A composite beam consists of a combination of a steal beam andconcrete or reinforced concrete connected in a shear-resistant manner so that they act together as a single structural member. Composite b

A composite floor consists of a combination of profiled steel sheeting and concrete (and additional reinforcement, where applicable) connected in a shear-resistant manner so that they act together as

Corrosion protection systems are applied to the surfaces of metallic materials of low corrosion resistance. The primary goal is to extend the fields of use of such materials to more corrosive environm

The construction products described here are metal components formed by welding or soldering metal parts together. The construction techniques described here are structural works or parts thereof whic

Construction products and construction techniques for airborne sound insulation ensure that airborne sound insulation requirements in buildings can be met. Thermal and sound insulation products

Impact sound insulation products are placed under floating screed or used as part of suitable floor systems to improve the impact sound insulation of the floors. Usual delivery forms for the products

Pipe insulation products are used to insulate heating distribution and hot water pipes as well as cooling distribution and cold water pipes in buildings in accordance with the Buildings Energy Act (GE

These fasteners are used for rear fixing facade panels to the subframes of external wall cladding systems. The load-bearing parts of the fastener are made of stainless steel. The deformation-controlle

Scaffolds are temporarily connected to the structure with scaffold anchors. A scaffold anchor consists of a part permanently embedded in the concrete (e.g. threaded plate or anchor plate), the connect

DIBt grants general construction technique permits (aBG) for floor and wall construction techniques which significantly deviate from the Technical Building Rules or for which no generally recognised t

Reinforcement of soil serves to secure escarpments. The inserted geotextiles act via friction and interlocking with the surrounding soil. The stability, e.g. of embankment structures, is increased thr

Metal fasteners are post-installed mechanical fasteners for use in concrete. They are placed in pre-drilled holes and anchored in concrete through friction and/or an interference fit (mechanical inter

A fire-resistant partition with opaque and/or glazed panels is a non-load-bearing internal wall, usually consisting of a subframe (mullion and transom) clad on both sides (usually with mineral boards

Fire-resistant mobile partitions are multi-part systems, consisting of mobile elements and connections to the adjoining components, which meet the requirements for fire-resistant, non-load-bearing, se

Due to their thermally insulating effect, fire-protective render systems increase the fire-resistance duration of the clad components. The render system consists of a dry mortar, which is mixed with w

Reaction coatings are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which, when exposed to high temperatures in case of fire, start reacting creating a thermally insulating effect which increases the resist

Intumescent products are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which foam up or expands permanently when exposed to high temperatures which creates a fire-sealing effect. The expanded product seals

Fire-resistant joint sealing systems serve to seal joints in fire-resistant components inside buildings or structural works (e.g. at the joint of two fire-resistant walls). The installed system preven

Electrical service closures seal openings for electrical installations in fire-resistant components inside a building or structural work (e.g. in partitions, service ducts, suspended ceilings, timber

Non-load-bearing, fire-resistant wall and ceiling systems are used to delimit escape routes. Resistance to fire of building components

The construction techniques described here include fire-resistant walls, ceilings or roofs assembled from self-supporting sandwich panels in accordance with DIN EN 14509, including joint seals and fas

The construction techniques described here include non-load-bearing internal walls and partitions consisting of a subframe made of metal or wood clad with non-combustible panels or boards on both side

Ablation coatings are fire-stopping and fire-sealing products which are activated when exposed to high temperatures due to their chemical compositions. Chemical and/or physical reactions are triggered
