Thin-walled plates and shells as components for customized slabs | Funding Period 2

The aim of this project is to investigate whether efficient load transfer is also possible with partial bending behavior. The hypothesis is pursued that a modular system of faceted or gridlike sheets of carbon-reinforced concrete members can transfer loads via multiple possible load paths. Developing rib-like assemblies of plane plates and shells, highly efficient in-plane bending is sought in webs and web grids. Investigations will be conducted at long-axis level, crosssectional level using components and assembled components. Connections including both joints of prefabricated members and intersections of faceted elements and segmented cross sections are investigated. Contact categories will be worked out and investigated.
