Façade 4.0
In the project Prefab.Facade we collaborate with an interdisciplinary consortium to advance the thermal refurbishment of buildings.
3D printing formwork elements
Using 3D printed elements as formwork in order to shutter individual voids within structurally optimised concrete girders has worked well in previous projects.
First large-scale tests in the Unistrand Project
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is a cornerstone material in structural panel design. Understanding its mechanical properties is crucial for accurate design and modeling.
Circular Vienna
Circular economy is a great opportunity to contribute to increasing sustainable resource use.
Bamboo in construction – Let’s use the fastest growing plant on earth!
We are currently investigating the use of fresh bamboo fibres for the production of structural panels.
Resource-efficient reinforced concrete beams!
Experimental tests to discover new ways to optimise reinforced concrete beams.
Teambuilding
We took the word teambuilding literally and built different things in teams this year. From milled stools to the department logo to small rammed walls. One team was also responsible for the food and it was delicious!
