Translation abstract Strengthening of the bridge‐device SB30 – development of the strengthening concepts (part 1)The Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BDMV) and SYSTEC GmbH have around 7500 t of the SB30 system‐bridge for use in disaster‐protection and for temporary measures in the repair of the transport‐infrastructure. However, the bridge‐device developed in the GDR in the 1970s no longer meets today's requirements and can therefore only be used to a very limited extent. In order to avoid resource‐intensive replacement of these inventories, SYSTEC GmbH, together with SEH Engineering GmbH and the engineers of KLÄHNE BUNG, is developing various strengthening‐concepts that enable the continued use of the outdated SB30 bridge‐device in the spirit of the Green Deal announced by the European Commission.

Strengthening planning for the Chemnitz Viaduct from the perspective of the checking engineer The Chemnitz Viaduct was built for four‐track traffic with a length of 275 m between 1901 and 1909. After 120 years of use, it had to be technically repaired and strengthed for the use for another 80 years. The bridge consists of four parallel superstructures, each spans over two arches and ten beam bridges. For future double‐track traffic, the two inner superstructures were equipped with tracks for rail traffic, and the two outer superstructures were used for side and emergency sidewalks as well as for technical equipment. For this purpose, the inner beam bridges were replaced and designed as a steel composite structure. The substructures and other superstructures were largely preserved in accordance with the requirements of monument protection and renovated or replaced in small parts as necessary. Particular attention was paid to preserving the large number of historical steel bearings. The structural implementation of this complex project under "rolling wheels" required special measures for ongoing railway traffic. In this article, after an overview of the historical building and its assessment, the work in the advisory board is discussed and the handling of various measures for technical repairs and strengthenings, taking into account the monument protection in conjunction with the additional necessary permits and approvals.

Digitalization in lightweight metal construction Digitalization of planning, design and construction leads to a transformation among architects and engineers. Digital tools have been supporting the drafting and design processes in these specialist areas for many years. Today the use of efficient, digital and innovative technologies in all work areas is considered indispensable. The teaching and research area of sustainability in lightweight metal construction at the RWTH Aachen University examines the added value of the integrative use of such technologies in lightweight metal construction. In this context the article provides an insight into research and teaching and presents practical projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the research literature on the economic aspects of the "Sino-Soviet Alliance", which lasted from the end of the Chinese Civil war until the Sino-Soviet split (1949-1960/63). The Soviet and Eastern European contribution to China's industrialization, called the "largest technology transfer in human history" by some, still awaits detailed examination. This article aims to structure the field as well as inspire future research. The included studies range from on-the-ground microstudies of engineers at specific industrial construction projects to macro-perspectives on economic exchange, trade and governmental negotiations. In contrast to classical Cold War perspectives, which assume a primacy of (geo-)politics, the paper builds on more recent studies, arguing that economic rationales mattered in both the split and the forging of the alliance. The literature review suggests that the room for manoeuvre of actors beyond the Kremlin and party leaderships has to be measured anew, and that the impact of the alliance on Eastern Europe awaits further research. Finally, the influence of the West with its technologies and world markets becomes visible when these apparently exclusive East-East relations are examined more closely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to trace the numerical evolution of the engineering profession until 1939 focusing on the social and economic dimensions. In this sense, my approach relies on the theory of professionalization, the basic premise being that the profession is a constructed social identity and a social mobility elevator created by the state. According to this theory, the development of a the specific educational training system is an essential prerequisite in this process. The study also discusses the main traits of polytechnic education in Romania, with a special focus on the Polytechnic School in Bucharest. Finally, the the study analyzes the situation of the engineers’ body in Romania during 1938, using data extracted from the Asociația Generală a Inginerilor from Romania [The General Association of Engineers in Romania] (AGIR) yearbook, with the aim of highlighting the contribution of polytechnic schools in Romania to the numerical development of the engineering profession. The preliminary conclusion of this study is that engineers prepared the ground for the development of a new approach to economics, society, and politics that contributed to the increasing role played by the state in the late 1930s.

This aim of this article is to analyse the role of cartography in operation activities during the Great Northern War. So far, only Swedish materials from that period have been studied, and this work concerns two maps made for the needs of the Russian army. Both relics were made by the general-engineer Joseph-Gaspar Lambert de Guerin (in Russian: Жозеф Гаспар Ламбер де Герен). They were produced within the first three months of 1706 for the needs of the so-called Campaign of Grodno. Cartographic materials show that preliminary terrain survey by engineers was already used in the Russian army at the time. In the first stage, the officers developed the marching routes from Grodno to Tykocin (only one of such maps has been preserved: Carte d’une partie de la Lithuanie et de la Pologne). At least four of such routes were surveyed; three places were also found where the Neman river could be crossed, as well as fords and bridges that allowed the army to cross over the Biebrza river. Then, in the second stage, as the whole army had to flee from the Swedish troops, all the routes were combined on one map: Environs de Grodno et Ticochin. The text presents the mistakes made by Lambert when producing this map. Despite its imperfections, the cartographic documentation contributed to the successful escape of the Russian forces from Grodno (22.03 / 2.04). After reaching Tykocin, Peter I’s troops successfully crossed over the Narew river (29.03 / 9.04), and then went toward Brest Litovsk (4/15.04). The estimated average daily marching speed was 18.9 km, but within the two record days, the army managed to walk almost 70 km.

The article examines that dental, polymer-based additive manufacturing is currently most commonly carried out using what is known as digital light processing (DLP). Topics include considered that in this process, the dental objects are printed in layers from a liquid polymer resin, with the individual layers being successively polymerized by a light source.

Figurative verbs are frequent in everyday language, but are also frequently used in scientific communication where they have developed a new meaning. However, it is still not clear, if they are used equally in all scientific fields. The article discusses this question based on a corpus of Language of Engineering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Knowing to write effectively is key to communication within the different interfaces of any professional role – client-facing, colleague-facing and/or public-facing. Complaints of poor service from professionals often focus on their failure to communicate, not merely in terms of politeness and consideration, but with respect to a lack of clear explanations underlying professional decisions. In other words, the process of interpreting their specialist body of knowledge to the client appears to be a great challenge. Communication that performs a translation function between the world of the professional and that of the client is ‘interdiscursive’: it involves a fusion of genres. Interdiscursivity also arises in communication within the workplace, for example in seeking or giving authorisation or advice. In this article, we examine the challenges that interdiscursive communication pose, from the point of view of engineering and of health professionals, some of whom are also teachers in these fields at university level. Our findings are based on interviews we conducted with these different groups. We hereby aim to extend the theoretical and contextual framework drawn up by a previous survey study. Although the interview participants show a certain awareness of interdiscursive writing skills, the conclusions drawn from this awareness differ between the groups, as well as between the employed versus the self-employed professionals. While the former group writes in a way that rather disregards the target audience and does not see much sense in learning and training writing skills, the latter group was obliged to find ways of managing the demands they faced.

The article informs about mathematical planning for safety in major events that commemorate a variety of traditional rituals over a multi-day journey with Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. Topics include transferred mathematical planning methods from operations research to the security planning of the socially highly relevant mega-event; and mass accidents of implementation of the approaches by Saudi Arabian authorities with major challenge for creativity of architects, logisticians and engineers.

The name of the clergyman and engineer Konrad Gruter di Werden/Ruhr only emerged in 2006 with the publication of his treatise De machinis et rebus mechanicis compiled in 1424 in Venice and dedicated to king Erik VII of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. At the same time, it became possible to reconstruct the stages of his career, lasting over thirty years, as an inventor and engineering advisor at a series of Italian princely courts. However, one source of information has hitherto remained largely unexplored: the instructive albeit sparse material held in the State Archive in Lucca. Dr Geoffrey Nuttall, of the Courtauld Institute in London participated in the collection of this information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the role of the engineer in utopian stories (a successful genre at the beginning of the 20th century) as well as in contemporary debates on utopia. It discusses the various forms in which the engineer has been adapted against the background of the emerging technocracy movement considering 1) several pieces of utopian fiction (by Josef Andre, Carl Grunert et al.), 2) attempts to establish a scientific form of utopia (Otto Neurath), and 3) Robert Musil's argument in favor of »bewußten Utopismus« (conscious utopianism). Despite aesthetic and ideological differences among the texts it is argued that the engineer in al of these cases serves a key function in showing utopian worlds as actual constructable worlds and in contrast to the illusionary. It is precisely this rehabilitation of utopia in the sense of its enablement which links the development of the genre with the debates on utopia and which represents a characteristic feature of this particular phase in the history of utopias.
