Langzeitverhalten geklebter Bauteile aus Holz und hochfestem Beton bei natürlichem Klima

Longterm‐behavior of glued full‐scale specimens made from wood and high performance concrete at natural climate conditions The advantages of the construction materials wood and concrete could be used effectively in wood‐concrete‐composite constructions. The composite structure shows optimized load carrying capacity, a better vibrational behavior, higher noise protection and a higher thermally activatable mass in comparison to constructions that are entirely made from wood. Mechanical fasteners or form fitting connections are state‐of‐the‐art for connecting timber to concrete. This leads to more or less flexible bond. By using the adhesive technology a ”rigid bond“ can be achieved and it is possible to combine the advantages of a ”dry construction method“ with the advantages of the prefabrication. The questions of the production technology and the short‐term behavior of glued wood‐concrete composite constructions were answered yet at the department of timber structures at the University of Kassel. Knowledge of long‐term behavior was missing for an application in construction practice. This was studied in the last three years in detail. The experimental und numerical investigations on full‐scale specimens and the conclusions for a practical application are reported in the following article.
