Cost targets are missed in 72 % of factory planning projects and time targets in 60 %. This is mainly due to inadequate communication and coordination between those involved in planning. To meet these challenges, new methods and tools must be used...

In recent years, temperature increases, temperature fluctuations and heavy rainfall events have led to an increase in extreme rock avalanches and landslides. In their runout areas, these lead to flow-like mass movements that endanger settlement...

In 2019, the bearing capacity of shaft grouted ductile piles in a typical Viennese soil, the Quaternary sediments, was investigated based on their load-deformation behavior as part of the research project „Unteres Hausfeld 2”. Large-scale tests...

For laboratory investigations, 3D laser scanning technology can now be used for more targeted examination of steel components. The principle of 3D laser scanning is that a laser beam is projected onto a surface by a scanner and the reflected rays...

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....

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...

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...

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....

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....

Even within nominally homogenous soil layers, spatial variations of soil properties occur. Current design methods simplify varying soil properties by applying constant values. In order to achieve a reliable geotechnical design, the local variance of...

The CarboLight Bridge is part of the modernised exhibition in the “Deutsches Museum” in Munich towards future-oriented innovations. With a length of 9.5 m, the bridge is designed as a filigree structure consisting of two gently inclined V-shaped...

The sawcut depth of transverse contraction joints in jointed plain concrete pavements affects the crack induction in early age concrete and the states of stress around the contraction joints caused by temperature during operation. ...

Large construction projects in Germany are seldom completed within the planned timeframe and budget. The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) model, which is a promising solution for the management of large construction projects, offers many advantages...
