or according to national test recommendations in coordination with the "Deutschen Institut für Bautechnik" (DIBT). This testing is carried out in close cooperation with the client's development departments.

The basis for the assessment of the tests is additionally the approval regulations for anchors and/or shear connectors

Further research fields

For new issues, such as

  • the determination of the fatigue resistance of building materials and building products
  • the determination of the durability of anchorage systems
  • the development of new types of fasteners and joining principles to couple concretes of different ages, or
  • Reliability analyses for redundant systems

theoretical and experimental basic investigations are carried out, which also include adapted design models.
