In civil engineering, carbon is typically regarded as a modern material to serve as
reinforcement in concrete structures. Compared to steel reinforcement, it features two …

Do double-curved shell bridges make sense, or should a bridge not rather be a linear
structure? At the very least shell bridges stimulate the senses and they promise the …

Abstract (DE) Schalentragwerke werden derzeit häufig aus Stahl oder Holz gebaut,
dagegen findet Beton aus diversen Gründen selten Verwendung. Dies liegt unter anderem …

For lightweight structures in the field of architecture and civil engineering, concrete shells
with negative Gaussian curvature are frequently used. One class of such surfaces are the …

This article is about research and development for a UHPC shell bridge. The bridge is
developed to be site-assembled from prefabricated shell and deck parts. Thereby, a “Dry,” …

This article is about research and development for a GFRC and UHPC shell bridge. The
bridge is developed to be mostly site-assembled from prefabricated shell and deck parts …

The structural efficiency of a double curved concrete shell is achieved by carrying spatial
loads primarily through membrane forces. However, these structures can often be …

These days, shell structures are generally made of steel or wood, whereas concrete is rarely
used. One reason for this is the complex and therefore cost-intensive production of formwork …

When it comes to doubly curved surfaces in construction, especially shell structures, the
skew ruled surfaces play a prominent role, because they are statically efficient and relatively …
