An element wall should give a monolithic impression when in use. There is to be a firm bond between the shells and the filling concrete. The bond achieved has an influence mainly on: the load-bearing...
As a result of the rapid population growth, the related increase in urbanization and therefore an ever more clearly evident shortage of land, the construction of tunnels in concrete design will...
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...
