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...

Project delivery models such as „Project Alliancing“ and „Integrated Project Delivery“ have been used successfully abroad for many years. These models differ from traditional models in particular through early integration of key project...

Digital transformation in the AEC industry (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) is a key driver to enhance technical innovation in the branch and adds dynamic to all work processes and methods. A more differentiated understanding of the...

The aim of the present study is to be able to estimate the effects of a required dynamic calculation already in the preliminary design. For this purpose, certain design parameters of the specific bridge type – double track, two field spanning...

The rapidly advancing digitization and fast growing amounts of geodata present engineering geology with new challenges. Modern devices such as drones and laser scanners produce enormous amounts of data in a short time. Preparing these data and...

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 located in an area of very high seismic...

In order to be able to meet the current requirements for climate protection as well as the existing and future possibilities of digitalization and the resulting change in the construction industry, this article reflects on developments in research...
