The environmental impact of infrastructure projects is becoming an increasingly important issue in engineering design. There is a growing pressure from governments and owners/clients to realize...
The vibration characteristics of large pipe molds with external vibrators had also been the focus of a research project of IFF Weimar e.V. that was completed in 2009. The project was supported by a...
Epoxy concrete with positive material properties
In search of different rehabilitation methods using mineral building materials as an alternative to the renewal of sewers and to conventional liners,...
The new Tyrol Department Store in Innsbruck opened its doors at the beginning of March. If one believes the press releases, the choice of material for the façade was an essential element for the star...
Products made of photocatalytic concrete are mainly achieved by cements that are doped with photocatalytic titanium dioxide, therefore only white and grey products are commonly available. There is...
This question is literally meant and makes good sense. After all, the largest trade show for construction in Europe is sure to wear out many a pair of shoes once again – or do you perhaps know...
The International IFF Conference is one of very few events held about innovations and visions on everything concerning developments of building materials, processing technology and processing...
These were the key issues on which renowned speakers from both industry and research expressed their opinions and took part in discussions from 9 to 11 February 2010 at the Edwin-Scharff-Haus congress...
Why energy harvesting?
The energy harvester introduced here converts energy from low-frequency oscillations of building structures
(2 to 5 Hz) such as, e.g., at bridges into electrical energy to be...
For control purposes concrete is normally required to be tested under uniaxial compression, indirect tension and flexure. In view of the importance of concrete cube, cylinder and core testing within...
