The results of three ultimate load tests and of an extensive numerical parametric study (finite element analyses) on the load-bearing behavior of corrugated web girders with square web openings are presented. Reinforced web openings are considered....

Material modeling of concrete using modern numerical methods significantly accelerates the design process of structures. However, for multiscale modeling of such a heterogeneous material, the established homogenization methods are still very...

Carbon concrete as a material substitute for reinforced concrete must prove itself. The question arises as to how sustainable this building material combination is. In addition to the ecological perspective, this question can also be answered from...

Carbon-reinforced concrete offers new construction capabilities compared to classical steel-reinforced concrete. In order to exploit these, strategies are developed that aim at a material-minimised design and machine-aided manufacturing methods....

The hospital landscape in Germany is changing. The number of houses is declining and key indicators have changed. Forecasts assume that there will be further structural adjustments. A large number of megatrends can be identified as the causes....
