Modern-day terrorist attacks present a considerable danger for commercial aircrafts. This thesis analyzes potential methods of such attacks with a critical analysis of the most dangerous type: an attack from the outside of the aircraft via a fragmentation missile warhead. Such missiles cause damage to the airframe of the aircraft through fragments created by the explosion. In this thesis, analytical geometry is used to determine the area of the aircraft affected by the fragmentation. The aircraft’s geometry and the fragments’ dispersion are calculated by analytical functions, and the effect of the damage is analyzed. A shooting experiment was also carried out, in which fragments were shot at a reinforced skin panel that was manufactured according to the real design of commercial aircraft. The results of the experiment revealed that only directly hit sections of the structure are damaged. Data obtained by the experiment was then used for the creation and improvement of the model used in the simulation by means of the finite element method. This model is used for the numerical calculation of the damage sustained. Further included in the thesis is an analysis of the change in the load-bearing capacity after such an attack. The relationship between the size of the damage and its effect on the load-bearing capacity of the component as well as the entire structure is defined. First, the effect of component damage is analyzed via the FMEA/FMECA methods. This analysis is then extended using fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic analysis is based on the determination of the size of the damaged component area and the component’s importance on the structure’s carry loads. Application of the defined approach is described for several parts of an aircraft’s life cycle, including development, operation after the terrorist attack, and assessment of causes after a crash caused by a fragmentation missile warhead.

Das Trag- und Verbundverhalten textiler Bewehrungen wurde in den vergangen Jahren umfassend experimentell untersucht. Die dabei gewonnenen Erkenntnisse stützen sich jedoch fast ausschließlich auf einaxiale Beanspruchungszustände. Grundsätzlich können aus dem Vergleich von Versuchen an Rovings und an textilen Bewehrungsstrukturen Rückschlüsse auf den Einfluss der Quer- und Stützfäden und der verschiedenen Bindungstechniken auf das einaxiale Tragverhalten von Textilbeton getroffen werden. Offen bleibt jedoch, inwieweit sich die gefundenen Gesetzmäßigkeiten auf mehraxiale Beanspruchungssituationen übertragen lassen. Dadurch werden Fragen bezüglich des Tragverhaltens textiler Bewehrungen unter mehraxialen Zugbeanspruchungen aufgeworfen, welche die Motivation für die vorliegende Arbeit liefern. Die hierzu durchgeführten experimentellen Untersuchungen umfassen 84 Einzelversuche und wurden in einem speziell für zweiaxiale Zugbeanspruchungen entwickelten Versuchsaufbau durchgeführt. Als textile Bewehrungen kamen zwei verschiedene Gelegearten aus AR-Glas und Carbon zum Einsatz. Die Ergebnisse konnten die bisher ausschließlich an einaxialen Dehnkörpern gewonnenen Erkenntnisse über das Tragverhalten textiler Bewehrungen grundsätzlich bestätigen. Für den Übergang von Zustand I zum Zustand II konnte eine Abhängigkeit der Erstrissspannung vom Spannungsverhältnis nachgewiesen werden. Die Merkmale der Zustände IIa und IIb zeigen hingegen keine signifikante Abhängigkeit vom Verhältnis aus Längs- und Querzugspannung. Darüber hinaus haben offenbar durch Querzug induzierte bewehrungsparallele Risse keine maßgeblichen Auswirkungen auf das Verbundverhalten der Rovings in Längsrichtung. Eine wesentliche Erkenntnis aus den biaxialen Zugversuchen mit Carbon betrifft den Einfluss der Welligkeit. Es wurde deutlich, dass der Abbau der Welligkeit in beschichteten textilen Bewehrungen hochgradig lastabhängig ist. In zahlreichen Versuchen mit Carbon kam es innerhalb des Zustands IIb zu Delamination, einem bisher in diesem Umfang nicht beobachteten Effekt. Die Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich des Abbaus der Welligkeit wurden im Anschluss auf das Tragverhalten von AR-Glas übertragen und führten zu einer Neubewertung des bei AR-Glas beobachteten Steifigkeitsdefizits im Zustand IIb. Weiterhin wurde der Einfluss der Orientierung der Bewehrung unter einaxialer Beanspruchung an scheibenartigen Probekörpern untersucht. Es zeigte sich, dass die untersuchten Bewehrungen aus AR-Glas hinsichtlich der Tragfähigkeit bei schiefwinkliger Beanspruchung deutlich unempfindlicher reagieren als Bewehrungen aus Carbon. Für die Reduktion der effektiven Faserbruchspannungen wurde ein mathematisches Modell vorgestellt, welches eine getrennte Beschreibung der geometrischen Einflüsse sowie alle sonstigen, die Faserbruchspannung reduzierenden Effekte erlaubt. / The load bearing and bond behaviour of textile reinforcements has been comprehensively studied experimental in recent years. The findings are based almost exclusively on uniaxial loading. Generally, from the comparison of tests on rovings and fabrics conclusions can be drawn about the influence of transverse and supporting threads and different binding patterns on the uniaxial load-bearing behaviour. However, it remains open, to what extend the found principles are applicable to multi-axial loading situations. This raises questions about the load bearing behaviour under multi-axial tension loading, which provide motivation for this work. For the experimental studies on 84 specimens a specially developed test setup for biaxial tensile loading was used. Two different types of textile reinforcements made from AR-glass and carbon fibres were examined. The results generally approve the findings on the structural behaviour of textile reinforcements exclusively derived from uniaxial tests. A relationship between first cracking stress level and biaxial stress ratio has been found. The characteristics of the cracking phases and during stabilized cracking, however, show no significant dependencies on the ratio of longitudinal and transverse tensile stresses. Furthermore, parallel cracks induced by transverse tensile stresses have no significant impact on the bond behaviour of longitudinal rovings. An essential result from biaxial tensile tests with carbon is the strong influence of waviness. It became clear that the reduction of waviness in coated textile reinforcement is highly load-dependent. In numerous experiments with carbon reinforcement delamination occurred during stabilized cracking – an effect, that has been observed in this large scale for the first time. The findings regarding the reduction of the waviness were subsequently applied to AR-glass and led to a revaluation of the known stiffness deficit in the phase IIb. Furthermore, the influence of reinforcement orientation has been studied on discoidal specimens under uni-axial loading. It was found that the load bearing capacity of carbon reinforcement is much more sensible to load orientation than AR-glass. A mathematical model was presented, which allows the separate description of geometric factors and as well as all other effects that reduce the fibre tensile strength.

Uma das tarefas mais desafiadoras do engenheiro na área da Geotecnia é a escolha dos valores de parâmetros geotécnicos obtidos de ensaios de campo ou laboratório e que serão utilizados nos modelos analíticos ou numéricos na fase de projeto de fundações. Diante das incertezas inerentes aos ensaios de SPT e da heterogeneidade de abordagens para a utilização dos valores de NSPT, é proposta neste estudo, a aplicação de um critério estatístico para obtenção de valores de NSPT, a partir da construção de intervalos de confiança de 95% de probabilidade em torno da reta ajustada de regressão linear simples entre a variável aleatória NSPT e a profundidade. Os valores obtidos de NSPT pelo critério aplicado foram utilizados na previsão da capacidade de carga de 19 estacas isoladas a partir da utilização de três métodos semi-empíricos: Aoki-Velloso (1975) com coeficientes alterados por Monteiro (1997), Décourt & Quaresma (1978) alterado pelo método de Décourt (1996) e Método de Alonso (1996). As cargas de ruptura dessas 19 estacas ensaiadas através de Provas de Carga Estática foram obtidas pelos métodos de extrapolação de Van Der Veen (1953) e Décourt (1996) e serviram para comparação e consequente validação do critério estatístico. Adicionalmente, com fulcro no item 6.2.1.2.1 da ABNT NBR 6122:2010 Resistência calculada por método semi-empírico, foram avaliados os fatores de segurança em relação às cargas de projeto, inclusive, também se utilizando da premissa de reconhecimento de regiões representativas, levando em conta o número de ensaios de SPT executados, fato que promove uma diminuição da incerteza dos parâmetros, apontando a um menor fator de segurança. A dissertação enfatiza as vantagens de um adequado tratamento estatístico dos parâmetros geotécnicos, a exemplo da recomendação já existente nas normas internacionais como Eurocódigo e outras. O critério construído permite e encoraja análises e decisões racionais no universo das partes interessadas consumidores, projetistas, fiscais de obras, contratantes e comunidade científica promovendo as discussões de forma mais objetiva e harmoniosa sobre o tema. / One of the most challenging aspects of geotechnical engineering is the selection of soil parameters from field and / or laboratory tests to be used in analytical or numerical models for foundation design. Due to known uncertainties in SPT tests and wide availability of criteria for NSPT interpretation, a proposed procedure is presented based on 95% confidence limits around a trend line defined by simple linear regression analysis expressing the variation of NSPT with depth. The NSPT values obtained by the proposed approach have been used to estimate the pile ultimate capacity of 19 isolated continuous flight auger piles using different semi-empirical methods, such as Aoki and Velloso (1975) with modified coefficients as proposed by Monteiro (1997), Décourt and Quaresma (1978) modified by Décourt (1996) and Alonso (1996). Static load tests of the same 19 piles have been extrapolated by Van Der Veen (1953) and Décourt (1996) methods, as an aid for comparison and validation of the statistical criterion. Additionally, were made with the fulcrum in item 6.2.1.2.1 of ABNT NBR 6122: 2010 - Resistance calculated by semi-empirical method, evaluations of safety factors in relation to load project, also including the premise of recognizing representative regions and taking into account the number of SPT tests, a fact that provides the decreased uncertainty of the parameters, indicating a lower FS. The dissertation emphasizes the advantages of an adequate statistical treatment of the geotechnical data, similar to what is recommended by the Eurocode. Such approach allows and encourages a more rational decision including all interested parties - consumers, designers, inspectors, contractors and scientific community providing more objective and harmonious discussions on this subject.

Im Konstruktiven Glasbau ist es keine Besonderheit mehr, Glasträger für Dachkonstruktionen und Glasschwerter in Fassaden einzusetzen, um leichte, transparente und in den Hintergrund tretende Tragkonstruktionen umzusetzen. Für die Fügung dieser tragenden Bauteile werden bisher Verbindungsmittel aus Edelstahl eingesetzt, die optisch beeinträchtigen, Bohrungen im Glas erfordern und ungünstige Spannungsspitzen im Glas hervorrufen. Demgegenüber ist das Kleben für den spröden Werkstoff Glas ein materialgerechteres Fügeverfahren. Die Untersuchung einer flächigen Klebverbindung zum Lastabtrag zwischen tragenden Glas-Bauteilen im Primärtragwerk ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit. Bei einer relativ großen Schichtdicke bildet die transparente Ausführung eine ganz wesentliche Prämisse. Ein weiterer Anspruch liegt in der Alterungsbeständigkeit und der Tragfähigkeit. An einer Auswahl von 14 potentiell geeigneten, transparenten Acrylat-, Epoxidharz- und Polyurethanklebstoffen werden mit Hilfe thermomechanischer und mechanischer Prüfverfahren temperaturabhängige Materialeigenschaften ermittelt. Ergänzend wird die Langzeitbeständigkeit der Klebstoffe durch eine künstliche Alterung im Verbund überprüft. Im Anschluss erfolgt die Ermittlung der lichttechnischen Eigenschaften sowie die visuelle Beurteilung der Sichtproben. Im Resultat wird ein UV- und lichthärtender Acrylatklebstoff als besonders geeignet identifiziert. Für diesen Klebstoff werden Haftfestigkeitsuntersuchungen im Druckscherversuch unter Temperatur- und Alterungseinflüssen sowie Zeitstandversuche an Substanzproben und kleinen Prüfkörpern durchgeführt. Für den Einsatz in einer flächigen Klebung wird ein geeignetes Dosier- und Aushärteverfahren entwickelt. Der Tragfähigkeitsnachweis der geklebten Verbindung erfolgt an großformatigen Bauteilmustern. Bei diesen Versuchen wird jeweils die Belastbarkeitsgrenze des Glases erreicht, während die Klebung intakt bleibt. Ein Zeitstandversuch dient zur Aufzeichnung des Kriechverhaltens an Bauteilmustern bei erhöhter Temperatur. Begleitend zum Entstehen der vorliegenden Arbeit werden mehrere Bauvorhaben mit Ganzglaskonstruktionen umgesetzt. Der Verzicht auf jegliche metallische Verbindungsmittel stellt bei diesen Objekten in Deutschland ein bauaufsichtliches und bautechnisches Novum dar. Die Fügung von Glasstütze und Glasträger innerhalb des gläsernen Primärtragwerks erfolgt ausschließlich und erstmals über eine transparente Acrylatklebung, deren Ausführung auf Erkenntnissen der vorliegenden Arbeit basiert. Die umschließende Verglasung wird mit einem zugelassenen Silikonklebstoff an der Tragkonstruktion befestigt. Zwei der beschriebenen Bauvorhaben werden seit der Erstellung in einem umfangreichen Monitoring beobachtet, um weitergehende Aussagen zum Langzeitverhalten der Klebungen zu erhalten. Die weitgehenden Untersuchungen der vorliegenden Arbeit wie auch des laufenden Monitorings sollen Bedeutung und Zuverlässigkeit der transparenten, lastabtragenden Klebungen im Konstruktiven Glasbau belegen helfen. / The use of glass beams in transparent roofs and glass fins as part of the facade is already state-of-the-art construction to achieve a transparent and lightweight appearance. Until now, mechanical fasteners made from stainless steel are used to join these structural components. Those fasteners visually interfere, require holes in the glass and cause unfavorable stress peaks in the glass. In contrast, adhesive bonding is much more appropriate to join the brittle material glass. The subject of this dissertation is the study of a planar adhesive joint which transfers the load between the load-bearing glass components into the primary structure. With a relatively large layer thickness, the manufacturing of the transparent joint represents a major challenge. Furthermore, the aging resistance and the load-bearing capacity must be proven. A selection of 14 potentially suitable, transparent adhesives of acrylate, epoxy resin and polyurethane are tested for temperature-depending material properties. These tests are based on thermo-mechanical and mechanical test methods. In addition, the long-term durability of the adhesives is verified by artificial aging test on bonded specimens. Subsequently, the photometric characteristics and the visual quality of the samples are assessed. As the result an UV- and light-curing acrylate adhesive is identified as particularly suitable. Compression shear tests under temperature and aging influences as well as creep tests are performed on substance samples and small-scale specimens to determine the adhesive strength of this adhesive. A suitable application and curing process is developed for use in planar bonded joints. Tests on specimen components were carried out to determine the load-bearing capacity of the bonded glass frame corners. In these experiments, the glass fails while the adhesive joint remains intact. Creep test are used to record the creep deformation of component specimen at increased temperature. Accompanying the study, several building projects are realized to use adhesive bonding technology in all-glass constructions. Without any visible forms of connection, the glass construction represents a significant innovation in Germany in terms of both building legislation and building technology. It´s the first time, glass fins and glass beams are joint to a glass primary structural system via transparent acrylate adhesive. The connection method is based on the findings of the present study. The glass panels of the envelope are joined to the primary glass structure with an approved silicone adhesive. Two of the described construction projects are monitored to obtain further knowledge about the long-term behaviour of the bonded joints. The comprehensive studies of this thesis as well as the ongoing monitoring have proven the significance and the reliability of transparent, load-bearing bonded joints in the field of glass construction.
