A new methodology for the efficient design of modular carbon-reinforced concrete structures (A01)

• Subject Area: Applied Mechanics, Statics and Dynamics ; Mechanics
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417002380

The central challenge of this project is the further development of the modular structure generator for the generation of practice-relevant designs of carbon-reinforced concrete structures. On the one hand, the model reduction technique for modular structures developed in the first phase will be improved. On the other hand, various constructional requirements for modular concrete structures and functionality groups of modules will be developed and investigated. Furthermore, the construction kit will be extended by modules from other projects. To increase the efficiency and quality of structure generation, novel assembling strategies and machine learning will be used. Damage and plasticity will be taken into account.
