In these aggregates, adjacent buildings share structural walls to support floors and roofs. Meanwhile, the masonry walls of the fa{\c{c}}ades of adjacent buildings are often connected by dry joints since adjacent buildings were constructed at different times. Observations after for example the recent Central Italy earthquakes showed that the dry joints between the building units were often the first elements to be damaged. As a result, the joints opened up leading to pounding between the building units and a complicated interaction at floor and roof beam supports. The analysis of such building aggregates is very challenging and modelling guidelines do not exist. Advances in the development of analysis methods have been impeded by the lack of experimental data on the seismic response of such aggregates. The objective of the project AIMS (Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures), included in the H2020 project SERA, is to provide such experimental data by testing an aggregate of two buildings under two horizontal components of dynamic excitation. The test unit is built at half-scale, with a two-storey building and a one-storey building. The buildings share one common wall while the fa{\c{c}}ade walls are connected by dry joints. The floors are at different heights leading to a complex dynamic response of this smallest possible building aggregate. The shake table test is conducted at the LNEC seismic testing facility. The testing sequence comprises four levels of shaking: 25\%, 50\%, 75\% and 100\% of nominal shaking table capacity. Extensive instrumentation, including accelerometers, displacement transducers and optical measurement systems, provides detailed information on the building aggregate response. Special attention is paid to the interface opening, the globa}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ChurilovDumovaJovanoskaButenweg2013, author = {Churilov, Sergej and Dumova-Jovanoska, Elena and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Seismic verification of existing masonry buildings and strengthening with reinforced concrete jackets}, series = {Proceedings - Vienna Congress on Recent Advances in Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics 2013 (VEESD 2013)}, booktitle = {Proceedings - Vienna Congress on Recent Advances in Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics 2013 (VEESD 2013)}, editor = {Adam, Christoph and Heuer, Rudolf and Lenhardt, Wolfgang and Schranz, Christian}, isbn = {978-3-902749-04-8}, year = {2013}, abstract = {A methodology for assessment, seismic verification and strengthening of existing masonry buildings is presented in this paper. The verification is performed using a calculation model calibrated with the results from ambient vibration measurements. The calibrated model serves as an input for a deformation-based verification procedure based on the Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM). The bearing capacity of the building is calculated from experimental capacity curves of the individual walls idealized with bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic curves. The experimental capacity curves were obtained from in-plane cyclic loading tests on unreinforced and strengthened masonry walls with reinforced concrete jackets. The seismic action is compared with the load-bearing capacity of the building considering non-linear material behavior with its post-peak capacity. The application of the CSM to masonry buildings and the influence of a traditional strengthening method are demonstrated on the example of a public school building in Skopje, Macedonia.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KuhlmannButenwegLopezetal.2004, author = {Kuhlmann, Wolfram and Butenweg, Christoph and Lopez, Marijen and Fernandez, Sebastian}, title = {Seismic vulnerability assessment of the historic Aachen Cathedral}, series = {Conference proceedings / 13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering [Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, August 1 - 6, 2004] / [hosted by CAEE/ACGP, Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering]}, booktitle = {Conference proceedings / 13th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering [Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, August 1 - 6, 2004] / [hosted by CAEE/ACGP, Canadian Association for Earthquake Engineering]}, publisher = {CAEE}, address = {Vancouver}, organization = {World Conference on Earthquake Engineering <13, 2004, Vancouver>}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RenaultButenwegMistler2005, author = {Renault, Philippe and Butenweg, Christoph and Mistler, Michael}, title = {Seismic vulnerability assessment system for bridges}, series = {Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Computing : [Rome, Italy, 30.

The MSDH system consists of a lower basin, eight horizontal stages, a field of four flat thermal collectors with a total area of 8.4 m2, 3 Kw PV panels and solar batteries. During the day the system is heated by thermal energy, and at night by heating resistors, powered by solar batteries. These batteries are charged by the photovoltaic panels during the day. More specifically, during the day and at night, we analyse the temperature of the stages and the production of distilled water according to the solar irradiation intensity and the electric heating power, supplied by the solar batteries. The simulations were carried out in the meteorological conditions of the winter month (February 2020), presenting intensities of irradiance and ambient temperature reaching 824 W/m2 and 23 °C respectively. The results obtained show that during the day the system is heated by the thermal collectors, the temperature of the stages and the quantity of water produced reach 80 °C and 30 Kg respectively. At night, from 6p.m. the system is heated by the electric energy stored in the batteries, the temperature of the stages and the quantity of water produced reach respectively 90 °C and 104 Kg for an electric heating power of 2 Kw. Moreover, when the electric power varies from 1 Kw to 3 Kw the quantity of water produced varies from 92 Kg to 134 Kg. The analysis of these results and their comparison with conventional solar thermal desalination systems shows a clear improvement both in the heating of the stages, by 10\%, and in the quantity of water produced by a factor of 3.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ButenwegKleemannAltay2013, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Kleemann, Anne and Altay, Okyay}, title = {Simulation von Impact Belastungen auf Stahlbetonstrukturen}, series = {13.
