Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is a cementitious high-performance material which, through an optimized grain structure and added steel fibers, achieves a compressive...
Partial area loading with biaxial or triaxial load propagation occurs, for example, at bearings, anchors, precast element joints and various contact surfaces of concrete structures. The high contact...
The “Guideline on the Certification of Conformity of Welded Lattice Girders as Rigid Reinforcement” (official German title of the December 2017 draft: Richtlinie für die Übereinstimmungsbestätigung...
In the past decades, corrosion-induced damage has repeatedly led to severe component failure in prestressed concrete structures. This is typically caused by inadequate design or poor workmanship,...
The design and construction part of the DAfStb Guideline on UHPC replicates the structure of EN 1992-1-1. The verification methods are based on the design principles for reinforced and prestressed...
The BMBF joint research project on R concrete was presented with its objectives, contents, and the first results on the 61st BetonTage congress. On the occasion of the 62nd BetonTage congress 2018,...
Generally speaking, the use of precast elements in bridge construction is a tried-and-tested method, which, in Germany, is usually restricted to combining structural precast elements with cast-in-situ...
The “WooCon” research project – financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of the National Research Program 66 “Resource Wood” and by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of...
Carbonation is the physical and chemical reaction between CO2 and hardened cement paste in the presence of pore water, and in this process carbon from the atmosphere is sequestered. The authors of an...
For several generations now, Portland cements have constituted the basis for the concrete model of success, a building material which, like no other, characterizes our environment and of which...
