Colloquium
IBK Kolloquium: Raum abgrenzen - Vortrag von Konrad Merz

Kaum ein Baustoff hat ein so positives Image wie Holz. Das liegt nicht in erster Linie an seinen Eigenschaften, die für uns Ingenieure wichtig sind, sondern vielmehr an seinen ästhetischen und haptischen Qualitäten und der Tatsache, dass er uns von der Wiege bis zur Bahre in Form von Gegenständen wie Spielzeugen, Musikinstrumenten und anderen liebgewonnenen Alltagsgegenständen begleitet.

Cryospheric Monitoring Networks in Central Asia

Climate change is a challenge for humanity and the resulting global consequences will influence and endanger economies and livelihoods of coming generations. Strategies to improve climate resilience through adaptation must be based on sound baseline information, such as the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) defined by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). Currently, large gaps exist in the global climate observing system, particularly in high ...

Bausteine eines sicheren Talsperrenbetriebes - Erfahrungen, Überlegungen, Berechnungsansätze in Deutschland

Colloquium
Bausteine eines sicheren Talsperrenbetriebes - Erfahrungen, Überlegungen, Berechnungsansätze in Deutschland

Der Dimensionierung von Talsperren sowie deren Betriebseinrichtungen werden wie bei anderen großen Bauwerken Bemessungsereignisse zu Grunde gelegt, die in seltenen Extremfällen überschritten werden können. Somit verbleibt ein Risiko, welches bewertet und eingegrenzt werden muss. Bei Talsperren kommt erschwerend hinzu, dass verschiedene Eingangswerte für die Bemessung (z. B. Hochwasser, Erdbeben) naturgegeben, verteilt und damit unscharf sind. Daraus erwächst die Frage ...

Seminar Series #2: Leveraging Inductive Bias for Physically Consistent Machine Learning

Abstract: In the field of engineered systems, the integration of machine learning has enabled the development of advanced predictive models that ensure the reliable operation of complex assets. However, challenges such as sparse, noisy, and incomplete data necessitate the integration of prior knowledge and inductive bias to improve generalization, interpretability, and robustness. Inductive bias, the set of assumptions embedded in machine learning models, plays ...

Building information is currently not treated as something valuable beyond its immediate scope of application. One of the reasons for this is the lack of a long term value proposition and/or clear pathways for generating revenue using building data. As a result, valuable building information is unavailable to interested individuals and data analytic companies. In order to monetise building data, it has to be first systematically generated or collected (e.g., during the construction phase of a building). Furthermore, building data must be maintained, curated and regularly updated to remain relevant and up-to-date as time passes. All this incurs costs and companies may not see the point of doing so beyond what is needed to achieve their immediate tasks at hand. Among other potential use-cases for building data assets, they may provide information about building components and their materials to entities that specialise in mining and recycling building materials, thus contributing to a circular building materials economy. Pathways for generating revenue would provide the necessary incentives to maintain and update data until the building is demolished (and possibly beyond). We believe that building data assets have a crucial role to play in the context of sustainable material flows in circular future cities. To this end we use tokenised data assets on a Blockchain as a tool to connect building owners with the consumers of building information, coordinate the activities of the built ecosystem and at the same time, maintain the economic incentives required to keep the wheels running

It is well known that the design of buildings and urban environments has a strong influence on our emotional state and experience. Urban places, in particular, are also typically experienced in various levels of human occupancy – depending on the time of day, places from main streets to parks, can be almost empty or bustling with pedestrians, patrons, residents and visitors. How does the presence of other people influence our subjective experience of places? Does the design of urban environments moderate the effects of social presence? Using multiple measurement of human emotions drawing from environmental psychology and neuroscience, we begin to understand how design and presence of people jointly modulate our experiences in cities. In this talk, I will present the conceptual background and findings from recent and ongoing work done as part of the FCL2 Cognition Perception and Behaviour in Urban Environments project and more recently the IntraCREATE SEED project ‘NICE’, and how this can contribute to the planning of future urban developments.
