As with any construction project, the same applies to 3D concrete printing: there is no “one size fits all.” Our examples using the Cobod BOD2 portal system show that the desired appearance, statics,...
Where does additive manufacturing stand in concrete construction—and what is needed to establish 3D concrete printing in the construction industry? These questions are more relevant than ever, some 30...
For the 2027 State Garden Show (LGS) in Neustadt a. d. Weinstraße, a building will be erected, using a CEM II/C-M (Q-LL) as binder containing 30 % calcined clay in combination with 15 % limestone...
The construction sector is among the most resource-intensive industries worldwide and accounts for more than half of global raw material consumption. Floor slabs, which constitute the largest share of...
For the last three decades, Hering Group based in Burbach, Germany, has been pioneering sustainable construction. In 1996, it became the first-ever European construction contractor with a certified...
This presentation highlights the practical use of the Ecoelement and demonstrates how to implement a successful, effortless transition to a circular construction industry. It aims to showcase the...
Floor systems have a major influence on the environmental footprint of structures owing to their high material content, which results in considerable global warming potential (GWP). The new DAfStb...
Compared with (normal-strength) steel fiber-reinforced concrete, the fiber volume fraction in ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is significantly higher. Consequently, the...
The further development of design concepts for reinforced concrete structures, in particular the punching shear design of flat slabs and footings, represents a key challenge in structural concrete....
The concept of circular construction counteracts the increasing scarcity of raw materials by reusing components or demolition material as new building materials. One approach to circular construction...
