After the successful completion of the first funding period, the second funding period of the ‘Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 280’ was also approved by the DFG. The project involves a collaboration between RWTH Aachen University and TU Dresden. In this CRC/TRR with a total of 22 research projects, new construction strategies for carbon reinforced concrete are being invetigated to create the foundation for future construction. The aim is to find new approaches to construction using carbon reinforced concrete that are specifically tailored to its properties, with the long-term goal of replacing steel-reinforced concrete.
The core question of the project of the Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering is concerned with refining the LCSA methodology for carbon-reinforced building components to improve its applicability for various stakeholder groups.
The visions and goals of the project of the Institute of Sustainability in Civil Engineering are:
Partner: TU Dresden, RWTH Aachen University, Universität Hamburg, IPF Dresden
Period: July 2024 until June 2028 (second phase)
Funding amount: approx.12 Mio. Euro
