The industrial revolution has reduced human exposure to natural microbes. Our urban environment, buildings and playgrounds moved from green to gray. At the same time our food became more processed....
This presentation discusses the repair and strengthening of reinforced-concrete structures with Ultra-high Performance Fibre Reinforced Shotcrete (UHPFRSC),with special focus on the crack-bridging...
In an increasing number of biaxial reinforced concrete slabs, void formers are arranged to displace concrete in those areas, where it is not needed to ensure bearingcapacity and serviceability limit...
Since the mid-1980s, the Department of Recycling in Construction at Brandenburg Technical University has risen to the challenge of dealing with sustainability in existing building stock, for the...
With publication of DIN 1045-2:2023-08, the technological concreteregulations for use of recycled aggregate were significantly extendedin comparison to DAfStb code of practice “Concrete According to...
In [1], an approach for verifying the shear resistance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) girders is presented. This approach follows Eurocode 2 and the German DAfStb Guideline on „Steel Fiber...
In [1], an approach for determining the moment resistance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) girders with mixed reinforcement is presented. This approach considers the contribution of the steel...
Point-supported slabs – flat slabs – allow for an efficient and variable room design and thus sustainable use of buildings. Due to the concentrated load application and the associated risk of punching...
The DafStb code of practice “Concrete floor slabs and roofs made of precast hollowcore slabs,” with date of issue January 2023, has been published by Beuth-Verlag in Berlin in three parts: Part 1:...
In 2021, the German Committee for Reinforced Concrete (DafStb) formulated, in a decision of principle, the goal that climate neutrality of concrete construction methods must be achieved by 2024 at the...
