Due to the advancing digitalization in the construction industry, for example in the context of Building Information Modeling, computer-aided 3D modeling methods are increasingly being used in the planning of structures. These allow engineers to design components in free form. In reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and composite construction, the design of such components is currently still associated with great effort. In the context of the development of a practical method for the calculation of free-form concrete components, this paper presents a CAD-integrated method for the calculation of cross-section values. Cross-section values are required as an essential calculation basis when real, three-dimensional structural components are treated using simplified calculation theories, such as the beam theory. In this paper, the mathematical and numerical fundamentals of a method for the calculation of cross-section values of free-form concrete, reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, and compound components are presented. The calculation method is based on flat geometric regions described by Non-uniform Rational B-Spline tensor product surfaces, which can be extracted from solid models, for example.</p>","PeriodicalId":100248,"journal":{"name":"Civil Engineering Design","volume":"5 5-6","pages":"95-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cend.202300010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135823912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to steel reinforcement, it features two substantial benefits: It is not sensitive to corrosion, and has an enormously increased tensile strength. In contrast, carbon reinforcement is sensitive to lateral pressure and lacks the property of strain hardening. As a first step of establishing carbon reinforced concrete as a new building composite material, carbon reinforcement has basically served to replace the state-of-the-art steel reinforcement. This target led to pioneering findings with respect to determining the material properties of the composite and developing advanced individual components. However, barely substituting steel by carbon does not allow to fully utilize the carbon's benefits while its disadvantageous properties reveal the limits of this approach. Instead, novel design principles are required to meet the material's nature aiming at appropriately using its beneficial properties. Currently, new construction principles are being researched for high-performance building material combinations such as textile and carbon reinforced concrete. This paper provides an overview of baselines in the preliminary stages of this research. The overview includes history, inspiration, concrete matrices, non-metallic reinforcement, structural elements, modeling, production, tomography, and sustainability.

Especially vehicles with alternative types of drive, such as electrical vehicles, are increasing. This raises the question of whether modern vehicles, such as electric vehicles, lead to an increased fire risk as well as an increased heat release rate (HRR). In this article, a new fire design approach for modern vehicles is presented to evaluate the fire risk of electric vehicles compared to vehicles with combustion engines with respect to the fire resistance of the structural elements in open car parks. For this purpose, HRRs of different vehicles are analyzed and an approximated approach for modern vehicles is derived. The methodology can be used for performance-based design, where the HRR plays a fundamental role. Furthermore, modeling approaches of the vehicle dimensions are presented, which are based on statistical data of the German Federal Motor Transport Authority. The vehicle dimensions are used to determine the fire spread time between vehicles using a parameter study.

This made them a subject of extensive research and diverse applications both nationally and internationally. In 2004, Xu et al. started research on bond properties of TRC in China in cooperation with Hans-Wolf Reinhardt et al. from the University of Stuttgart in Germany. Since then, there have been numerous researches on TRC in China. This article introduces a calculation method for the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with TRC in China. For comparison, the dimensioning procedure in Germany is also presented. Subsequently, the two models are compared with each other in a case study.
