So far, the entire available knowledge on this kind of abnormal grain growth has been elaborated based on time discrete observations and, thus, detailed insights into the interplay of elementary mechanisms are still lacking in open literature. The present study reveals time resolved insights into this kind of abnormal grain growth for the first time. It was possible to break down the influence of the individual heat treatment phases by in situ synchrotron high energy X-ray diffraction analysis during cyclic heat reatment. The results obtained not only help to gain a deep understanding of the abnormal grain growth mechanisms, they will also be the basis for an adjustment of the cyclic heat treatment process to improve its efficiency and to eventually obtain even larger single crystals.

The presentation provides an overview of the sources of uncertainty in geotechnical analyses. A probabilistic 3D ground model of the cone-tip resistance from CPTs is developed utilizing sparse CPT data from a real offshore wind farm site in the North Sea. The predictive cone tip resistance model is used to derive a design property, such as the friction angle, using geotechnical transformation models. The friction angle profiles are then used to show an example of monopile design under uncertainty.

A steadily increasing number of new alloys, designed to address challenges in terms of reliability and sustainability, poses significant demands on well-known analysis methods in terms of their efficiency, e.g., in X-ray diffraction analysis. Particularly in laboratory measurements, where the intensities in diffraction experiments tend to be low, a possibility to adapt the exposure time to the prevailing boundary conditions, i.e., the investigated microstructure, is seen to be a very effective approach. The counting time is decisive for, e.g., complex texture, phase, and residual stress measurements. Traditionally, more measurement points and, thus, longer data collection times lead to more accurate information. Here, too short counting times result in poor signal-to-background ratios and dominant signal noise, respectively, rendering subsequent evaluation more difficult or even impossible. Then, it is necessary to repeat experiments with adjusted, usually significantly longer counting time. To prevent redundant measurements, it is state-of-the-art to always consider the entire measurement range, regardless of whether the investigated points are relevant and contribute to the subsequent materials characterization, respectively. Obviously, this kind of approach is extremely time-consuming and, eventually, not efficient. The present study highlights that specific selection strategies, taking into account the prevailing microstructure of the alloy in focus, can decrease counting times in X-ray energy dispersive diffraction experiments without any detrimental effect on data quality for the subsequent analysis. All relevant data, including the code, are carefully assessed and will be the basis for a widely adapted strategy enabling efficient measurements not only in lab environments but also in large-scale facilities.

To prevent immediate structural failure, an early warning system is essential, which requires inspection of local components. This research aims to achieve that by exploring the wave propagation analysis method, specifically seismic interferometry. Previous studies have applied this method to building structures, treating them as homogeneous layers of grouped floors. By analyzing the wave travel time along the height of these layers, the fundamental period of the building was estimated. However, this approach did not account for local damage or the variability of structural components, similar to the limitations of vibration‐based damage detection methods, which mainly identify global changes. Thus, the goal of this paper is to improve structural health monitoring by examining the sensitivity of wave screening, bridging the gap between nondestructive testing and vibration‐based damage detection. A half‐scale, seven‐story building model, characterized by vertical stiffness irregularity and transverse plan asymmetry, was tested in a laboratory setting. Two vertical sensor arrays were placed near corner columns of different sizes, representing both strong and weak structural areas. These arrays recorded floor accelerations in three directions. The study confirmed the effectiveness of wave propagation analysis for detecting damage along the sensor arrays before and after the earthquake. A transmissibility damage indicator was used to correlate changes in wave velocity, providing a quantitative assessment of damage levels along the wave propagation path.

The quality of the prognosis strongly depends on both the data quality and the quality of the digital twin. The latter comprises both the modeling assumptions as well as the correct parameters of these models. This article discusses the challenges when applying this concept to realmeasurement data for a demonstrator bridge in the lab, including the data management, the iterative development of the simulation model as well as the identification/updating procedure using Bayesian inference with a potentially large number of parameters. The investigated scenarios include both the iterative identification of the structural model parameters as well as scenarios related to a damage identification. In addition, the article aims at providing all models and data in a reproducibleway such that other researcher can use this setup to validate their methodologies.

Structures might suffer from effects such as moisture adsorption, carbonation, corrosion, penetration of salt ions and chemical substances, etc. In the hygroscopic range, these processes are mostly driven by diffusion. Due to the confinement of small pores (< 1 µm), the Knudsen effect reduces the molecular diffusion. This reduction can become more significant in case of temporal changing pore systems because of physisorption of water vapor, carbonation, or chemisorption. In this study, unstabilised earth blocks and earth masonry are investigated. In a first step, the pore size distribution of the blocks is measured and sorption isotherms are recorded in experiments. Besides the ordinary physisorption, the involved clay minerals undergo swelling or shrinking due to chemisorption. The following two effects must be considered: first, the reduction of the available pore space by the adsorbed water layer. For this, the Hillerborg sorption theory is used, which is a combination of the well-known Brunauer-Emmett-Teller sorption theory and the Kelvin equation. This allows the computation of adsorbed water layers even in curved pore geometries. Second, the variation of the initial pore size distribution due to chemisorption needs to be modelled. Based on these two models, the effective diffusion coefficient can be predicted. For validation, arrays of relative humidity sensors were embedded into a free-standing earth masonry wall. This monitoring was carried out over more than a year to have a broad variety of environmental conditions and was located in Berlin, Germany. The prediction of the effective diffusion coefficient can also be transferred to other processes and allows the investigation of materials having temporarily changing pore systems. Examples are the carbonation of cementitious materials, alkali silica reaction, calcium leaching of long-lasting structures, etc. This effect becomes most prominent in the meso-pore range and might alter the effective diffusion coefficient by more than 100 %.

T1 - Developing a guideline for structural health monitoring of road bridges in Germany N2 - In recent years, Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has become a useful and increasingly widely used tool for supporting lifetime extensions of existing bridges with known structural deficiencies or indications of potentially critical damages or damage processes. At the same time, methods and tools are emerging, which enable monitoring-informed predictive maintenance of new and existing bridges based on digital twins. The monitoring process – starting from the definition of monitoring actions and ending with decisions based on monitoring outcomes – is complex and requires expertise in structural engineering, operation and maintenance of bridges, metrology, and data analytics. To support German road authorities, engineering consultancies, building contractors and other stakeholders of the bridge management, the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) has initiated the development of a new guideline for applying SHM as part of the management of road bridges. The guideline will present various use cases and for each identified use case, it will propose a proven monitoring scheme. In addition, the guideline will provide guidance on assessing the benefits of SHM as well as a common approach to managing monitoring data as a systematic basis for integrating monitoring data in the bridge management. This contribution discusses the motivation, objectives, and scope of the guideline, describes its use case centric structure and outlines the proposed data management.

T1 - Evaluation of Concrete Fatigue Damage with Elastic Wave-based Measurement Techniques N2 - The fatigue damage evolution and the fatigue life of quasi-brittle materials such as concrete are not yet completely understood. Accordingly to get better insights, researchers have recently been incorporating advanced measuring techniques in their fatigue experiments. In this research, acoustic emission techniques (AET), active ultrasonic, and deformation measurements are used to track the damage evolution of concrete samples subjected to fatigue loading. The samples are subjected to constant amplitude and stepwise fatigue loading in Brazilian splitting test set-ups. Initially, a good agreement is observed between the deformation and the ultrasonic measurements in capturing the crack propagation during Brazilian splitting tests. The three fatigue damage phases could be identified with all of the three techniques. The Phase II damage rates quantified by deformation measurements and AET in stepwise fatigue tests were used to predict the number of cycles to failure at various stress levels. The predictions were validated using the number of cycles to failure of the constant amplitude fatigue tests.

The mechanical tests involved measuring the concrete/FRP shear properties using a double-lap shear test. Sixteen concrete specimens were cast, strengthened and surface preparation, instrumented, and driven to failure in the LMC laboratory and the BAM laboratory (Germany). Dynamic loading increased the bonded strength mainly because of an increase in the concrete tensile strength. Experimental data are then analysed and competed with the equation given by the new European standard that develop the design of external bonded FRP. The characteristic properties and bonded strength obtained by design equation were compared. Based on the results design equation are modified.

T1 - Fault detection for linear parameter varying systems under changes in the process noise covariance N2 - Detecting changes in the eigenstructure of linear systems is a comprehensively investigated subject. In particular, change detection methods based on hypothesis testing using Gaussian residuals have been developed previously. In such residuals, a reference model is confronted to data from the current system. In this paper, linear output-only systems depending on a varying external physical parameter are considered. These systems are driven by process noise, whose covariance may also vary between measurements. To deal with the varying parameter, an interpolation approach is pursued, where a limited number of reference models – each estimated from data measured in a reference state – are interpolated to approximate an adequate reference model for the current parameter. The problem becomes more complex when the different points of interpolation correspond to different noise conditions. Then conflicts may arise between the detection of changes in the eigenstructure due to a fault and the detection of changes due to different noise conditions. For this case, a new change detection approach is developed based on the interpolation of the eigenstructure at the reference points. The resulting approach is capable of change detection when both the external physical parameter and the process noise conditions are varying. This approach is validated on a numerical simulation of a mechanical system.

In practice, engineering structures often have low natural frequencies and face harsh environmental conditions. Understanding sensor behavior on such structures is crucial for reliable masurements. The research focus is on understanding the behavior of acceleration sensors in harsh environmental conditions within the low-frequency acceleration range. The main question is how to distinguish sensor behavior from structural influences to minimize errors in assessing engineering structure conditions. To investigate this, the sensors are tested using a long-stroke calibration unit under varying temperature and humidity conditions. Additionally, a mini-monitoring system configured with four IEPE sensors is applied to a small-scale support structure within a climate chamber. For the evaluation, a signal-energy approach is employed to distinguish sensor behavior from structural behavior. The findings show that IEPE sensors display temperature-dependent nonlinear transmission behavior within the low-frequency acceleration range, with humidity having negligible impact. To ensure accurate engineering structure assessment, it is crucial to separate sensor behavior from structural influences using signal energy in the time domain. This study underscores the need to compensate for systematic effects, preventing the underestimation of vibration energy at low temperatures and overestimation at higher temperatures when using IEPE sensors for engineering structure monitoring.

T1 - Evaluation of the fatigue resistance of butt‑welded joints in towers of wind turbines - A comparison of experimental studies with small scale and component tests as well as numerical based approaches with local concepts N2 - Wind turbines are exposed to a high number of load cycles during their service lifetime. Therefore, the fatigue strength verification plays an important role in their design. In general, the nominal stress method is used for the fatigue verification of the most common used butt-welded joints. The Eurocode 3 part 1–9 is the current design standard for this field of application. This paper presents recent results of fatigue tests on small-scaled specimens and large components with transverse butt welds to discuss the validity of the FAT-class. Furthermore, results from numerical simulations for the verification with the effective notch stress and the crack propagation approach are used for comparison. Based on the consistency between the numerical results and the fatigue tests, the influence of the seam geometry on the fatigue resistance was investigated. Finally, a prediction of the fatigue strength of butt-welded joints with plate thicknesses up to 80 mm was carried out.

T1 - Guideline for the strategic application of monitoring of road bridges in Germany N2 - Engineering structures are an important part of our transport infrastructure. Their failure is associated with high safety risks and economic damage. Ensuring the availability of these constructions and guaranteeing their operational safety are thus important tasks. Currently, maintenance of engineering structures is a reactive process and therefore not yet a predictive process. Every 3 to 6 years, the structures are visually inspected, all damages are documented and a condition grade is assigned to the structure based on the detected damages. Continuous data-providing methods such as monitoring are used only very occasionally. With the help of monitoring, condition data about the structures are continuously collected, which can be used for a better assessment of the structures. On the one hand, this would increase safety of engineering structures, and on the other hand, it makes the shift towards predictive maintenance management based on real-time data and predictions, where the onset of damage is detected before it occurs, possible in the first place. Monitoring plays therefore an important role in the management of the infrastructure. It is a crucial a step towards the digitalisation of our infrastructure and existing processes. Although there are many use cases for monitoring that have already been successfully implemented, monitoring is not yet widely used by German road authorities due to several challenges that were also identified within the scope of the project. Therefore, a guide has been developed in which the current obstacles related to monitoring are identified and possibilities for integrating monitoring into existing processes are offered. To ensure optimal alignment with the needs of road authorities, both an online survey and a workshop have been conducted. The results are summarised in a brochure that is made available to authorities to improve the use of monitoring in Germany. This paper presents the guideline and the brochure.

Towers of onshore wind turbines are often designed as hybrid structures: the lower part is made of prestressed concrete whereas the upper part is made of steel tubes. The tall structures are permanently subjected to cyclic loads. A research project of BAM as part of the joint project WinConFat - Structure focusses on the evelopment of techniques to monitor fatigue damage evolution in the concrete part. Results of a previous project show that a combination of ultrasonic and acoustic emission testing can give an indication for critical conditions near the end of the fatigue life of the concrete. In the ongoing project acoustic emission sensors have been installed at the base and at the transition piece between concrete and steel of a hybrid wind turbine tower. Beside of acoustic emission measurement the sensor spacing allows for measuring the concrete ultrasonic velocity along the circumference in both levels. Additional measurements like strain, temperature, inclination, or acceleration allow for comparison of environmental loads and change of acoustic properties of the concrete. The paper focusses on first acoustic measurements recorded since December 2023 in comparison to operating data of the wind turbine.

A1 - Strangfeld, Christoph T1 - Moisture behaviour of earth block masonry under natural climate conditions – experimental and numerical studies N2 - The compressive stength of unstabilised earth masonry depends on the moisture content. Knowledge of the moisture content is necessary in order to be able to account for the impact of moisture on the structural design of earth block masonry. For conventional building materials it is possible to precisely forecast the component moisture according to the layered structure on the basis of hygrothermal simulations. However , it is still not clear to what degree these numerical calculations can offer valid results for earth building materials. Earth building materials have a number of special properties related to moisture storage and moisture transport that differ significantly from the physical simplifications that are a component of existing material models. The swelling and shrinking of earth materials and their organic components results in changes to the pore space, the sorption behaviour exhibits a clear hysteresis, and the experimental determination of hygrothermal parameters in continuous contact with liquid water is almost impossible. To adequately forecast the moisture content of earth block masonry under natural climate conditions, extensive investigations of the moisture behaviour of load-bearing earth block masonry have been carried out within the framework of this project. These efforts began with the performance of magnetic resonance spectroscopic tests on two load-bearing earth blocks, in order to quantify the adsorption and desorption processes at relative humidities of between 50 % and 90 % under controlled, isothermal laboratory conditions. Once this had been done, a modified test setup was used to determine the water absorption coefficient , from which the liquid transport coefficients were derived. Based on the hygrothermal parameters values that were thus determined, the model was calibrated using the WUFI software program [7]. Finally, long-term moisture measurements were conducted on an earth block masonry wall that was ex-Increasing shortages of raw materials and rising energy prices are resulting in continuous growth in the demand for earth construction. In comparison to conventional building materials, earth building materials offer three significant advantages that have become even more important in light of the energy crisis in 2021 and the associated increase in the price of building supplies by approx. 40 percent [1]. Firstly, water solubility makes it possible to fully separate and recover all of the material components, and in particular the sand component. Secondly, energy-intensive firing processes, such as those required for cement production or brick manufacture, are eliminated. And thirdly, earth is a local raw material that is available in large quantities [1]. However, the load-bearing capacity of earth building materials is very much dependent on the moisture content. An increase in the relative humidity results in a reduction in the clay mineral cohesion , and this in turn results in a decline in both the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity. In this regard, the mechanical properties of earth block masonry change in inverse proportion to the relative humidity. In other words, with every percentage point increase in relative humidity, both the compressive strength and the modulus of elasticity decline by one percent [2] [4]. The internal walls of heated living areas are generally only subject to relatively small fluctuations in relative humidity (between 40 % and 60 %) [5], and short periods in excess of these levels (such as in bathrooms or kitchens) only lead to a significant increase in the moisture content of the uppermost layers [6]. Exterior walls, on the other hand, are subject to large seasonal fluctuations in temperate climates, with a relative humidity in excess of 90 % in winter months. However, the exterior walls of heated living areas must be insulated in accordance with the German Buildings Energy Act (GEG), and with masonry this is generally done us T2 - LEHM 2024 – 9.

T1 - Ballistic limit and damage assessment of hybrid fibre-reinforced cementitious thin composite plates under impact loading N2 - Impact resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be significantly improved by strengthening RC members with thin composite layers featuring high damage tolerance. Indeed, to limit the well-known vulnerability of cement-based materials against impact loading, the synergistic effects of short fibres and continuous textile meshes as hybrid reinforcement has been proved to be highly beneficial. This paper addresses the characterisation of novel cement-based hybrid composites through accelerated drop-weight impact tests conducted on rectangular plates at different impact energies. Two distinct matrices are assessed, with particular interest in a newly developed limestone calcined clay cement (LC3)-based formulation. Important parameters quantifying energy dissipation capability, load bearing capacity and damage are cross-checked to compute the ballistic limit and estimate the safety-relevant characteristics of the different composites at hand. Although textiles alone can improve the damage tolerance of fine concrete to some extent, the crack-bridging attitude of short, well-dispersed fibres in hybrid composites imparts a certain ductility to the cement-based matrices, allowing a greater portion of the textile to be activated and significantly reducing the amount of matrix spalling under impact.

In particular, the structural safety of the confinements of nuclear power plants against a possible aircraft impact is essential to ensure the safety of inhabitants and environment. This article presents research results of hard impact on reinforced concrete slabs, which have been carried out at the Institute of Concrete Structures (IMB) at TUD Dresden University of Technology Technische Universität (TU Dresden). A specially designed drop tower is available for this purpose on the premises of the Otto Mohr Laboratory of TU Dresden. In the framework of a research project many reinforced concrete slabs of dimension 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.2 m³ were tested by hard impact. The investigation on some already carried out impact tests on reinforced concrete slabs intend to show the range of deviation of impact tests. In particular, the possible standard deviations that should be regarded in impact tests are estimated for the applied test setup. Furthermore, the residual structural capacity of an undamaged and damaged reinforced concrete slab has been investigated.

A1 - Hille, Falk T1 - Detecting changes in boundary conditions based on sensitivity-based statistical tests N2 - Structural health monitoring is a promising technology to automatically detect structural changes based on permanently installed sensors. Vibration-based methods that evaluate the global system response to ambient excitation are suited to diagnose changes in boundary conditions, i.e., changes in member prestress or imposed displacements. In this paper, these changes are evaluated based on sensitivity-based statistical tests, which are capable of detecting and localizing parametric structural changes. The main contribution is the analytical calculation of sensitivity vectors for changes in boundary conditions (i.e., changes in prestress or support conditions) based on stress stiffening, and the combination with a numerically efficient algorithm, i.e., Nelson’s method. One of the main advantages of the employed damage diagnosis algorithm is that, although it uses physical models for damage detection, it considers the uncertainty in the data-driven features, which enables a reliabilitybased approach to determine the probability of detection. Moreover, the algorithm can be trained and the probability of detecting future damages can be predicted based on data and a model from the undamaged structure, in an unsupervised learning mode, making it particularly relevant for unique structures, where no data from the damaged state is available. For proof of concept, a numerical case study is presented. The study assesses the loss of prestress in a two-span reinforced concrete beam and showcases suitable validation approaches for the sensitivity calculation.

Da bisher allerdings keine Messdaten zum Feuchtegehalt von Lehmsteinmauerwerk unter natürlichen Klimabedingungen vorliegen, stellen die normativen Grenzwerte lediglich eine konservative Abschätzung dar. Um die Feuchtegehalte von Lehmsteinmauerwerk und somit die Tragfähigkeit realitätsnah einschätzen zu können, wurden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit sowohl experimentelle als auch numerische Untersuchungen zum feuchtetechnischen Verhalten durchgeführt. Dabei wurden erstmalig magnetresonanzspektroskopische Untersuchungen an tragenden Lehmsteinen unterschiedlicher Herstellungsmethoden angewandt Weiterhin wurden Luftfeuchtesensoren in Lehmsteinmauerwerk eingebettet, um hygrische Langzeitfeuchtemessungen unter natürlichen Klimabedingungen durchzuführen. Auf Basis dieser Erkenntnisse wurde schließlich ein numerisches Modell kalibriert und Parameterstudien durchgeführt, um den unter realen Klimabedingungen tatsächlich auftretenden Feuchtegehalt im Lehmmauerwerk sowie dessen Verteilung über den Querschnitt einschätzen zu können und die normativen Grenzwerte zu überprüfen. Gezeigt wurde, dass die realitätsnahe instationäre Berechnung des Feuchtetransports mit üblichen hygrothermischen Simulationsprogrammen auf Basis einfacher feuchtetechnischer Kennwerte auch bei Lehmbaustoffen möglich ist. Der Einfluss des Quellens und Schwindens der enthaltenen Tonminerale und organischen Bestandteile wurde durch eine Modifikation bei der Ermittlung des Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten explizit berücksichtigt und ist somit auch in den daraus abgeleiteten Transportkoeffizienten enthalten. Darüber hinaus wurde die Feuchtespeicherfunktion im überhygroskopischen Bereich auf Grundlage der Porenvolumenverteilung abgeschätzt. Die Approximation der Transportkoeffizienten und der Feuchtespeicherfunktion stellt dabei eine wesentliche Vereinfachung für Lehmbaustoffe dar, da ihre experimentelle Bestimmung aufgrund des Kontaktes mit Flüssigwasser kaum möglich ist. In Bezug auf das Feuchteverhalten üblicher Außenwandaufbauten von Wohnräumen konnte festgestellt werden, dass die Ausgleichsfeuchte im Lehmsteinmauerwerk stets unterhalb des in Nutzungsklasse 1 gemäß DIN 18940 zulässigen Grenzwertes von 65 % liegt. Je nach Putzsystem und Dämmstoff reduziert sich die Ausgleichsfeuchte auf Werte unter 60 %, wobei sich eine annähernd gleichmäßige Verteilung der Feuchte über den Mauerwerksquerschnitt hinweg einstellt. Bei Außenwänden von unbeheizten Räumen ergab sich eine maximale Ausgleichsfeuchte, die über weite Teile des Querschnitts unterhalb von 80 % lag. Der Ansatz einer maximalen Ausgleichsfeuchte von 90 % in Nutzungsklasse 2 ist folglich zu hoch angesetzt. Die zulässige Ausgleichsfeuchte bzw. der Umgebungsfeuchtefaktor in Nutzungsklasse 2 sollte dementsprechend angepasst werden. T2 - LEHM 2024 - 9.

It is based on experimental and numerical investigations into the mechanical load-bearing behaviour at both material and component level. As the mechanical parameters of earth building materials are strongly dependent on material moisture, the moisture behaviour of rammed earth is also being investigated in more detail.

This is a consequence of the great variability of the physical properties resulting from the wide adaptability of reinforced concrete and a consequence of the wide range of impact loading. Experiments and numerical investigations are normally used on a small scale to address the problem. In this paper, impact tests on reinforced conrete plates with the lateral dimensions of 1.5 m x 1.5 m and a thickness of 30 cm are presented. In bending reinforcement, besides the velocity two properties are varied, the diameter and the spatial distribution of the rebars. Experiments are performed at the Otto-Mohr-Laboratory of the Institute of Concrete Structures of the Technische Universit¨at Dresden. Due to the accelerated fall of the impactor the velocity ranges between 20 and 70 m/s. In addition to the measured quantities such as bearing forces, accelerations are also measured at 4 different positions on and under the plate, as well as the deflection at several positions. The measured data are used for the analysis of the damage form and the numerical examinations with the program Ansys Autodyn and the material model after Drucker-Prager. Numerical investigations support the tests, with detailed analysis of individual effects. These numerical computations and the planar tomographic investigations were carried out at BAM in Berlin. With the help of planar tomographic evaluation, the damaged structure is made visible and compared with the numerical results. Influences of the bending reinforcement are explained on the basis of damage evaluation in the local area and on selected measured values. In addition to the test evaluation, the tomographic and numerical methods are presented.

Wichtige Bewertungsparameter sind globale Systemeigenschaften, wie z. B. Eigenfrequenzen, zu deren Bestimmung Beschleunigungssensoren eingesetzt werden. Häufig werden sog. MEMS-Sensoren (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) verwendet, die jedoch ein hohes Rauschniveau aufweisen. Alternativ können rauschärmere IEPE-Sensoren (Integrated Electronics Piezo Electric) eingesetzt werden, die auch bei geringster Strukturanregung Schwingungen zuverlässig erfassen. Ferner besteht das Problem, dass Änderungen der Eigenfrequenzen infolge Bauwerksschädigung schwer von Änderungen der Eigenfrequenzen infolge Umwelteinflüssen zu unterscheiden sind. Letztere verändern die Eigenschaften der Struktur und die des Messsystems. Um Umwelteinflüsse auf das Messsystem im Anwendungsgebiet Ingenieurbau zu untersuchen, wurden IEPE-Beschleunigungsaufnehmer hinsichtlich ihres Übertragungsverhaltens im niederfrequenten Beschleunigungsbereich analysiert. Es zeigt sich, dass das Verhalten nicht nur frequenz-, sondern auch temperaturabhängig ist, während die Luftfeuchte keinen Einfluss hat. Diese für das Bauwerk unbedenklichen Einflüsse müssen für eine robuste Zustandsüberwachung kompensiert werden. Für die Anwendung im Ingenieurbau werden IEPE-Sensoren empfohlen, da sie ein hohes Signal-zu-Rausch-Verhältnis aufweisen und niederfrequente Bauwerksschwingungen zuverlässig erfassen. N2 - Acceleration sensors for structural health monitoring of engineering structures under the influence of environmental factors at low frequencies. Structural health monitoring (SHM) is increasingly used to continuously assess the condition of engineering structures. Important assessment parameters are global system properties, such as eigenfrequency, which are measured by accelerometers. Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors are often used, but have a high noise level. Alternatively, low-noise IEPE (integrated electronics piezo electric) sensors can be used, which reliably detect vibrations even with the slightest structural excitation. Another problem is that changes in eigenfrequency due to structural damage are difficult to distinguish from changes in eigenfrequency due to environmental effects. The latter change the properties of both the structure and the measurement system. In order to investigate environmental effects on the measurement system in the field of civil engineering, IEPE accelerometers have been analyzed for their transmission behavior in the low-frequency acceleration range. It was found that the behavior is not only frequency dependent, but also temperature dependent, while humidity has no influence. These nonstructural effects must be compensated for to ensure robust condition monitoring. IEPE sensors are recommended for civil engineering applications because of their high signal-to-noise ratio and ability to reliably detect low-frequency structural vibrations.

T1 - Reinforcement bar and reinforcement bar splicing systems under impact loading – Experimental tests and test specification N2 - Reinforced concrete is a widely used material for power generation structures, where load scenarios like impact loadings need to be considered. In this context mechanical splicing systems for the connection of reinforcement bars are of specific interest and impact resistance for the splicing systems has to be verified. High speed tensile tests need to be performed on splicing systems for reinforcement bars to confirm the capability of the coupler to resist impact loading. Furthermore, the ability of the reinforcement steel to dissipate energy by ductile behaviour with pronounced plastic strains should be confirmed by these tests. During the last decades comprehensive experiences were developed at BAM performing high speed tensile tests on reinforcement bars as well as on several splicing systems. For the lack of available standards defining these tests in detail an appropriate test procedure was developed and continuously optimized during this period at BAM. The test procedure is partially based on testing principles adapted from available standards. The main intention behind this test procedure is to perform high-speed tensile tests with a specific constant strain rate generated at the specimen. Furthermore, main objective was to establish a procedure to guarantee the comparability of test results for different diameter of reinforcement as well as for different types of couplers. Besides the pure execution of the high-speed tensile tests, the test specification also declares how to evaluate the measurements and the test results. Finally, some typical results will be presented in this contribution.

But these structures require the welding of a large number of joints. The design of the Jacket structures is typically driven by fatigue. Therefore, consequently the fatigue strength of the joints is a primary parameter for an optimized design. The present paper investigates if tubular joints produced by manual welding using the current techniques have an improved performance compared to the relevant standards that are applied for the design of the foundations. To investigate this, 4 full-scale tests in geometry representative of a structure were performed, 2 using a resonance method and 2 using a three-point bending method with hydraulic actuators. The results are similar, with cracks initiated early and extending extensively before failure. The results are very close to the current T-curve from DNV RP-C203 applied for tubular joints.

Typically, it is a two-stage evaluation process consisting of a physical inspection of the structure and an analytical part to compare the design and actually experienced loading conditions. Structural health monitoring helps to reduce the uncertainties in the estimations by providing insight into deviations between the designed and the built structure. Furthermore, it allows the evaluation of the consumed fatigue lifetime by analyzing the strain measurements that mirror the actual structural response to experienced environmental and operational conditions. However, the measurement values are limited to a sparse number of instrumented spots on the structure, and further extrapolation to the non-instrumented (critical) sections is required to perform a complete fatigue assessment. One known approach is the external force reconstruction, which has only scarcely been considered for application in offshore wind turbines. In order to extend the previously developed thrust force reconstruction framework, this work discusses the possibilities and challenges of wind and wave loading reconstruction in offshore wind turbine support structures.

N2 - Digital twins will become an integral part of the operation and maintenance management of traffic bridges in the future. This paper argues that they should not only be understood as digital representations of physical structures but as a digital methodology that enhances the operation and maintenance of bridges through the integration of data collection, maintenance actions, data management, structural assessment, and decision support. In this context, it is emphasized that the transition from reactive to predictive maintenance using digital twins can only be achieved if, in addition to the necessary diagnostic and prognostic condition analyses, methods for optimizing decisions on data collection and maintenance actions are also implemented. To illustrate this discussion, two key components of a digital twin for the operation and maintenance management of traffic bridges are demonstrated using a railway bridge as an example. First, it is shown how monitoring data can be systematically managed and made available for subsequent analyses through a data management system. Second, train identification based on measured sleeper vibrations is conducted as part of an object-specific load assessment.

N2 - Infrastructure systems of industrialised countries today and in the future require efficient management with an ageing stock, increasing loads while simultaneously maintaining a high level of safety. Digital technologies offer great potential for the current and future challenges in infrastructure management. The BMBF-funded project AISTEC is investigating how the individual technologies and their interconnection can be used beneficially. With the Maintalbrücke in Gemünden as an exemplary application, sensor-based structural monitoring, image-based inspection using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) equipped with cameras and the integration of digital structural models are being implemented. The recorded images serve, among others, as basis for subsequent anomaly detection and a 3D reconstruction, which in turn are used for updating digital structural models. Continuously recorded sensor data is used to update the parameters of the structural models, which in turn provide the basis for predictive maintenance. Load tests are used to validate the models.

Our group measured output-only vibration data from one box girder under ambient conditions. From the data, we determined eigenfrequencies and mode shapes. In parallel, we developed a preliminary structural model of the box girder for the purpose of predicting its modal properties. In this contribution, we provide an overview of the measurement campaign, the operational modal analysis, the structural modeling and qualitatively compare the identified with the predicted modes. As an outlook, we discuss the further steps in the calibration process and future applications of the calibrated model.

Anprallereignisse können verschiedenster Natur sein. Hierzu zählen Steinschlag, Fahrzeug- oder Flugzeuganprall oder auch Geschosseinschlag. Geschosseinschläge bzw. Bei den Anprall- oder Impaktereignissen wird zwischen hartem und weichem Anprall unterschieden, bei hartem Anprall verformt sich der Anprallkörper nicht oder nur geringfügig, bei weichem Anprall stark. In diesem Artikel werden Forschungsergebnisse zum harten Anprall auf bewehrte Stahlbetonplatten vorgestellt, welche über die letzten Jahre im Rahmen eines Kooperationsprojekts zwischen dem Institut für Massivbau (IMB) der Technischen Universität Dresden (TUD) und der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) durchgeführt wurden. Auf dem Gelände des Otto-Mohr-Labors (OML) der TUD steht hierfür ein speziell konzipierter Fallturm zur Verfügung. Der Aufbau im Fallturm lässt aktuell druckluftbeschleunigte Impaktversuche mit mittleren Anprallgeschwindigkeiten zu. Die durch Anprall geschädigten Stahlbetonplatten wurden anschließend bei der BAM mit Strahlung tomographisch untersucht. Diese Untersuchungen ermöglichen einen Blick auf die Schädigung und Rissstruktur im Inneren der Stahlbetonplatten. Ein Schwerpunkt der durchgeführten Untersuchung ist der Vergleich von Testergebnissen mit den häufig angewendeten halbempirischen Berechnungsmethoden zu den erforderlichen Wandstärken und den sich daraus ergebenden zulässigen Anprallgeschwindigkeiten. Bei diesem Vorgehen wird auch die mit analytischen Methoden abschätzbare Durchdringungsgeschwindigkeit bzw. Austrittgeschwindigkeit eines Projektils ermittelt und mit den realen Testergebnissen verglichen. Außerdem wird der Einfluss von sowohl externen als auch internen Strukturparametern auf Risse betrachtet und ein Fazit abgeleitet. Weiterhin werden laufende und zukünftige wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Anprall auf Betonstrukturen am IMB und der BAM genannt. T2 - 18.

Observation of welded connections is especially of high relevance due to their higher susceptibility to fatigue damage. The aim of this contribution was to monitor fatigue crack growth in thick welded specimens during fatigue tests as holistically as possible, by implementing multiple NDT methods simultaneously in order to record the crack initiation and propagation until the final fracture. In addition to well-known methods such as strain gauges, thermography, and ultrasound, the crack luminescence method developed at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), which makes cracks on the surface particularly visible, was also used. For data acquisition, a first data fusion concept was developed and applied in order to synchronize the data of the different methods and to evaluate them to a large extent automatically. The resulting database can ultimately also be used to access, view, and analyze the experimental data for various NDT methods. During the conducted fatigue tests, the simultaneous measurements of the same cracking process enabled a comprehensive comparison of the methods, highlighting their individual strengths and limitations. More importantly, they showed how a synergetic combination of different NDT methods can be beneficial for implementation in large-scale fatigue testing but also in monitoring and inspection programs of in-service structures - such as the support structures of offshore wind turbines.

T1 - Luminescence-based early detection of fatigue cracks N2 - Classic non-destructive fatigue crack detection methods reveal the state of the fatigue damage evolution at the moment of application, generally not under operational conditions. The here introduced crack luminescence method realizes a clear visibility of the occurred and growing crack in loaded components during operation. Different established experiments show that due to the sensitive coating a crack Formation can be detected even in early stage under the premise the crack reached the surface. The coating consists of two layers with different properties and functions. The bottom layer emits light as fluorescence under UV radiation. The top layer covers the fluorescing one and prevents the emitting of light in case of no damage at the surface.

It is expected that crack luminescence can increase structural safety as well as reduce costs and time for inspections and preventive maintenance.

At the same time, methods and tools are emerging, which enable monitoring-informed predictive maintenance of new and existing bridges based on digital twins. The monitoring process – starting from the definition of monitoring actions and ending with decisions based on monitoring outcomes – is complex and requires expertise in structural engineering, operation and maintenance of bridges, metrology, and data analytics. To support German road authorities, engineering consultancies, building contractors and other stakeholders of the bridge management, the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) has initiated the development of a new guideline for applying SHM as part of the management of road bridges. The guideline will present various use cases and for each identified use case, it will propose a proven monitoring scheme. In addition, the guideline will provide guidance on assessing the benefits of SHM as well as a common approach to managing monitoring data as a systematic basis for integrating monitoring data in the bridge management. This contribution discusses the motivation, objectives, and scope of the guideline, describes its use case centric structure and outlines the proposed data management.

Data from structural health monitoring (SHM) systems can be utilized to detect and characterize potential damage. However, environmental and operational variations impair the identification of damages from SHM data. Motivated by this, we introduce a Bayesian probabilistic framework for building models and identifying damage in monitored structures subject to environmental variability. The novelty of our work lies (a) in explicitly considering the effect of environmental influences and potential structural damages in the modeling to enable more accurate damage identification and (b) in proposing a methodological workflow for model‐based structural health monitoring that leverages model class selection for model building and damage identification. The framework is applied to a progressively damaged reinforced concrete beam subject to temperature variations in a climate chamber. Based on deflections and inclinations measured during diagnostic load tests of the undamaged structure, the most appropriate modeling approach for describing the temperature‐dependent behavior of the undamaged beam is identified. In the damaged state, damage is characterized based on the identified model parameters. The location and extent of the identified damage are consistent with the cracks observed in the laboratory. A numerical study with synthetic data is used to validate the parameter identification. The known true parameters lie within the 90% highest density intervals of the posterior distributions of the model parameters, suggesting that this approach is reliable for parameter identification. Our results indicate that the proposed framework can answer the question of damage identification under environmental variations. These findings show a way forward in integrating SHM data into the management of infrastructures.

Bridges are classic disruption points on a railway track. If bridge superstructures are dynamically excited by train traffic, the vertical accelerations of the track must be considered. For a ballasted track, this can lead to the destabilization of the ballast track, as the bridge superstructure acts like a vibrating table. In this respect, the paper explains in more detail what is meant by destabilization, when this destabilization occurs and how various influencing parameters such as acceleration amplitude, the vibration sequence and frequency affect its occurrence. In the InBridge4EU project, gaps in knowledge such as the effect of single impulse loads are being investigated experimentally. A new test facility has been set up for this purpose, the initial results of which are presented here. An essential element in the assessment of this scenario is the stability of the track under high compression forces with simultaneous dynamic excitation of the superstructure. A new approach for the assessment of bridge vibrations with respect to lateral stability is presented.

The used digital smart sensor with pre-processing functions, the arrangement of the sensors at the structure and additional edge computing capability allows the investigation of transfer learning and other methods directly into the real structure. The living lab with seven triaxial accelerometers can be reconfigured in real-time and adjusted to the needs of AI models for classification. The comparison with the existing conventional SHM sensors has been made possible by hardware synchronization to the existing SHM System and collocating sensors at similar positions, so that a hardware exchange can be an investigated use-case for the transfer learning.

SHM is a method to examining and monitoring the dynamic behavior of essential constructions. Because of its versatility in detecting unfavorable structural changes and enhancing structural dependability and life cycle management, it has been extensively used in many engineering domains, especially in civil bridges. Due to the recent technical developments in sensors, high-speed internet, and cloud computing, data-driven approaches to structural health monitoring are gaining appeal. Since artificial intelligence (AI), especially in SHM, was introduced into civil engineering, these modern and promising methods have attracted significant research attention. In this work, a large dataset of acceleration time series using digital sensors was collected by installing a structural health monitoring (SHM) system on Nibelungen Bridge located in Worms, Germany. In this paper, a deep learning model is developed for accurate classification of different types of vehicle movement on the bridge from the data obtained from accelerometers. The neural network is trained with key features extracted from the acceleration dataset and classification accuracy of 98 % was achieved.

In this contribution, we present a probabilistic physics-based fatigue deterioration model of a wind farm that accounts for the stochastic dependence among the fatigue behavior of different hotspots at turbine and wind farm level. The dependence exists because of uncertain common influencing factors such as similar material properties, fabrication qualities and load conditions. These system effects signify that an inspection of one hotspot provides indirect information of the condition of the remaining hotspots and thus enable an optimization of the inspection effort for a wind farm. The wind farm model consists of two levels: A turbine support structure (level 1 system model) is represented by its fatigue hotspots and their stochastic dependence. The fatigue performance of a hotspot is described by a probabilistic fracture mechanics (FM) fatigue model. The probabilistic model of the parameters of the FM fatigue model is calibrated based on design data and is thus directly linked to the design of the turbine support structures. Dependence among the fatigue performances of different hotspots in a turbine support structure is modeled by introducing correlations between the stochastic parameters of the FM fatigue models. A wind farm (level 2 system model) consists of different turbine support structures (level 1 system models). Additional correlations are introduced at wind farm level to account for the dependence among the fatigue behavior of hotspots belonging to different turbine support structures. The wind farm model enables the computation of (marginal) hotspot fatigue reliabilities, system fatigue reliabilities of individual turbine support structures and the system fatigue reliability of an entire wind farm. The probabilistic model of the parameters of the two-level system model can be consistently updated with inspection outcomes using Bayesian methods. The updated probabilistic model of the model parameters then forms the basis for updating the estimates of the fatigue reliabilities. We implement the wind farm model in a software tool named SysPark. The tool provides the means for planning inspections at wind farm level using an adaptive reliability-based threshold approach. In this approach, the first inspection campaign is planned in the year before the fatigue failure rates of the hotspots with the lowest fatigue reliabilities exceed a threshold failure rate. Once inspection results become available, the probabilistic model of the parameters of the wind farm model is updated. If repairs are performed, the wind farm model is additionally modified to describe the behavior of the repaired hotspots. The updated and modified model then enables the planning of the next inspection campaign and so on. The software tool is demonstrated in a case study considering a generic wind farm consisting of turbines with jacket support structures.

The corresponding damage processes within the material structure are especially not entirely investigated. The application of acoustic measurement methods enables a better insight into the processes of the fatigue in concrete. Normal strength concrete was investigated under compressive cyclic loading with regard to the fatigue process by using acoustic methods in combination with other nondestructive measurement methods. Acoustic emission and ultrasonic signal measurements were applied together with measurements of strains, elastic modulus, and static strength. It was possible to determine the anisotropic character of the fatigue damage caused by uniaxial loading based on the ultrasonic measurements. Furthermore, it was observed that the fatigue damage seems to consist not exclusively of load parallel oriented crack structures. Rather, crack structures perpendicular to the load as well as local compacting are likely components of the fatigue damage. Additionally, the ultrasonic velocity appears to be a good indicator for fatigue damage beside the elastic modulus. It can be concluded that acoustic methods allow an observation of the fatigue process in concrete and a better understanding, especially in combination with further measurement methods.

Structural changes can be inferred from static and/or dynamic response data measured by structural health monitoring systems. However, they may be masked by variations in the structural response due to varying environmental conditions. Particularly, the interaction of nominally load-bearing components with nominally non-load bearing components exhibiting characteristics that vary as a function of the environmental conditions can significantly affect the monitored structural response. Ignoring these effects may hamper an inference of structural changes from the monitoring data. To address this issue, we adopt a probabilistic model-based framework as a basis for developing digital twins of structural systems that enable a prediction of the structural behavior under varying ambient condition. Within this framework, different types of data obtained from real the structural system can be applied to update the digital twin of the structural system using Bayesian methods and thus enhance predictions of the structural behavior. In this contribution, we implement the framework to develop a digital twin of a simply supported steel beam with an asphalt layer. It is formulated such that it can predict the static response of the beam in function of its temperature. In a climate chamber, the beam was subject to varying temperatures and its static response wass monitored. In addition, tests are performed to determine the temperature-dependent properties of the asphalt material. Bayesian system identification is applied to enhance the predictive capabilities of the digital twin based on the observed data.

Am Fallturm auf dem Testgelände Technische Sicherheit (TTS) der BAM wurde bei Routineinspektionen eine Abnahme der strukturellen Integrität in Form von Vorspannungsverlusten in den Bolzen der Stahlverbindungen festgestellt. Um ein Verständnis für die zugrundeliegenden Trag- und Schädigungsmechanismen zu erlangen, wurde ein umfassendes Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) System geplant und am Bauwerk installiert unter Nutzung von digitalen Bauwerksmodellen. Für die Auslegung des Überwachungssystems, insbesondere aber zur Unterstützung der Untersuchung des Schädigungsprozesses, wurden Finite-Elemente-Modelle erstellt. Um sicherzustellen, dass die FE-Modelle das reale Tragwerksverhalten mit ausreichender Genauigkeit abbilden, mussten sie jedoch in Bezug auf die gemessenen Antworten des Tragwerks kalibriert werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt experimentelle und numerische Untersuchungen zur Identifizierung des strukturellen Systems des Stahlrohrgitterturms in Vorbereitung einer Überwachungskampagne. Die Auswertung von gemessenen Schwingungen unter ambienter Anregung ermöglichte die Identifizierung der Eigenfrequenzen mehrerer globaler Schwingungsmoden des Fallturms. Zur Modellvalidierung wurde zunächst eine Sensitivitätsanalyse durchgeführt, um die Parameter mit dem größten Einfluss zu ermitteln. Anschließend wurde ein evolutionärer Algorithmus (EA) zur Optimierung nach dem Prinzip der Minimierung der Differenzen zwischen gemessenen und simulierten charakteristischen Antworten eingesetzt. Das aktualisierte Modell wurde schließlich an der dynamischen Reaktion der Turmstruktur infolge einer realen Falltest-induzierten Stoßbelastung validiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigten eine gute Übereinstimmung zwischen numerischen und experimentellen Ergebnissen. N2 - Drop test towers are structures subjected to very specific dynamic loadings. At the drop test tower at the Test Site Technical Safety (TTS) of BAM routine inspections revealed a decline of structural integrity in form of loss of pretension in bolts of structural steel connections. To get an understanding about the underlying damage mechanisms as well as to assure the structural safety in operation, a multifaceted Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system was planned and installed at the structure with the help of digital models. For planning the monitoring system but especially for supporting the investigation of the damaging process finite element models are deployed. Though, to ensure the capability of the FE model to reproduce the real structural behavior in sufficient accuracy, it needs to be calibrated in respect to measured responses of the structure. The present contribution describes experimental and numerical investigations to identify the structural system of the steel tube lattice tower in preparation of the monitoring campaign. An ambient vibration test allowed the identification of the natural frequencies of several global vibrational modes of the drop test tower. For model updating first a sensitivity analysis is applied to identify the most influencing parameter. In succession a genetic algorithm was applied for optimization in the sense of minimization of the difference between measured and simulated characteristic responses. The updated model is finally validated on the dynamic response of the tower structure to a real drop test induced impact loading. The results showed a good agreement between numerical and experimental results though the robustness of the simulation should be improved by more sophisticated numerical modelling. T2 - 7.

A validation of the physical accuracy of the solid–fluid coupling and the proposed mapping of complex geometries is presented.

We study the node-level performance of the automatically generated solver routines. 71% of the theoretical peak performance can be achieved on CPU nodes and 86% on GPU accelerated nodes. Only a moderate overhead is observed for the processing of the solid–fluid coupling when compared to the fluids simulations without moving objects. Finally, a counter-rotating open rotor is presented as a prototype industrial scenario, resulting in a mesh size involving up to 4.3 × 109 fluid grid cells. For this scenario, excellent parallel efficiency is reported in a strong scaling study on up to 32 768 CPU cores on the LUMI-C supercomputer and on up to 1024 NVIDIA A100 GPUs on the JUWELS Booster system.

Auf Basis dieser Erkenntnisse wurde schließlich ein numerisches Modell kalibriert und Parameterstudien durchgeführt, um den unter realen Klimabedingungen tatsächlich auftretenden Feuchtegehalt im Lehmmauerwerk sowie dessen Verteilung über den Querschnitt einschätzen zu können und die normativen Grenzwerte zu überprüfen. Gezeigt wurde, dass die realitätsnahe instationäre Berechnung des Feuchtetransports mit üblichen hygrothermischen Simulationsprogrammen auf Basis einfacher feuchtetechnischer Kennwerte auch bei Lehmbaustoffen möglich ist. Der Einfluss des Quellens und Schwindens der enthaltenen Tonminerale und organischen Bestandteile wurde durch eine Modifikation bei der Ermittlung des Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten explizit berücksichtigt und ist somit auch in den daraus abgeleiteten Transportkoeffizienten enthalten. Darüber hinaus wurde die Feuchtespeicherfunktion im überhygroskopischen Bereich auf Grundlage der Porenvolumenverteilung abgeschätzt. Die Approximation der Transportkoeffizienten und der Feuchtespeicherfunktion stellt dabei eine wesentliche Vereinfachung für Lehmbaustoffe dar, da ihre experimentelle Bestimmung aufgrund des Kontaktes mit Flüssigwasser kaum möglich ist. In Bezug auf das Feuchteverhalten üblicher Außenwandaufbauten von Wohnräumen konnte festgestellt werden, dass die Ausgleichsfeuchte im Lehmsteinmauerwerk stets unterhalb des in Nutzungsklasse 1 gemäß DIN 18940 zulässigen Grenzwertes von 65 % liegt. Je nach Putzsystem und Dämmstoff reduziert sich die Ausgleichsfeuchte auf Werte unter 60 %, wobei sich eine annähernd gleichmäßige Verteilung der Feuchte über den Mauerwerksquerschnitt hinweg einstellt. Bei Außenwänden von unbeheizten Räumen ergab sich eine maximale Ausgleichsfeuchte, die über weite Teile des Querschnitts unterhalb von 80 % lag. Der Ansatz einer maximalen Ausgleichsfeuchte von 90 % in Nutzungsklasse 2 ist folglich zu hoch angesetzt. Die zulässige Ausgleichsfeuchte bzw. der Umgebungsfeuchtefaktor in Nutzungsklasse 2 sollte dementsprechend angepasst werden T2 - LEHM 2024 – 9.

Um die Nutzungsdauer zu verlängern und plötzliche Schäden zu detektieren kann Bauwerksmonitoring ("Structural Health Monitoring") eingesetzt werden. Der Einfluss von Umgebungsbedingungen, beispielsweise der Temperatur, auf das Bauwerksverhalten ist meist größer als der Einfluss von Schäden. Diese Einflüsse bestmöglich voneinander zu trennen und Veränderungen im Tragverhalten korrekt Schäden oder Umgebungsbedingungen zuzuordnen ist eine offene Forschungsfrage. Diese Arbeit zeigt eine mögliche Lösung, bei der gekoppelte Modelle von Umwelteinflüssen, Schäden und Tragverhalten des Bauwerks auf Grundlage von Monitoringdaten aktualisiert werden. Das Framework dazu wird vorgestellt und an einem Laborexperiment eines Stahlbetonbalkens in der Klimakammer angewandt. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die Vorgehensweise.

Observation of welded connections is especially of high relevance due to their higher susceptibility to fatigue damage. The aim of this contribution was to monitor fatigue crack growth in thick welded specimens during fatigue tests as holistically as possible, by implementing multiple NDT methods simultaneously in order to record the crack initiation and propagation until the final fracture. In addition to well-known methods such as strain gauges, thermography, and ultrasound, the crack luminescence method developed at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), which makes cracks on the surface particularly visible, was also used. For data acquisition, a first data fusion concept was developed and applied in order to synchronize the data of the different methods and to evaluate them to a large extent automatically. The resulting database can ultimately also be used to access, view, and analyze the experimental data for various NDT methods. During the conducted fatigue tests, the simultaneous measurements of the same cracking process enabled a comprehensive comparison of the methods, highlighting their individual strengths and limitations. More importantly, they showed how a synergetic combination of different NDT methods can be beneficial for implementation in large-scale fatigue testing but also in monitoring and inspection programs of in-service structures - such as the support structures of offshore wind turbines.

When selecting the sensor setup, the designer of the monitoring system must assess its overall benefit compared to its costs before installation. The potential benefit of continuously monitoring the dynamic response of a jacket structure can be formally quantified through a value of information analysis from Bayesian decision theory. In this contribution, we present a framework for optimizing the placement of vibration sensors on offshore jacket structures by maximizing the value of information of the monitoring system. To solve the resulting discrete optimization problem, we adapt a genetic algorithm. The framework is demonstrated in a numerical example considering a redundant jacket-type steel frame. The numerical study shows that monitoring the vibration response of the frame is beneficial. Good sensor setups consist of relatively few sensors located towards the upper part of the frame. The adapted genetic algorithm performs similarly well as established sequential sensor placement algorithms and holds substantial promise for application to real jacket structures.

A combined experimental and numerical approach is utilized to study the influence of the bulge on the hot cracking formation and the transport of alloying elements in the molten pool. A technique using a quartz glass, a direct-diode laser illumination, a high-speed camera, and two thermal imaging cameras is applied to visualize the weld pool geometry in the longitudinal section. The study examines the relevance of the bulging effect on both, partial and complete penetration, as well as for different sheet thicknesses ranging from 8 mm to 25 mm. The numerical analysis shows that the formation of a bulge region is highly dependent on the penetration depth and occurs above 10 mm penetration depth. The location of the bulge correlates strongly with the cracking location. The obtained experimental and numerical results reveal that the bulging effect increases the hot cracking susceptibility and limits the transfer of alloying elements from the top of the weld pool to the weld root.

The results of incremental strain tests show that the crystallographic orientation has a considerable impact on the superelastic performance, eventually resulting from the formation of twinned or detwinned martensite to accommodate strain as well martensite variant interaction. In order to investigate the effect of a corrosive environment on the mechanical performance and martensitic transformation, compression specimens were immersed in a 5.0 wt.−% NaCl solution for 24 h before tested in incremental strain tests. The immersion of the compression specimens revealed a partial surface corrosion attack including localized pitting corrosion. The localized corrosion attack increased the number of active martensite plates, most probably due to an induced multiaxial stress state. Further investigations on specimens subjected to −6% compressive strain revealed that areas with retransformed martensite serve as nucleation zones for corrosion damage. Stress-induced corrosion cracks developed, which eventually deteriorate functional response.

However, such changes can also be caused by the effect of varying environmental conditions. To detect, localize and quantify changes or damages in structural systems subject to varying environmental conditions, physics-based models of the structural systems have to be applied which explicitly account for the influence of ambient conditions on the structural behavior. Data obtained from the structural systems should be used to calibrate the models and update predictions. Bayesian system identification is an effective framework for this task. In this paper, we apply this framework to learn the parameters of two competing structural models of a reinforced concrete beam subject to varying temperatures based on static response data. The models describe the behavior of the beam in the uncracked and cracked condition. The data is collected in a series of load tests in a climate chamber. Bayesian model class selection is then applied to infer the most plausible condition of the beam conditional on the available data.

T1 - Implementing a Structural Health Monitoring system using digital models of the BAM large drop test facility in Horstwalde N2 - At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) full scale specimens for nuclear transport and storage containers (casks) are tested for their structural integrity in a series of drop tests on the Test Site Technical Safety in Horstwalde, 50 km south of Berlin. These drop tests cause a major stress not only on the casks, but also on the steel tower structure of the test facility, itself. The load pattern makes the structure very interesting for detailed investigation. The focus of the monitoring lies on the bolted joints of the flange connections that are a typical connection for cylindrical elements if welding is technical or economical unfavorable. The definition of the monitoring takes was done by investigating the existing documents and inspection results accompanied by building an initial digital representation of the structure, consisting of two finite element (FE) models and a geometrical 3D point cloud representation. As a first step the structures behavior during static and dynamic loading was analyzed using measurement data and an updated numerical FE Model. The idea behind is to use models for a digital planning and operation/evaluation of the structural health monitoring. A static FE simulation and a dynamic FE simulation are generated, to investigate how the structure behaves under the load conditions.

Currently, inspection outcomes are generally not systematically recorded. This prevents their consistent handling and processing, which is a key requirement to enable an efficient structural integrity management. As part of the DiMoWind-Inspect project, a data model and reference designation system for such inspection results is developed to facilitate their identification, localization, quantification, tracing and linking throughout the lifetime of a wind farm and beyond. The inspection results together with structural health monitoring results and information on repairs form the basis for assessing and predicting the structural condition, estimating the remaining lifetime, and planning of future inspections, structural health monitoring, and repairs. As a basis for developing a digital structural integrity management, a generic framework is proposed in this paper, which describes the stakeholders, data, models, processes and workflows of the integrity management of support structures in offshore wind farms and their interrelations. The framework adopts a building information modelling approach to describe the information relevant to the structural integrity management. The central digital space of the framework is a common data environment. An implementation of the framework will enable a digital structural integrity management in which inspection, structural health monitoring, repair, assessment and planning outcomes generated throughout the life cycle of a wind farm can be consistently collected, managed, shared and processed by the relevant shareholders.

This prevents their consistent handling and processing, which is a key requirement to enable an efficient structural integrity management. As part of the DiMoWind-Inspect project, a data model and reference designation system for such inspection results is developed to facilitate their identification, localization, quantification, tracing and linking throughout the lifetime of a wind farm and beyond. The inspection results together with structural health monitoring results and information on repairs form the basis for assessing and predicting the structural condition, estimating the remaining lifetime, and planning of future inspections, structural health monitoring, and repairs. As a basis for developing a digital structural integrity management, a generic framework is proposed in this paper, which describes the stakeholders, data, models, processes and workflows of the integrity management of support structures in offshore wind farms and their interrelations. The framework adopts a building information modelling approach to describe the information relevant to the structural integrity management. The central digital space of the framework is a common data environment. An implementation of the framework will enable a digital structural integrity management in which inspection, structural health monitoring, repair, assessment and planning outcomes generated throughout the life cycle of a wind farm can be consistently collected, managed, shared and processed by the relevant shareholders.

SHM is a method to examining and monitoring the dynamic behavior of essential constructions. Because of its versatility in detecting unfavorable structural changes and enhancing structural dependability and life cycle management, it has been extensively used in many engineering domains, especially in civil bridges. Due to the recent technical developments in sensors, high-speed internet, and cloud computing, data-driven approaches to structural health monitoring are gaining appeal. Since artificial intelligence (AI), especially in SHM, was introduced into civil engineering, these modern and promising methods have attracted significant research attention. In this work, a large dataset of acceleration time series using digital sensors was collected by installing a structural health monitoring (SHM) system on Nibelungen Bridge located in Worms, Germany. In this paper, a deep learning model is developed for accurate classification of different types of vehicle movement on the bridge from the data obtained from accelerometers. The neural network is trained with key features extracted from the acceleration dataset and classification accuracy of 98 % was achieved.

Parts of the research that involves this bridge as a demonstrator belong to the focus area program SPP100+. In this program, the bridges SHM System has been extended and combined with an additional setup of vibration sensors. The used digital smart sensor with pre-processing functions, the arrangement of the sensors at the structure and additional edge computing capability allows the investigation of transfer learning and other methods directly into the real structure. The living lab with seven triaxial accelerometers can be reconfigured in real-time and adjusted to the needs of AI models for classification. The comparison with the existing conventional SHM sensors has been made possible by hardware synchronization to the existing SHM System and collocating sensors at similar positions, so that a hardware exchange can be an investigated use-case for the transfer learning. During idle times, the system collects vibration data like a conventional SHM system.

If this containment is damaged by an impact event, such as an aircraft crash, the question arises to which degree the reinforced concrete containment still has its protective capability. This concerns both purely structural protection and protection against liquids penetrating the interior of the containment. Due to the dimensions of the containment structures, it is difficult to perform real scale impact experiments, so in the past decades plate geometries at medium scale have been used for investigations. Detailed investigations on the structural behaviour of RC members or RC plates subjected to impact loading have already been presented in Just et al., Hering, Hering et al., Bracklow et al., Hille et al. and Nerger et al. The following investigations deal with the single and multiple impact event (first hard impact and/or subsequent soft impact) on a RC specimen, which provides the basis for further investigations. A description of the test setup and the test procedure as well as a presentation of the test results from the impact tests are provided. Furthermore, the experimental program is presented, which the damaged RC specimens are to undergo to deal with the question of how much the impact-damaged RC structure has become permeable to liquid media, such as water and kerosene, depending on the intensity of the impact. The aim of these following investigations is to develop a test setup that can be applied to investigate the liquid penetration behaviour (LPB) of small, medium, and large-scale RC members. In addition to the liquid penetration experiments, the damaged specimens are to be examined by planar tomography to obtain the damage inside the specimen. The combination of damaging event, fluid penetration behaviour and tomography should enable a comprehensive understanding of the damage to the RC specimen.
