It is then used as a support for climbing and bracket [...] 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 connection [...] special scaffolding). After their removal, undamaged parts of the scaffold anchor may be reused at a new anchorage point. Cast-in fastening systems

A double-skin tank is a tank in which there is a second skin at least up to the height of the maximum permitted filling level and the interstitial space between the inner and outer skin is suitable as [...] as a monitoring space. A leak detection system (vacuum leak detector, pressure leak detector or leak detector using a liquid) connected to the interstitial space serves to detect leaks in the inner or outer

A bonded fastener consists of a fastening element and a bonding material (mortar). Bonded fasteners are available as injection systems or cartridge systems. They are placed into pre-drilled holes and connected [...] connected to the base material via bonding and/or a form fit. Bonded fasteners are used for fixing structural and non-structural components to concrete members, solid or perforated masonry or autoclaved [...] autoclaved aerated concrete masonry. If perforated masonry units are used, a mesh sleeve is inserted additionally. It is placed into the drilled hole prior to mortar injection and prevents the free flow of mortar

A power-actuated fastener is a bolt made of steel with a bolt head or threaded connection also made of steel. It is driven into the concrete with the help of a power-actuated fastening tool with or without [...] systems) to concrete members. One advantage of power-actuated fasteners is that they can be installed in a simple and time-saving manner using cartridge-fired bolts. Post-installed fastening systems

A sandwich panel consists of two faces and a supporting core. The supporting core is made of a thermally insulating material. It is connected to the two faces via an interference fit such that the three [...] components act together structurally. Sandwich panels are used as wall or roof elements and are fastened to a subframe through visible or concealed fasteners. Walls, roofs, facades

to their chemical composition and a special heat treatment, fine grain structural steels have a particularly fine and regular microstructure. The resulting presence of a higher number of grain boundaries [...] grain boundary strengthening. Fine grain structural steels therefore feature high strengths as well as a favourable elongation and ductility behaviour. Materials for metal construction
