Klebetechnik für den schnellen und wirtschaftlichen Bau von Verbundbrücken

Adhesive bonding method for a quick and economical construction of composite bridges. The present paper treats a new method for the composite bridge construction. In this method the deck slab has to be manufactured of prefabricated units glued with each other. The composite with the steel girder is partially achieved by a slush coat of epoxy. In this way adhesive bonding methods are making a quick, economical and high‐quality construction of composite bridges possible.     

Beton‐Bodenplatten für Hallen‐ und Freiflächen: Konstruktion und Bemessung

Concrete Floor Slabs for Indoor and Outdoor Areas – Design and Construction Concrete floor slabs for industrial buildings are used as driveways, stock areas and foundations, e. g. for high rack warehouses. It is very exacting to serve the customer's demands as for slippery safety, evenness, wear and chemical resistance, durability and stability. Especially for concrete floor slabs it is particularly important to have an entire view on the construction and building requirements to fix an economic solution in cooperation with the client. The aim of this article is to summarize the substantial design and construction rules for concrete floor slabs in order to facilitate the finding of an ideal solution.     

Gründung von Offshore‐Windenergieanlagen – Entscheidungshilfen für Entwurf und Bemessung

Foundations for offshore wind energy converters – Recommendations for concept and design. About 25% of the capital costs of an offshore wind farm are required for fabrication and installation of foundation structures. This relatively large percentage results from the fact that foundations have to be designed for the local site conditions within the wind farm. The possibilities for pre‐fabrication onshore are limited. Consequently, the design of safe but economic foundations is of great importance for the cost‐effectiveness of the whole wind farm. Within the present paper various foundation concepts adopted from conventional offshore engineering are compared and the selection of an appropriate foundation in respect to the conditions in North and Baltic Sea is discussed. The analysis shows that not in any case all of these foundation concepts are equally suitable. The most important criteria are the soil conditions at the respective location and the resulting fabrication and installation efforts.
