Research and development
- Design developments for high-speed railroad bridges as well as wind turbines and their stability
- Investigations of resonance effects and fatigue phenomena of concrete structures
- Structural monitoring and experimental structural investigation
- non-destructive detection and assessment of damage
- Extending the service life of complex building structures through intelligent digitization ("digital models", "digital linking", "condition indicators")
- Research into methods of recording, linking and evaluating a wide range of data (e.g. geometry, material, stress, aging) in the context of the preservation and rehabilitation of e.g. bridges and historic railroad facilities
Expertise
- Determination of the current stability and serviceability of structures or parts of structures as a basis for estimating the remaining useful life and cost planning
- Investigations on bridge and building structures as well as on listed
- protected structures
- realistic determination of the boundary conditions for a planned
- Change in the use of buildings
- Carrying out force and displacement measurements
- Determination of vertical loads (ceiling or joist tests)
as well as horizontal loads (e.g. verification of the horizontal loading of railings)
Reference projects
