Institute of Construction Materials
The highly motivated team of the Institute includes both experienced and young engineers and technicians. The most of the academic staff members have a degree in the field of Civil Engineering, Construction Materials, Chemistry or Physics, who later specialized themselves in Construction Materials Research. The students and the graduate assistants provide as well a significant research contribution.
Briefly about us
The research activities are based on current issues in building materials technology, whereby the solution of acute problems in building practice and the creation of solid theoretical foundations are strived for in equal measure. The research is characterised above all by interdisciplinary work. Current research focuses include in particular:
- Additive manufacturing of cement-based building materials
- Rheology
- Mechanical behaviour of composites
- Impact behaviour of cementitious composites
- Sustainable building materials
- Multifunctional building materials
