Experimental investigations on pipe joints and precast tunnel lining segments –

1. Introduction This article reports on experimental tests carried out as part of a DFG research project at the iBMB, Department of Concrete Structures, at Braunschweig University of Technology. This...

Background Contrary to the monolithic design, for segment construction single building units are prefabricated in the precast concrete factory for later assembly at the construction site. Using joints...

Partial area loading with biaxial or triaxial load propagation occurs, for example, at bearings, anchors, precast element joints and various contact surfaces of concrete structures. The high contact...

The VS 5® paver system with longitudinal grass joints made by braun – Ideen aus Stein recently allows which seemed to be impossible so far: to create paved areas for very high traffic loads that are...

The advantages of precast concrete elements known from industrial construction can also be successfully used in high-rise buildings. Completed projects such as the “Tanzende Türme” in Hamburg or...
