Examples of specific requirements on concrete engineering

Lining segments for infrastructure projects

As a result of the rapid population growth, the related increase in urbanization and therefore an ever more clearly evident shortage of land, the construction of tunnels in concrete design will continue to gain in importance in the future. This is compounded by a strong increase in the demand for mobility, which in the future will also be reflected in providing sufficiently suitable underground infrastructure. At the same time, the requirements placed on structural engineering and especially on concrete engineering are increasing continuously due to the fact that different and sometimes...
