Load-bearing behavior of sandwich elements with thin concrete shells and bar-shaped connectors

Load-bearing behavior of sandwich elements The load-bearing behavior of random, layered structural components is determined by the stiffness of the individual layers and by the type and extent of...

Insulation layers consisting of polystyrene or polyurethane are usually incorporated into concrete façades in order to increase their thermal resistivity to ensure compliance with the specified...

Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is of central importance in view of rising energy prices, increasingly scarce fossil energy reserves and the continually advancing greenhouse effect....

Sandwich walls and core-insulated double walls with increasingly thick thermal insulation layer are widely used in building practice. They enable cost-effective and convincing energy-saving solutions...

There is a demand for sophisticated sandwich façade elements beyond uniform large-panel construction that offer visual depth and eye-catching textures. Planning requirements increase in line with the...
