The Institute of Concrete Construction has offered the additional course "Experimental Beam" for particularly interested students in the winter semester 2023/24.
The aim of the course is to teach students of civil engineering (Bachelor's and Master's degree programs) a better understanding of the bending and shear force failure of reinforced concrete beams, but also to further inspire them for scientific work. First, a reinforced concrete beam was designed and structurally analyzed. This was followed by the production and execution of the tests to determine the bending and shear load-bearing capacity in the test hall. Finally, the test results were analyzed and interpreted.
We would like to thank all participants for their great interest and look forward to offering the course again next winter semester.
