Stability and Quasi-Ductility of Carbon Reinforced Concrete Structural Members (C04)

• Subject Area: Structural Engineering, Building Informatics and Construction Operation ; Production Systems, Operations Management, Quality Management and Factory Planning
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417002380

The structural behaviour of thin-walled carbon reinforced concrete members poses particularly challenging questions on aspects of stability and ductility. Within this joint subproject, interactions between material behaviour, cross-sectional layout and spatial form will be investigated with the goal to achieve structural response with high stiffness and stability in the service state as well as high deformation capacity prior to reaching the ultimate limit state. Research focused on stability, cross-sectional profiling and shell design will be conducted in Dresden. In Aachen, the stress redistribution mechanisms, interlock systems and folded structures will be the focus of the coordinated investigation.
