Group Project! DocSchool BUILD.NATURE
The bike stand designed and produced by the phd students of the Doctoral School BUILD.NATURE is made of biobased and fully reuse- or recyclable materials.
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.
1 Year of IHB – Success in figures
IHB is celebrating its first anniversary and can look back on a year full of successes.

PRESENTS for the Institute!
Look what we got! A new testing maschine! We are so excited!
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!
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.
First successes in the Unistrand project
A big thank you goes out to Dieffenbacher and Swiss Krono for their support in the Unistrand project.
Going international – IHB at the WCTE 2022
While concrete topics were discussed in Istanbul, the Institute’s timber researchers travelled to Oslo for the WCTE 2022.

Going international – IHB at the fib Symposium
Five of our researchers travelled to Istanbul in June for the fib Symposium.
Welcome back!
We are happy to welcome all new students and old students back!
Digital production of highly efficient wood-wood connections
Currently, laminated timber is widely used beside classic sawn timber. The gluing allows for higher part length and involves an advantageous behavior regarding deformations due to shrinkage and lead to better, more regular mechanical properties. The drawback is a low material utilization factor. Starting from a tree trunk, only 25-30 % are part of the final product. Thus, the high-quality product has to be used as efficient as possible.
Circular Vienna
Circular economy is a great opportunity to contribute to increasing sustainable resource use.
