As a result of the imperative need to reduce the environmental impactof concrete production, increasingly complex formulations are used inpractical application with, in some cases, nine to ten...
The European Union has adopted the Green Deal to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050 and to minimize the use of primary resources. The construction industry is exceedingly resource-intensive and emits...
In order to reduce the CO2 footprint of cement it is necessary to decrease the clinker content significantly, i.e. well below 50 %. To probe into such systems, the use of alternative raw materials...
Digital fabrication with concrete (DFC) is a dynamic and rapidly evolving area. The variety of approaches used and of the associated opportunities and challenges is overwhelming. This paper presents a...
Structural precast elements are primarily used in classic industrial and commercial construction. In the form of such elements as roof trusses, beams, horizontal members, transfer beams and columns,...
3D concrete printing has the potential to achieve a breakthrough in the construction industry. However, a number of challenges need to be overcome. An important step for transferring the 3D concrete...
At the 2015 World Climate Conference in Paris, it was agreed to limit global warming to a maximum of 1.5°C and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions accordingly. Utilizing previously unused industrial or...
The future climate solution must cover our daily requirements by using renewable energy as much as possible. The development of absorbers for storing heat inside building shells plays a major role...
Sustainable mobility und logistics are among the most important future challenges. Currently electric mobility is in the focus with many innovative vehicle solutions. However, transport systems of the...
So far, European standards do not stipulate generally applicable verification rules for the punching shear of slabs made of carbon-reinforced concrete. In addition, regulations on the structural...
