The foreword introduces the innovative construction method used for the Echterhoff Express Bridge, a modular system for the rapid replacement of bridge structures while traffic continues to flow....
The performance of the transport infrastructure is a key prerequisite for Germany’s economic development and competitiveness. Bridges in particular are increasingly becoming the focus of public...
For the modernization of road infrastructure and the replacement of old, unsound bridges, alternative construction methods are being sought that are particularly fast, traffic-compatible, and...
Reducing the cement content is one of the most effective measures for reducing CO₂ emissions in concrete and lightweight concrete production. The use of reactive mineral components can significantly...
Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is a type of concrete where the Portland cement–based binder is substituted by an alternative, alkali-activated binder and as such is promising for reducing CO₂...
In the Netherlands, Cementbouw started 10 years ago with the development of an alternative binder for concrete with the lowest possible CO₂ footprint. After several years of lab research, a first...
The global cement industry is facing the challenge of having to reduce its carbon emissions in a sustainable manner. Besides geological storage (carbon capture and storage; CCS), another option is to...
Low-clinker composite cements and cements containing recycled construction materials in accordance with the DIN EN 197-5 and -6 standards, but also other types of cement that were granted national...
As part of a real-world transfer pilot project, a roof structure made of prestressed carbon concrete was built for the first time in Dresden under real construction and usage conditions. For the new...
Lightweight concrete already now stands out against other building materials due to numerous specific advantages. These include, for one thing, its low bulk density and, associated therewith, its good...
