@inproceedings{KernDikta2009, author = {Kern, Alexander and Dikta, Gerhard}, title = {Probability of damage of electrical and electronic systems due to indirect lightning flashes - investigation of data from German insurance companies}, year = {2009}, abstract = {In the presented paper data collected from the field related to damage statistics of electrical and electronic apparatus in household are reported and investigated. These damages (total number approx. 74000 cases), registered by five German insurance companies in 2005 and 2006, were adviced by customers as caused by lightning overvoltages. With the use of stochastical methods it is possible, to reasses the collected data and to distinguish between cases, which are with high probability caused by lightning overvoltages, and those, which are not. If there was an indication for a direct strike, this case was excluded, so the focus was only on indirect lightning flashes, i.e. only flashes to ground near the structure and flashes to or nearby an incoming service line were investigated. The data from the field contain the location of damaged apparatus (residence of the policy holder) and the distances of the nearest cloud-to-ground stroke to the location of the damage registered by the German lightning location network BLIDS at the date of damage. The statistical data along with some complementary numerical simulations allow to verify the correspondence of the Standards rules used for IEC 62305-2 with the field data and to define some correction needs. The results could lead to a better understanding whether a damage reported to an insurance company is really caused by indirect lightning, or not.}, subject = {Blitzschutz}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ButenwegRosinKubalski2013, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Rosin, Julia and Kubalski, Thomas}, title = {Seismic response of conventional and base-isolated liquid storage tanks}, series = {International Conference on Earthquake Engineering : 29.-31.05.2013, Skopje, Mazedonien}, booktitle = {International Conference on Earthquake Engineering : 29.-31.05.2013, Skopje, Mazedonien}, organization = {International Conference on Earthquake Engineering <2013, Skopje>}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RenaultButenweg2005, author = {Renault, Philippe and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Seismic vulnerability assessment of bridges}, series = {First Munich Bridge Assessment Conference, MBAC 2005 : Munich, 20.-25.

The results of these measurements discussed in the presentation can be used - to fulfil the legal requirements in the FRG or in the EU - to equalise the temperature in one level of the burning chamber to optimise the steam production (better efficiency of the plant) and to minimise the production of temperature controlled flue gas components (NO, CO a. o.) - to control the SNCR-process if used.}, subject = {Pyrometrie}, language = {en} }
