Final report of SPP 1542
The final report on SPP 1542 "Concrete Light: Future Concrete Structures Using Bionic, Mathematical and Engineering Formfinding Principles" (DFG project number 172438440) has been published Open Access on the Saxon University Publication Server Qucosa. The SPP is now officially finished.
Reinforced concrete is the most widely used building material today. It can be produced universally and cheaply almost anywhere in the world. However, this is accompanied by high CO2 emissions and considerable consumption of natural resources. In the DFG Priority Programme 1542, a wide variety of approaches were therefore investigated to find out how the material can be used more efficiently and thus how concrete construction can be made fit for the future. This final report on SPP 1542 “Concrete Light“ (funded from 2011 to 2022) presents the most important results. The book was written in German and English and contains reports of the individual SPP projects as well as information about the joint SPP activities. Some demonstrators that have emerged in various projects are highlighted and a selection of follow-up projects that have emerged from the SPP topics is presented.
