This paper analyzes the existence of overregulation within prescriptive requirements by building regulations and by requirements within approval procedures. The fire safety concept of buildings is determined by material requirements taking into...

As part of the FOSTA research project P1328 (IGF No. 19964 N), a design approach for thin-walled, cold-formed steel sections was developed. It transfers the cross-sectional load bearing capacity, which is determined following the American standard...

Components for timber constructions are often based on geometrically simple basic shapes in terms of their longitudinal form and cross-section. To produce these components, the wood is mainly processed in a straight, slender form, leaving curved or...

The buildings presented here are constructed above the ground using columns with traditional foundations on the one hand and groups of trees on the other. In both cases, there is no need to remodel and seal the overbuilt area, which can be...

This article deals with the numerical modelling of a 33-meter-deep excavation in the overconsolidated soil of Vienna, utilizing diaphragm walls as retaining structures which will be integrated into the newly constructed shaft of the metro station...

Compared to other structural systems, cable-stayed bridges are marked by their exceptional architectural appeal. However, these bridges have several disadvantages – their deformability under asymmetrical or local loads the relatively significant...

Tunnelling is one of those disciplines that is extremely dependent on assumptions made in the design phase, which can then be subject to major deviations in the construction phase. These deviations can lead to major delays in the construction...

Construction companies lack junior staff for construction management. However, according to a Germany-wide survey of students, the profession lacks attractiveness. The conflict between the traditional job profile and the current desires of junior...
