In rural areas, small wastewater treatment plants offer an alternative to central wastewater treatment and are available for connections sizes of up to population equivalents (PE) of 50. Up to now,...
The subject of digitization represents a highly influential development that cannot be stopped and has become part of the lives of most people. Where does digitization stand in decentralized...
The condition assessment and quantification (measurement) of inspection findings in drainage and sewer systems is of critical importance. If and when required, follow-up processes are initiated on the...
In an urban environment – and usually in lower lying areas – mechanical pipe driving in contrast to the open-trench method is a pipe-laying method for sewers that reduces the restrictions for the...
When revising their sewage master plans, many municipalities find that the existing sewer network is unable to cope with the increasing number of heavy rainfall events. The strategies used include...
As part of the C ³ research project on carbon-reinforced concrete, an unbounded prestressing system has been developed, in particular, taking the requirements of building construction into account...
Reinforced-concrete beams are widely used in building construction and civil engineering. They often have full rectangular cross-sections which is advantageous for both the simple production on site...
Current investigations show that a large number of existing bridges in Germany need to be rehabilitated or reconstructed over the next few years in order to maintain the present level of functionality...
Resource efficiency in construction and in the operation of buildings is becoming increasingly significant. The objective of the MultiLC research project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry for...
Concrete as a construction material has an especially high resistance to compression. Concrete shells with a geometry optimized in a way such that primarily compressive forces arise are accordingly...
