Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. Floor slabs in buildings account for approximately 60 % of the concrete volume used in building construction. Current flat slab...
Amid increasingly complex requirements for construction materials and products, building material producers are undergoing a transformation to become system suppliers while developing innovative...
In non-metallic reinforced concrete members subject to bending the limitation of deflection at the serviceability limit state (SLS) is often decisive. Consequently, the full potential of this...
To make reinforced concrete components more durable, and thus more sustainable, extensive research into the field of non-metallic reinforcement (NMR) has been conducted in recent years, giving rise to...
Carbon concrete is becoming increasingly important, especially for pedestrian and bicycle bridges. The corrosion resistance and high tensile strength of the reinforcement allow for reduced component...
This paper deals with the integration of recycled carbon fiber (rCF) into fiber-reinforced concrete to fully exploit its environmental and economic potential. Carbon fiber obtained from the waste of...
Since 2012, Ginkgo Projektentwicklung GmbH based in Dresden, Germany, has specialized in the pretensioning of carbon textile strands and uses its patented, state-of-the-art processes for producing...
Innovative fiber composite solutions for lightweight construction are on the rise, offering new perspectives for the construction industry. Be it temporary site roads, railway infrastructure, or...
Over the past 15 years, extensive experience has been gained in the repair of concrete structures using carbon-reinforced concrete. This material excels with its outstanding properties, namely its...
Conserving our natural resources effectively is one of the most important socio-political goals of our time. This includes meeting the demand for materials in the construction industry in a way that...
