The tank-liquid systems are represented by means of mechanical models, whereas discrete springs and dashpots stand for the soil beneath the foundations. The proposed model is employed to assess the responses of adjacent circular, cylindrical tanks for harmonic and seismic excitations over wide range of tank proportions and soil conditions. The influence of the number, spatial arrangement of the containers and their distance on the overall system's behavior is addressed. The results indicate that the cross-interaction effects can substantially alter the impulsive components of response of each individual element in a tank farm. The degree of this impact is primarily controlled by the tank proportions and the proximity of the predominant natural frequencies of the shell-liquid-soil systems and the input seismic motion. The group effects should be not a priori disregarded, unless the tanks are founded on shallow soil deposit overlying very stiff material or bedrock.}, language = {en} } @article{EdipSesovButenwegetal.2018, author = {Edip, K. and Sesov, V. and Butenweg, Christoph and Bojadjieva, J.}, title = {Development of coupled numerical model for simulation of multiphase soil}, series = {Computers and Geotechnics}, volume = {96}, journal = {Computers and Geotechnics}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0266-352X}, doi = {10.1016/j.compgeo.2017.08.016}, pages = {118 -- 131}, year = {2018}, abstract = {In this paper, a coupled multiphase model considering both non-linearities of water retention curves and solid state modeling is proposed.

Among the most recent seismic events taking place in Europe, that of Emilia-Romagna is quite likely one of the best documented, not only in terms of experienced damages, but also for what concerns occurred losses and necessary reconstruction costs. In fact, in order to manage the compensations in a fair way both to citizens and business owners, soon after the seismic sequence, the regional administrative authority started (1) collecting damage and consequence-related data, (2) evaluating information sources and (3) taking care of the cross-checking of various reports. A specific database—so-called Sistema Informativo Gestione Europa (SFINGE)—was devoted to damaged business activities. As a result, 7 years after the seismic events, scientists can rely on a one-of-a-kind, vast and consistent database, containing information about (among other things): (1) buildings' location and dimensions, (2) occurred structural damages, (3) experienced direct economic losses and (4) related reconstruction costs. The present work is focused on a specific data subset of SFINGE, whose elements are Long-Span-Beam buildings (mostly precast) deployed for business activities in industry, trade or agriculture. With the available set of data, empirical fragility functions, cost and loss ratio curves are elaborated, that may be included within existing Performance Based Earthquake Engineering assessment toolkits.}, language = {en} } @article{RossiHoltschoppenButenweg2019, author = {Rossi, Leonardo and Holtschoppen, Britta and Butenweg, Christoph}, title = {Official data on the economic consequences of the 2012 Emilia-Romagna earthquake: a first analysis of database SFINGE}, series = {Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering}, volume = {17}, journal = {Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering}, number = {9}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1007\%2Fs10518-019-00655-8}, pages = {4855 -- 4884}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @article{ButenwegMarinkovicKubalskietal.2016, author = {Butenweg, Christoph and Marinkovic, Marko and Kubalski, Thomas and Klinkel, Sven}, title = {Masonry infilled reinforced concrete frames under horizontal loading}, series = {Mauerwerk}, volume = {20}, journal = {Mauerwerk}, number = {4}, publisher = {Ernst \& Sohn}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1437-1022}, doi = {10.1002/dama.201600703}, pages = {305 -- 312}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The behaviour of infilled reinforced concrete frames under horizontal load has been widely investigated, both experimentally and numerically. Since experimental tests represent large investments, numerical simulations offer an efficient approach for a more comprehensive analysis. When RC frames with masonry infill walls are subjected to horizontal loading, their behaviour is highly non-linear after a certain limit, which makes their analysis quite difficult. The non-linear behaviour results from the complex inelastic material properties of the concrete, infill wall and conditions at the wall-frame interface. In order to investigate this non-linear behaviour in detail, a finite element model using a micro modelling approach is developed, which is able to predict the complex non-linear behaviour resulting from the different materials and their interaction. Concrete and bricks are represented by a non-linear material model, while each reinforcement bar is represented as an individual part installed in the concrete part and behaving elasto-plastically. Each brick is modelled individually and connected taking into account the non-linearity of a brick mortar interface. The same approach is followed using two finite element software packages and the results are compared with the experimental results. The numerical models show a good agreement with the experiments in predicting the overall behaviour, but also very good matching for strength capacity and drift. The results emphasize the quality and the valuable contribution of the numerical models for use in parametric studies, which are needed for the derivation of design recommendations for infilled frame structures.}, language = {en} } @article{MichelButenwegKinkel2018, author = {Michel, Philipp and Butenweg, Christoph and Kinkel, Sven}, title = {Pile-grid foundations of onshore wind turbines considering soil-structure-interaction under seismic loading}, series = {Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering}, volume = {109}, journal = {Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0267-7261}, doi = {10.1016/j.soildyn.2018.03.009}, pages = {299 -- 311}, year = {2018}, abstract = {In recent years, many onshore wind turbines are erected in seismic active regions and on soils with poor load bearing capacity, where pile grids are inevitable to transfer the loads into the ground. In this contribution, a realistic multi pile grid is designed to analyze the dynamics of a wind turbine tower including frequency dependent soil-structure-interaction. It turns out that different foundations on varying soil configurations heavily influence the vibration response. While the vibration amplitude is mostly attenuated, certain unfavorable combinations of structure and soil parameters lead to amplification in the range of the system's natural frequencies.
