The research activities of the department Fastening and Strengthening Methods cover fastenings in concrete, masonry and other materials, strengthening of reinforced concrete structures and numerical simulation of chemo-hygro-thermo-mechanical processes in reinforced concrete structures. The focus lies on dynamic loading as impact, seismic, fatigue, environmental influences and special loadings.
- Fastening technology
-
Fundamental research fastening technology investigates the load bearing behavior and the durability of various fastenings in concrete and masonry
- Innovative Strengthening with Fastenings
-
Based on experimental and numerical analyses strengthening methods for reinforced concrete structures are examined and new design models developed.
- Laboratory
-
Our well equipped laboratory enables smooth testing for research and approvals.
