Betongelenke aus selbstverdichtendem und hochfestem Beton bei der neuen Elbebrücke Mühlberg

Neben der architektonisch ansprechenden Form weist die neue Elbebrücke Mühlberg mit Betongelenken aus selbstverdichtendem und hochfestem Beton technische Neuheiten auf. Für die Bemessung der Betongelenke sind Ergänzungen und Modifikationen der vorhandenen Bemessungsregeln gemäß [1] erforderlich. Weiterhin ist die umfängliche Erstanwendung von selbstverdichtendem und hochfestem Beton im Brückenbau eine weitere Herausforderung für die Beteiligten. In diesem Beitrag werden die neu aufgestellten Bemessungsregeln für die Betongelenke zusammenfassend erläutert und über die Erfahrungen im Zusammenhang mit der Anwendung von selbstverdichtendem und hochfestem Beton im Brückenbau berichtet. Concrete Hinge made of self compacting and high strength concrete for the new Elbe‐Bridge Mühlberg. Additional to a sophisticated architectural design the new Elbe‐Bridge Mühlberg shows technical novelty with concrete hinges made of self compacting and high strength concrete. For the design of concrete hinge in this construction few modifications and additions to the available design rules according to [1] are necessary. Furthermore the use of self compacting and high strength concrete in great volume is a challenge. In this paper the new design rules for concrete hinge are explained and the know how regarding on the use of self compacting and high strength in bridge construction are reported.     

Verstärken mit textilbewehrtem Beton

Strengthening with Textile Reinforced Concrete The strengthening by textile reinforced concrete noticeably increases both the ultimate load bearing behaviour as well as the serviceability. This will be shown in the paper using experimental results and numerical simulations of strengthened concrete members.     

Kellerwände aus unbewehrtem Beton

Basement Walls made of non‐reinforced Concrete In this contribution design nomogramms are developed on the basis of DIN 1045‐1 respectively DIN 1045 taking into account the ductility of non‐reinforced concrete walls in housing. Considering the deformation ability, the calculated load bearing capacity of walls under earth pressure can be increased significantly compared to common design rules. On behalf of the „Forschungsgemeinschaft Transportbeton e.V.”︁ a typed design ([5], [6]) was done on the basis of the design concept introduced here.     

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.
