Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A 45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B 1 / A 40. The best interstate exits to take from A 45 is “Dortmund-Eichlinghofen” (closer to South Campus), and from B 1 / A 40 “Dortmund-Dorstfeld” or “Dortmund-Barop” (both closer to North Campus). Signs to the university are located at all the exits.

To get from North Campus to South Campus by car, there is the connection via Vogelpothsweg/Baroper Straße. We recommend you leave your car on one of the parking lots at North Campus and use the H-Bahn (suspended monorail system), which conveniently connects the two campuses.

By train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station (“Dortmund Universität”). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station (“Dortmund Hauptbahnhof”) and Düsseldorf main station via the “Düsseldorf Airport Train Station” (take S-Bahn number 1, which leaves every 15 or 30 minutes). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg.

You can also take the bus or subway train from Dortmund city to the university: From Dortmund main station, you can take any train bound for the Station “Stadtgarten”, usually lines U41, U45, U 47 and U49. At “Stadtgarten” you switch trains and get on line U42 towards “Hombruch”. Look out for the Station “An der Palmweide”. From the bus stop just across the road, busses bound for TU Dortmund University leave every ten minutes (445, 447 and 462). Another option is to take the subway routes U41, U45, U47 and U49 from Dortmund main station to the stop “Dortmund Kampstraße”. From there, take U43 or U44 to the stop “Dortmund Wittener Straße”. Switch to bus line 447 and get off at “Dortmund Universität S”.

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

H-Bahn

The H-Bahn (Suspended Monorail System) is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dortmund Universität S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are located on two campuses, the larger North Campus and the smaller South Campus. In addition, some university facilities are located in the adjacent Dortmund Technology Park as well as in the city center and the wider urban area.

Vortrag von Gambrinus Fellow Dr. Oladimeji B. Olalusi über europäische Standards im Bauwesen

Vortrag

Gambrinus Fellow Dr. Oladimeji B. Olalusi hält einen Vortrag zum Thema „Safety Performance of Stirrup Reinforced Concrete Beams Designed according to the EN 1992-1-1 (Eurocode 2) Shear Design Provisions“.

Ensuring adequate shear capacity in bridges and buildings is a main aim of structural design. However, shear capacity prediction is complicated, and predictions contain high bias and uncertainty. The European standards (Eurocodes) are recognised as advanced, wholly integrated set of structural codes specifying how structural design should be conducted within the European Union (EU). The Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1: Design of concrete structures) design provisions for stirrup reinforced concrete beam is based on the Variable Strut Inclination Method (VSIM). Recent studies have shown that the best estimate shear strength predictions of the operational Eurocode 2 VSIM underestimate shear capacity for lightly reinforced beams and, conversely overestimates shear capacity for heavily reinforced beams. Given this, sufficient safety performance of the design formulation should be confirmed at high levels of stirrup reinforcement, and over conservatism at low stirrup reinforcement is not ideal. In this lecture, we will discuss the safety performance of the Eurocode 2 shear design formulation using the principles of structural reliability. Finally, reliability informed insights into the sufficiency and limitation of the EN 1992-1-1 VSIM standardized design will be shared.
