Large-scale tests on precast carbon-reinforced concrete beams

Modern buildings must increasingly ensure that technical installations be accommodated in the available intermediate floor space. Precast prestressed concrete beams can be used as an alternative to...

In the future, the construction industry will have to resort to alternative building materials owing to the high carbon emissions associated with the cement production process. Using non-corrosive...

Re-analyses of existing reinforced-concrete buildings or structures often reveal shear resistance deficits. This is primarily due to higher loads, for instance owing to heavy-truck traffic or...

Bonded anchors are used to connect additional concrete or reinforced-concrete components to existing structures. They are subject to permanent loading during their service life. Under this permanent...

Carbon concrete is becoming increasingly important, especially for pedestrian and bicycle bridges. The corrosion resistance and high tensile strength of the reinforcement allow for reduced component...
