GRK Summer School 2019 on Mineral-Bonded Composites for Enhanced Structural Impact Safety

The Dresden International Summer School (DISS) is organized by the Research Training Group GRK 2250 “Mineral-bonded composites for enhanced structural impact safety” established in 2017 by the German Research Society (DFG) at the TU Dresden. Existing concrete or reinforced concrete structures feature, as a rule, a relatively low resistance to various types of dynamic loading, such as earthquake, impact or blast. The goal of GRK 2250 is to bring substantial improvements in the impact resistance of existing buildings by applying thin layers of innovative, mineral-bonded composites. This approach should enhance public safety and the reliability of vitally important infrastructure in economically and ecologically viable manner.
