Universal adhesives are used across large surface areas to bond floor coverings to the substrate. They can consist of one or two components. Acrylate dispersions, epoxides, polyurethanes, silane-modif

DIN 4426 stipulates that anchoring devices for personal fall protection equipment as well as rope and rail systems need to be provided for building maintenance. Since there are no product standards or

The work area 'Strengthening of concrete structures with bonded reinforcement' comprises kits for retrofitting aimed at increasing the flexural and shear resistance of existing concrete structures (st

Soil mixing techniques serve to create unreinforced structural elements (single elements or bodies of soil made of single elements) through grouting of the soil with a binder suspension on site. With

Driven piles made of ductile cast iron pipes are displacement piles and are used when soil strata have no or little load-bearing capacity. The piles transfer the loads to lower strata with higher load

Vibro stone columns are unreinforced pile-like structural elements. They belong to the group of displacement piles and can be used as load-bearing or foundation elements for transferring loads from st

Micropiles serve to transfer axial tensile and/or compressive forces into the ground. They are used, among other things, as foundation elements. Micropiles are driven into the ground using drilling or

Soil nailing is a measure used to increase the tensile and shear strength of the soil to such an extent that the nailed soil can be considered as a monolithic block for verification purposes. Soil nai

Composite columns consist of a combination of steel sections and concrete or reinforced concrete. The steel sections are completely or partially embedded in concrete. Composite columns have much highe

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
