It is based on a nonlinear optimization algorithm and a finite element program for linear and nonlinear analysis of structures. With the aim of minimal cost design a two stage optimization using efficient gradient algorithm is developed. The optimization problems on global (structural) and local (crosssectional) level are formulated. A parallelization concept for solving the two stage optimization problem in minimal time is presented. Examples are included to illustrate the practical use and the effectively of the parallelization in the area of engineering design.}, language = {en} } @incollection{ButenwegBollenbeck2003, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Bollenbeck, S.}, title = {Mauerwerksbauten}, series = {Bauwerke und Erdbeben / Konstantin Meskouris ; Klaus-G.

The further growth of the wind industry depends on technological solutions to the challenges in production and construction of the turbines. Wind turbine tower vibrations, which limit power generation efficiency and cause fatigue problems with high maintenance costs, count as one of the main structural difficulties in the wind energy sector. To mitigate tower vibrations auxiliary measures are necessary. The effectiveness of tuned mass damper is verified by means of a numeric study on a 5 MW onshore reference wind turbine. Hereby, also seismic-induced vibrations and soil-structure interaction are considered. Acquired results show that tuned mass damper can effectively reduce resonant tower vibrations and improve the fatigue life of wind turbines. This chapter is also concerned with tuned liquid column damper and a semiactive application of it. Due to its geometric versatility and low prime costs, tuned liquid column dampers are a good alternative to other damping measures, in particular for slender structures like wind turbines.}, language = {en} } @incollection{ButenwegRoeser2016, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Roeser, W.}, title = {Auslegung von Bauwerken gegen Erdbeben - Rechenbeispiele}, series = {Stahlbetonbau aktuell 2016 : Praxishandbuch / herausgegeben von: Prof. Dr.-Ing.
