Using non-metallic reinforcement based on fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) is on the rise throughout Germany, at the latest since the introduction of the corresponding DAfStb guideline in early 2024....
When calculating stresses and deflections under service loads as well as when assessing the load-bearing capacity of unreinforced concrete elements subjected to bending, the higher flexural tensile...
To ensure the sustainability of its products, Max Bögl Group is pursuing a strategy implemented in a targeted manner at both the horizontal (such as building construction, infrastructural projects)...
Constructing and decommissioning buildings, particularly their structural frameworks, generates enormous greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As structural engineers, we thus make a major contribution to...
The construction industry contributes significantly to climate change owing to the quantities consumed and greenhouse gases emitted, which are also referred to as embodied emissions. This is...
The new CAD-PRO Xpert laser projector from LAP is based on a powerful technology platform that offers more colors, optimized line quality and improved safety – even under the most demanding...
The product quality of fresh concrete can be determined on the job site using a mobile water analyzer. The measuring method used is the same as for all Imko systems, but this probe has been specially...
Concrete is more than a robust construction material with industry character – it is a central design element of modernism, post-modernism and minimalism. In upgrading architectural concrete surfaces...
In this study, the sustainability of a concrete mix design for precast elements was improved. The objective had been to reduce the cement content to the minimum allowed by the standards without...
