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

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

Cesspits are watertight tanks for domestic waste water containing faecal matter (sewage). Given that cesspits are not connected to the sewer system, professional emptying and disposal must be carried

Auxiliary materials and accessories for external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) especially include adhesive foams for external thermal insulation made from cellular plastics, reinforcing

Insulation products for external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS) are components for integration into the system. They are fixed to the substrate using adhesive mortar and/or mechanical fi

Membrane structures are composed of thin, fabric-like materials. Due to their low self-weight, they are suitable for spanning large areas. They are used, e.g., as space-dividing, thermally insulating

Insulating render systems contain, apart from the usual render components, aggregates such as polystyrene, perlite or an aerogel. The insulation performance achieved in this way is comparable to that

Walk-on glazing is designed for foot traffic. A vertical imposed load of maximum 5 kN/m 2 is assumed under normal use conditions. Glazing accessible for maintenance and glazing with fall-through prote

Fire-retardants serve to improve the reaction-to-fire performance of solid timber or wood-based materials treated with them. Through treatment with the fire-retardant, the solid timber or wood-based m

Non-return valves serve to prevent backflow of rainwater or wastewater from the connected sewer system into the parts of the property drainage system lying below the backwater level. Equipment for dra

Staples are used in timber construction to permanently connect elements (e.g. wood-based panels, gypsum boards, wood-fibre insulation products) with timber elements. Mechanical fasteners in timber con

Other tendons include special prestressing components, e.g. for realising innovative construction techniques based using prestressing systems, also in combination with other manufacturing and reinforc

Flexible sheets for concrete waterproofing are used as an additional waterproofing measure for waterproof concrete systems. For this, the flexible sheet is inserted into the formwork prior to concreti

The construction products described here are components made of fine grain structural steels. The construction techniques described here are structural works or parts thereof assembled from these comp

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

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

Concrete constituents

For external post-tensioning, the tendons lie outside the cross-section of the concrete member, but inside the envelope of the structure. These post-tensioning systems are used for prestressing concre

This work area covers load-bearing plastic elements for swimming pools and water slides, in particular elements made of fibre-reinforced plastics. Plastics construction

Reaction resin concretes or reaction resin mortars are used for strengthening and repairing timber structures, where applicable in combination with textile-reinforced rebars. Timber construction

Chimneys serve to discharge flue gases into the outside air via an outlet above roof level. They must be designed in such a way that no flue gases can escape into living areas and the surrounding buil
