Full title: Development of a slender, prestressed precast floor slab with carbon reinforcement
Prestressed concrete hollow and prestressed TT slabs are very material-efficient and lightweight structures and make an important contribution to sustainability. Nevertheless, they must meet the requirements for durability, serviceability and load-bearing capacity. In building construction, the specifications for sound insulation and fire protection must also be complied with. Prestressing steel is currently used for prestressing. An alternative are carbon fabrics, which can be prestressed in strips and, compared to prestressing steel, allow thinner cross-sections, i.e. slimmer chords and webs.
The aim of the student project is to develop a slender, technically feasible, prestressed precast floor slab using carbon fabrics that is as resource- and material-efficient as possible. A parameter study will analyze which materials and geometries are most suitable for various practical applications. The student will be supervised by the architecture and engineering office Kahnt & Tietze, which develops innovative building systems with various partners. A workplace can be provided both in the office in Dresden and in Leipzig.
