The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming increasingly important in infrastructure planning. For example, public clients are more and more frequently demanding the use of BIM methods for planning services. However, there is still a...

A 60 years old sliding bridge over the 42 m wide strait of Euripos, Greece was evaluated. The evaluation comprised the riveted truss girder steel bridge and the two tunnels into which she slides. It includes collection of existing documents,...

Within the framework of ecological transition, new procedures for the assessment of existing buildings are developed as reflection of new values given to the preservation of existing – partially historic – structures. Ecological transition added...

The new underground station Elifelet in Tel Aviv got a membrane roof consisting of 38 sails. The requirements of shading, rain protection and simultaneous ventilation are fulfilled with the interlocking membrane panels above the platform opening. At...

Within the scope of the paper, a causal analysis is presented on the basis of data on cost increases in public, municipal building construction projects. The reasons for the cost increases are structured with regard to various criteria and...

The development of new high-performance materials and the use of additive manufacturing techniques opens up new possibilities in the field of construction. The Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 280 (SFB/TRR 280), funded by the German Research...

While productivity in the German economy as a whole has increased significantly over the last three decades, the construction industry has not seen any progress over the same period. Construction is still a highly individualized process with a low...

Thermo-activated ground structures such as foundation elements offer the possibility of synergistically using structurally required concrete components as heat exchangers. These so-called energy geostructures can contribute to the decarbonization of...

Plants have evolved a multitude of different leaf shapes. The mechanical properties of leaves are defined by the internal composition of different tissues. Not many research efforts have been devoted to investigate biomechanical properties of the...

Usually, shear connectors such as headed studs are arranged in beam composite connections in a higher number. This results in a system effect affecting the probability of failure, which is not taken into account in the design codes. ...

Due to various factors, such as aging, increased traffic, and structural deficiencies the civil infrastructure in Austria is deteriorating. As a result, many older structures, including the Krumbach Bridge, can no longer support the required loads...

The design, planning and realisation process of the Bauhaus Archive tower show the great potential of an intensive constructive interdisciplinary cooperation of architects and engineers, but also the possibilities of an experimental computer-aided...

The 2 404 m long Pelješac Bridge, Croatia ranks among the most demanding bridges in the Europe in terms of both the technological complexity of construction and the complexity of the design. The bridge is designed as a multi-span cable-stayed...
