This study investigates the influence of seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the damage state of unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, with particular focus on the interplay between in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP) behaviour. A series of nonlinear…
Soil-structure interaction (SSI) is a crucial factor in the design and analysis of building structures, particularly when they are founded on soft soil deposits. Traditional equivalent linear and simplified nonlinear models often fail to capture the full complexity of nonlinear soil behaviour during…
The seismic response of structures influenced by soil-structure interaction (SSI) has gained significant attention as a topic of study in recent decades. This interaction, where both soil and structural dynamics influence each other during an earthquake, brings complexities that greatly influence the…

The present article aims to provide an overview of the consequences of dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) on building structures and the available modelling techniques to resolve SSI problems. The role of SSI has been traditionally considered beneficial to the response of structures. However, contemporary…
The characteristic values of climatic actions in current structural design codes are based on a specified probability of exceedance during the design working life of a structure. These values are traditionally determined from the past observation data under a stationary climate assumption. However, this…
Within the scope of literature, the influence of openings within the infill walls that are bounded by a reinforced concrete frame and excited by seismic drift forces in both in- and out-of-plane direction is still uncharted. Therefore, a 3D micromodel was developed and calibrated thereafter, to gain…
Institute of Structural Engineering, Institute of Structural Mechanics, as well as Institute for Computing, Mathematics and Physics in Civil Engineering at the faculty of civil engineering at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar presented special topics of structural engineering to highlight the broad spectrum…
The proceedings at hand are the result of the International Master Course Module: "Nonlinear Analysis of Structures: Wind Induced Vibrations" held at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at Bauhaus-University Weimar, Germany in the summer semester 2019 (April - August). This material summarizes the results…
The design of engineering structures takes place today and in the past on the basis of static calculations. The consideration of uncertainties in the model quality becomes more and more important with the development of new construction methods and design requirements. In addition to the traditional…
Planning of a civil engineering structure is based on static calculations today as well as in the past. With the development of construction methods and new usage requirements, the consideration of uncertainties in model quality is gaining more and more importance. In addition to the traditional force-based…
The planning and construction of buildings and infrastructure require a complex interaction between involved disciplines with partially diverging interests as well as the recognition of their impact on the natural environment. They impose demands on safety and reliability for a long time. Thus, the civil…
The Bauhaus Summer School series provides an international forum for an exchange of methods and skills related to the interaction between different disciplines of modern engineering science. The 2012 civil engineering course was held in August over two weeks at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. The overall…
