Selected AbstractsAutomated Assessment of Early Concept DesignsARCHITECTURAL DESIGN, Issue 2 2009Chuck Eastman Abstract Building information modelling (BIM) is a powerful tool for clients and architects alike, particularly when clients have ongoing complex programmatic requirements. Chuck Eastman describes how with his team* at the AEC Integration Laboratory at the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology he was commissioned by the US federal government's General Service Administration (GSA) to automate the design guidelines for all US courthouses in such a way that preliminary designs by architects could be assessed and checked against specific criteria.

Bramklev Abstract Globalization pressures have now caused significant changes in the way industrial enterprises are organized and how products are developed, manufactured and brought to market. In global enterprises, the handling, transportation and storage of parts, sub-assemblies and final products demand for an efficient and effective development of the product,package-system (PPS). The objective set in this paper is to present the development of a generic package development process that facilitates the establishment of integrated product and package development and also provides a more proactive and holistic approach to the development of new and innovative packages for the global market. In an extensive review of the package development literature and through five multiple case studies within the package manufacturing industry, results on the package development process are generated and, in this paper, presented and synthesized into an updated version of the package development process. The process consists of the phases package planning, package system development, package concept design, package design, production ramp-up, package system integration and package system production ramp-up. The package development model proposed here takes its starting point in the development of the package system, thus providing the holistic perspective needed for being truly generic. Being generic in the given context assures or at least facilitates the possibility to support the development of the new and innovative package systems and package designs needed in the product manufacturing industry to enhance competitiveness.

Nach der Einführung der DIN-Fachberichte sind alle Bauwerksentwürfe nach dem neuen Regelwerk zu bearbeiten. Der Beitrag beschreibt, in welchen wesentlichen Punkten sich Änderungen bei der Entwurfsbearbeitung gegenüber dem bisherigen Vorgehen ergeben. Für die Vorberechnung von Massivbrücken in Längsrichtung werden die maßgebenden Einwirkungen nach altem und neuem Vorschriftenwerk gegenübergestellt. Es wird außerdem gezeigt, daß die Neuerungen bei den anzusetzenden Einwirkungen in einigen Fällen Änderungen bei den bislang gewählten Bauwerkssystemen und -abmessungen erforderlich machen. Die gegenüber einer Bearbeitung nach DIN-Normen besonders zu beachtenden Punkte werden zusammengestellt. Actions according to DIN-Fachbericht 101: Effects on the Design of Concrete Road Bridges After the introduction of the DIN-Fachberichte all concept designs have to follow the new code of practice. This article describes in which the essential points there are modifications in the concept design compared to the previous actions. For the precalculation of concrete bridges for longitudinal direction the essential actions according to old and new code of practice are compared. It is shown that the innovations of the calculated actions in some cases can make changes in the building structure and the dimension necessary as well. [source] | ||||||||||
