Project Description


Project description:

The resource-efficient use of materials is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. By using high-strength steels, high-performance composite columns have been developed that provide very high load-bearing capacities with particularly slim cross-sections. In addition to the resulting low material consumption, this construction method is characterized by good behavior in the event of fire.

However, there is currently a lack of specific connection solutions for supporting beam and slab systems. The localized and concentrated load transfer poses a particular challenge when several columns are stacked on top of each other. In addition, a direct load transfer from the slab or beams to the column core must be ensured at the connections. In a research project at the Chair of Metal Structures at TUM, economical and easy-to-install connections for beams and slabs to high-performance composite columns are being developed.

The research area offers the opportunity to work on various topics. The exact focus of the research project must be discussed and agreed upon in the first days of the research stay. Possible topics are:
- Assisting in the execution of large-scale tests on beam-column or slab-column connection constructions
- Evaluation of test data
- Parameter study using numerical models
- Small-scale tests on material properties and residual stresses

In the final phase of the research stay, the research results should be compiled in written form.
