Publication on the EIV-BAU research project

EIV - this abbreviation stands for the electrodynamic electro-impulse method. This method is based on a physical phenomenon that can loosen massive structures, for example made of concrete or masonry, with the help of specific voltage pulses. The big advantage: EIV is almost vibration- and emission-free. This creates an alternative to hydraulic demolition hammers and to demolition work with a lot of noise, vibrations and dust. This is particularly important when working in sensitive building structures, when building in existing structures and when building while the building is still in use. Likewise, depending on the basic unit, CO2 emissions that are harmful to the climate and health can be replaced by electrical energy.

Together with interdisciplinary partners, IBB is researching the transfer of this technology to practical building applications. Part of the research work has now been made available to international colleagues as an open access publication (https://doi.org/10.1007/s42107-023-00617-1).

We hope you enjoy reading this publication and that you gain as much knowledge as possible. If you are interested in the further development of this technology or have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Jens Otto at IBB.
