Abstract A resource-efficient use of concrete as a construction material can be achieved by adapting the individual shape of a component under consideration to the stresses that occur and by arranging composite construction materials (e. g. reinforcing steel, prestressing steel or structural steel) in suitable areas of the component. Due to the advancing digitalisation in the construction industry, for example in the context of Building Information Modeling, computer-aided 3D modelling methods are increasingly being used in the planning of structures. These allow engineers to design components ..read more

Abstract The consistent evolution of concrete has led to a variety of concrete types that enhance the material's versatility, cost-efficiency and sustainability. Despite the rapid development and extensive research regarding steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) in the last decades, there are still knowledge gaps on the material's resistance against locally applied tension loads on anchor bolts, as well as the interaction of possible non-homogenous fibre orientations on the anchorage axisymmetric stress field. This aspect becomes particularly relevant since anchors are placed at the component ..read more

Abstract In civil engineering, carbon is typically regarded as a modern material to serve as reinforcement in concrete structures. Compared to steel reinforcement, it features two substantial benefits: It is not sensitive to corrosion, and has an enormously increased tensile strength. In contrast, carbon reinforcement is sensitive to lateral pressure and lacks the property of strain hardening. As a first step of establishing carbon reinforced concrete as a new building composite material, carbon reinforcement has basically served to replace the state-of-the-art steel reinforcement. This target ..read more

Abstract Due to climate changes and environmental considerations, the current transportation changes to modern vehicles with different vehicles models and engine types. Especially vehicles with alternative types of drive like electrical vehicles are increasing. This arises the question whether modern vehicles such as electric vehicles lead to an increased fire risk as well as an increased heat release rate. In this article, a new fire design approach for modern vehicles is presented to evaluate the fire risk of electric vehicles compared to vehicles with combustion engine with respect to the f ..read more
