Exploring the potentials of adhesively bonded connections for CRC modularity (C09#)

• Subject Area: Structural Engineering, Building Informatics and Construction Operation ; Construction Material Sciences, Chemistry, Building Physics
• Term: since 2025
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417002380

The objective of this project is to examine the characteristics of bonded joints between components and cross-section parts composed of carbon-reinforced concrete. The objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the stress states within the bondline and to develop a suitable joint design. To this end, detailed experimental and numerical analyses will be conducted to establish principles for the design of robust and resource-efficient bonded joints. A particular focus is on debonding on demand, which is a prerequisite for the reuse of carbon-reinforced concrete components.
