend axialen Charakter aufweist. Die zyklischen axialen Lasten in den Pfählen der Mehrpfahlgründungen können die axialen Tragfähigkeiten insbesondere am Pfahlmantel reduzieren und damit evtl, zu einem Versagen der Gründung führen.

T1 - Evaluating the degradation of ballasted track at bridges for high-speed railways N2 - The bridge design for railway bridges is far more dependent on the interaction with the traffic and the carriageway than for road bridges. This is especially true for the specific demands of the track in highspeed railways. Both maintenance and safety of the track have to be considered. The most relevant sections for the design criteria can be located at the bridge transition zones. Based on experimental investigations it is shown that bridge joint displacements, changes in stiffness and uplifting of the sleeper are causes for an increased degradation and loss in strength of the ballasted track. With respect to high speed vibrations of the bridge deck can have an even more decisive impact. Bridge deck vibrations can lead to destabilization of the bailast. In a numerical study the behavior of the track at the bridge is illustrated.

T1 - Assessment and optimisation of bridge transition zones on the basis of a numerical model for train-track-bridge interaction N2 - The main degradation process at bridge transition zones due to traffic loads is the appearance of differential settlements. Abrupt stiffness changes, repeating traffic loads and relative displacements of the superstructure ends on bridges often aggravate this problem. In this contribution, a 3D finite element (FE) model extended with a boundary formulation in the frame of the scaled-boundary finite element method (SBFEM) for a transient analysis of train-track-bridge interaction is presented. This numerical model permits an assessment of bridge transition zone with respect to permanent deformations of the track. The main focus lies on the modeling strategies for the vehicle and their impact on suitable assessment criteria for bridge transition zones. For this purpose, two different modeling strategies for the vehicle, a moving load model and a multibody model, have been compared and discussed on the basis of the assessment criteria. The results indicate that the model of the vehicle has a minor effect for an assessment on the embankment, but that the assessment on the bridge may show significant differences depending on whether the inertial components of the vehicle (multibody model) are considered.

Together, wind and waves shake the foundations of the offshore wind turbines. "ere is also the “normal” current and ebb and #ow of the tides that are so distinctive in the North Sea. Pore water pressure can also occur on the seabed, loosening it. Where monopiles are involved, the worst case is that the stability of the whole turbine can be altered – even if such a monopile rammed into the seabed has a diameter of up to eight metres. Over half the planned offshore wind turbines in the North and Baltic Seas are to have monopile foundations, and over 40 % are to have multi-pile foundations, designed for example as a tripod. "is is why pile foundations and their loads deserve special attention. For one thing above all is to be avoided in plant operations, and that is the risk of turbine tilt.

The dimensions of the pile are governed by both the internal capacity and the fatigue behaviour of the steel cross-section as well as by its external capacity in the pile-soil interaction. Owing to the large numbers of piled foundations required for current and future offshore wind farms, there is an urgent need to optimize the dimensions and related costs of single piles. With regard to the pile capacity, two major topics of research are the determination of possible capacity gains due to pile ageing effects and proper consideration of cyclic degradation. In order to investigate both effects, a large-scale testing facility has been constructed at the BAM TTS site in Horstwalde near Berlin. This open-air facility allows large tubular driven piles to be loaded cyclically in both tension and compression while studying the ageing effects by introducing delays between the testing campaigns. First results already show a moderate increase in pile capacity over time. Concerning the anticipated capacity degradation of cyclically loaded piles, preliminary results show an unexpected behaviour. Additional tests are currently being conducted for further clarification.

T1 - The stability of ballasted tracks supported on vibrating bridge decks, abutments and transition zones N2 - The track on bridges is affected by cyclic and dynamic action arising from the train passage and the reaction of the track supporting structure. Concerning the track, the current bridge design procedures include two major engineering tasks: On the one hand the stability of the track supported on the bridge deck has to be satisfied. In order to reduce the deterioration of the track the elasticity of the track has to be adapted for the stiff bridge deck. Furthermore, lateral stability has also to be satisfied. The vibration of the bridge structure has to be taken into account because it can affect the stability of the ballasted track. On the other hand the transition zone between bridge structure, abutment and the track on the subgrade is a matter of permanent concern. The changes in stiffness, in the dynamic behavior arising from the rolling stock and the relative deflection between the bridge structure and the abutment induce a nearly unavoidable problem for the long term behaviour on the track. BAM has conducted intensive experimental work to study the behaviour of the ballasted track on dynamically excited bridges. The state of the art is a design value for the deck acceleration of 0.35 g as established in the ENV 1991-1. In our experimental investigations the design value was verified. The influence of a frequency content higher than 30 Hz and of single vibration amplitudes on the track deterioration was evaluated. Both vertical and lateral stability were investigated. The influence of vibrations on the lateral stability can be more severe since the lateral stability could involve a sudden failure of the track. Furthermore, a simulation tool was developed to calculate the lateral stability on a vibrating bridge deck. For this simulation tool a parameter study was undertaken [1] where combinations of the curvature of the bridge-track system, the design temperature and the bridge deck vibrations were investigated. Parts of this study are incorporated in this paper. In a current research project the investigations are extended to the interaction of the train-track-dynamics and the long term behaviour of the transition zone. The main emphasis is on the integration of the possible deterioration of the structural components in the numerical modelling of the relevant structural elements of the vehicle, the bridge and bridge abutment structure. An outlook is given to a complete model for the assessment of the track behaviour at railway bridges.

Das damit verbundene Ziel ist die Entwicklung eines numerischen Modells zu entwickeln, dass sowohl das Langzeitverhalten wie auch das kurzzeitdynamische Verhalten beschreibt, um konstruktive Lösungen zu entwickeln und zu optimieren. In einer ersten Phase wird der Brückenübergang mittels der FEM mit zwei unterschiedlichen Randmodellierungen für das FE-Gebiet modelliert. Die Ergebnisse der Modellierung mit einer Visko-Elastischen Randmodellierung und einer Randmodellierung mittels der Scaled-Boundary-Finite-Element Methode, werden miteinander verglichen. Unterschiede in der Wirkung auf kurzzeitdynamische Kenngrößen werden gezeigt, die heranzuziehen sind, um insbesondere Setzungen im Hinterfüllungsbereich des Brückenwiderlagers abzuschätzen. T2 - 4.
