Dry joined with high-performance concrete

Ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is a cementitious high-perfor­mance material which, through an optimized grain structure and added steel fibers, achieves a compressive...

In the middle of last century, architects like Felix Candela and Heinz Isler have already built a large number of lightweight shell structures made of reinforced concrete. The results of their works...

1. Introduction This article reports on experimental tests carried out as part of a DFG research project at the iBMB, Department of Concrete Structures, at Braunschweig University of Technology. This...

Ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is characterized by an extremely dense structure and thus very high strengths as well as excellent durability properties. This enables slender...

Background Contrary to the monolithic design, for segment construction single building units are prefabricated in the precast concrete factory for later assembly at the construction site. Using joints...
