Content

The lecture on drinking water supply provides students with a basic understanding of the entire water supply system, encompassing water catchment, water treatment including pump systems, water storage, and the distribution system that carries water to the consumer.

Initially, basics in hydraulics and pump systems are presented (system curve and pump curve). Students learn how the duty point of the pump is determined.  Students learn about different water resources and will be able to design groundwater wells. Students learn how to determine water demand and derive planning values for designing the different elements of a water supply system (e.g. firefighting requirements). The functions of reservoirs, their design and arrangement in the water supply system are explained.  Students will be able to design simple water distribution systems.

A further part of the lecture deals with the processes involved in drinking water supply. This includes a presentation of the essential mechanisms and layout parameters for sedimentation, filtration, coagulation, membrane treatment, adsorption, water softening, gas exchange, ion exchange and disinfection. The basics of process treatment technology will be built on with parallel analysis of the impacts on chemical and physical water quality parameters.

The lecture gives an introduction into the classical structural dynamics, whereas the focus lies on the practical applications. The theoretical basics are worked out in order to apply them for typical issues in practice. For an effective vibration isolation due to vibration excitations by e.g. railway traffic, operating machines oder moving people, different structural measures are presented. The lecture is completed by performing examples of vibration measurements as well as interactive dynamic experiments in the laboratory.

The following topics are covered:

Particular features in structural dynamics

Basic terms of time-dependent excitations

Free vibrations (natural frequencies)

Induced vibrations

Impact excitations of structures

Methods of amplitude reduction (vibration isolation)

Introduction to soil dynamics

Vibration measurements and requirements for vibration protection

Vibrations induced by people

Content

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

Content

The course provides and overview over different transport projects in the metropolitan areas of developing countries. Considering different perspectives on urban growth, social justice, economic development, environmental and climate protection as well as the economic viability of public transport, the specific situation in the urban conglomerates of Asia, Latin America and Africa will be analysed and placed in a regional and global context. Specific public transport systems will be examined to establish, whether they are a suitable example for sustainable urban development.

The following examples could be suitable case studies: Singapore (Metro), Lagos (BRT Light), Guanghzou, Bogota, Jakarta (Full BRT), Sao Paulo, Medellin (Cable Car Systems), Johannesburg (Minibus-Taxi).

The course will be designed interactively with the students and will partly be in English as is the majority of the literature in this area (also: Skype online interviews with international experts in the transport sector). An English language presentation is also part of the course work.

This lecture covers all options for energy supply from biomass; this includes the supply of heat, electricity and fuels. The biomass resource and its origin will be discussed first. Afterwards the biomass supply is addressed, which bridges the gap between biomass generation and utilization. Subsequently, the different conversion options are discussed. Only those options are presented in depth that have a corresponding significance on the market in Germany and Europe. This includes

(a) heat generation from biogenic solid fuels in small and large-scale plants

(b) power generation from solid biomass via combustion

(c) a biogas production from residues, by-products and waste,

(d) alcohol production from sugar and starch

(e) biodiesel production from vegetable oils.

Special attention is also paid to the corresponding environmental aspects. An economic classification of the various options is also provided.

Content

The module ist structured into three main parts, namely 1. geometrically non-linear methods, 2. pre-stressed systems and 3. material non-linear methods. The topic pre-steressed systems contains both geometrically non-linear phenomena (e.g. geometrical or initial stress stiffness of pre-stressed cables) and material non-linear phenomena (e.g. failure of concrete under tensile stresses). In all three parts, first the phenomena are described, followed by the derivation of corresponding model and computational methods. The topics cover:

Part 1: Geometrically non-linear methods

  • geometrically non-linear structural behaviour
  • force and displacement load cases
  • equilibrium in the deformed configuration
  • geometrical stiffness
  • second order theory
  • displacement method and direct stiffness method considering second order theory
  • stability analysis
  • bifurcation problems and snap-through problems

Part 2: Pre-stressed systems
  • basic principle of pre-stressing
  • internal and external pre-stress
  • compressive pre-stress
  • pre-stressed concrete
  • tensile pre-stress, cables and membranes

Part 3: Material non-linear methods
  • non-linear material behaviour
  • loading and unloading, self-stressed states
  • theory of plasticity
  • plastic hinge theory
  • ultimate limit states

Thereby the design tools especially of digital modelling are understood by practical application. Energetic considerations as well as planning and restoration of pipeline systems are covered.  

For wastewater treatment, the basis developed in Sanitary Engineering I will be deepened and significantly expanded, especially the resource recovery of nutrients and water. Sanitary solutions for different socio-economic and climatic conditions are understood and calculated.

Content

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

This lecture covers all options for energy supply from biomass; this includes the supply of heat, electricity and fuels. The biomass resource and its origin will be discussed first. Afterwards the biomass supply is addressed, which bridges the gap between biomass generation and utilization. Subsequently, the different conversion options are discussed. Only those options are presented in depth that have a corresponding significance on the market in Germany and Europe. This includes

(a) heat generation from biogenic solid fuels in small and large-scale plants

(b) power generation from solid biomass via combustion

(c) a biogas production from residues, by-products and waste,

(d) alcohol production from sugar and starch

(e) biodiesel production from vegetable oils.

Special attention is also paid to the corresponding environmental aspects. An economic classification of the various options is also provided.

The contents of this module follow the recommendations of the German Association of Computing in Civil Engineering (www.gacce.de) for the BIM courses taught at German universities in the subject area of engineering informatics. The module aims to present methodological knowledge to enable students to introduce, to design, to monitor, and to improve BIM processes in companies and public institutions. An in-depth understanding of the methods and technologies relevant to BIM is essential. Emphasis is placed on generally valid principles and techniques independent of specific software products and valid for several decades. The theoretical content taught in the lecture is complemented by practical exercises, in which state-of-the-art software tools will be used. Topics include computer-aided design and geometry modeling, digital modeling of buildings and infrastructure, BIM data exchange and cooperation (focusing on Industry Foundation Classes), process modeling, job descriptions and BIM applications, BIM tools, and advanced aspects. A central component of this module will be a project work.

Students will be able to discuss the fundamental relationship between the origin and type of construction waste, quantities produced and methods for characterising them.
Skills

Students can relate relevant legal requirements to practical problems of environmentally sound design and construction and thus justify the application of specific limit values for individual areas of application. Students are able to assess risks that may arise from hazardous construction waste in a concise manner. They are able to critically examine innovative areas of application of sustainable construction on the basis of central engineering, economic and legal criteria. They can thereafter evaluate and propose approaches for alternative solutions exemplarily, e.g. for the processing and recycling of construction waste.

Content

This course places its focus on transport and mobility in Germany. It deals with questions such as:

  • Which external factors - like e.g. energy costs, availability of renewable and fossil fuels, environmental and climate protection objectives - influence current developments in the transport sector?
  • Which external effects in turn are caused by mobility choices and traffic?
  • How should these interactions be evaluated, how and by whom can they be influenced?
  • Which measures at the municipal level can contribute to a more sustainable transport system?

During the course, these questions will be illustrated and discussed with reference to different examples and current developments. Participants will also provide input on specific topics. Potential core subjects of the course could be:

  • Environmental Justice : which population groups are disproportionately affected by transport emissions and who causes them?
  • Municipal cycle planning
  • Transport and Climate Protection: can, want, act - everything could be, nothing must be?

The course provides and overview over different transport projects in the metropolitan areas of developing countries. Considering different perspectives on urban growth, social justice, economic development, environmental and climate protection as well as the economic viability of public transport, the specific situation in the urban conglomerates of Asia, Latin America and Africa will be analysed and placed in a regional and global context. Specific public transport systems will be examined to establish, whether they are a suitable example for sustainable urban development.

The following examples could be suitable case studies: Singapore (Metro), Lagos (BRT Light), Guanghzou, Bogota, Jakarta (Full BRT), Sao Paulo, Medellin (Cable Car Systems), Johannesburg (Minibus-Taxi).

The course will be designed interactively with the students and will partly be in English as is the majority of the literature in this area (also: Skype online interviews with international experts in the transport sector). An English language presentation is also part of the course work.

This lecture covers all options for energy supply from biomass; this includes the supply of heat, electricity and fuels. The biomass resource and its origin will be discussed first. Afterwards the biomass supply is addressed, which bridges the gap between biomass generation and utilization. Subsequently, the different conversion options are discussed. Only those options are presented in depth that have a corresponding significance on the market in Germany and Europe. This includes

(a) heat generation from biogenic solid fuels in small and large-scale plants

(b) power generation from solid biomass via combustion

(c) a biogas production from residues, by-products and waste,

(d) alcohol production from sugar and starch

(e) biodiesel production from vegetable oils.

Special attention is also paid to the corresponding environmental aspects. An economic classification of the various options is also provided.

The seminar ""Infrastructure Management Wastewater"" develops the understanding of infrastructure systems in relation to wastewater systems, but also addresses other infrastructure systems. 

Initially, an overview of the entire system is given, including water catchment areas, water distribution, the origin of wastewater in households and industry, stormwater runoff management, and the treatment and reuse of water (constituents ). Thereby the design tools especially of digital modelling are understood by practical application. Energetic considerations as well as planning and restoration of pipeline systems are covered.  

For wastewater treatment, the basis developed in Sanitary Engineering I will be deepened and significantly expanded, especially the resource recovery of nutrients and water. Sanitary solutions for different socio-economic and climatic conditions are understood and calculated.

The contents of this module follow the recommendations of the German Association of Computing in Civil Engineering (www.gacce.de) for the BIM courses taught at German universities in the subject area of engineering informatics. The module aims to present methodological knowledge to enable students to introduce, to design, to monitor, and to improve BIM processes in companies and public institutions. An in-depth understanding of the methods and technologies relevant to BIM is essential. Emphasis is placed on generally valid principles and techniques independent of specific software products and valid for several decades. The theoretical content taught in the lecture is complemented by practical exercises, in which state-of-the-art software tools will be used. Topics include computer-aided design and geometry modeling, digital modeling of buildings and infrastructure, BIM data exchange and cooperation (focusing on Industry Foundation Classes), process modeling, job descriptions and BIM applications, BIM tools, and advanced aspects. A central component of this module will be a project work.
