Article
The trend to sustainable construction in the building sector has greatly increased in recent years. In certain segments of the market (e.g. office and retail properties), building certificates are essential marketing aids and are having an increasing effect on competition, with questions of energy efficiency and interior air quality being of partic...
Conference Paper

In this study material selection and examples for a successful mix design for eco-mortars and Low Carbon-Concretes for Austrian infrastructure is shown. Powder-materials which can partly substitute Portland cement clinker in a granular mix for concrete are characterised regarding their environmental impact and specific technological criteria. A new...

Purpose Sustainability assessments of buildings using the life cycle approach have become more and more common. This includes the assessment of the environmental performance of buildings. However, the influence of the construction products used for the fabric, the finishing, and the technical building equipment of buildings has hardly been describe...

Waren Architekt und Bauingenieur ebenso wie Werkstoff und Konstruktion lange Zeit eine Einheit, haben sich diese im Laufe der Zeit mit steigenden Ansprüchen und technischen Möglichkeiten auseinanderentwickelt. Für die Konstruktionsplanung existieren Werkstoffe im Bauwesen primär als Rechenkennwerte. In jüngster Zeit sind Anforderungen an Gebäude un...
Article
As opposed to the financial sector structural engineers are used to avoid reaching ultimate state limits of a structure since centuries. From the old Romans till this day requirements on buildings and construction works have been increased tremendously. Life cycle design and sustainable construction require not only functionality, comfort and struc...
Article
Since a few years sustainable construction is a main topic in civil engineering. Including the operation phase the construction sector is the biggest consumer of natural resources, i.e. material, energy and soil surface. Whereas energy consumption for heating and cooling is now part of nearly all planning guidelines developers, architects and struc...
Article
Seit dem Brundtland Report [12] im Jahr 1985 “Unsere gemeinsame Zukunft” und dem Erdgipfel von Rio 1992 ist der Begriff “Nachhaltige Entwicklung” in unserer Gesellschaft allgegenwärtig. Nachhaltigkeit bedeutet demnach, die Bedürfnisse der heutigen Generationen zu decken, ohne die Möglichkeiten künftiger Generationen zu gefährden. Unter dem Begriff...
Article
Graz University of Technology, in co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Architects and Consulting Engineers, and the Provincial Government of Styria, intends to install a four-semester part-time postgraduate course in sustainable construction in the academic year 2007/08. The reason is increasing discussion about the implementat...
Article
Buiding construction and infrastructure projects are required to be planned to fulfill the requirements of functionality and architectural quality, along with static stability and fitness for use at low maintenance effort and high reconversion capability. Sustainable building means satisfying the requirements of building owners, users and society,...
Article
Since the 1985 Brundtland Report and the 1992 Rio Declaration were published, sustainable development has become a well-known global political paradigm. However, sustainability has been applied to forestry for centuries in Europe. The historic development of the issue of sustainability is briefly described as well as the possibilities of how sustai...
Article
Sustainable engineering will become one of the great approaches in civil engineering at the begin of the 21st century. Architects and civil engineers have to consider beside architecture, safety and economic efficiency additionally resource efficiency in the design of buildings. To optimise their building they will need tools to quantify the consum...
Article
Particle density is one of the most important values to characterize lightweight aggregates. Various test methods yield various densities, because the grain volume is defined by the test fluid used to determine the volume of the aggregate particles. Several standardized test methods are analysed and compared with each other. The test results are re...
Article

Cracks in the reactor shielding concrete of the TRIGA Mark II reactor, Vienna, caused an experimental and theoretical program to investigate the crack reason. After the investigation of the mechanical concrete data, the crack motion was measured as a function of various environmental temperatures. The temperature stress in the concrete was calculat...
