Working Group Draft, Planning, Dimensioning and Design

Construction using fiber reinforced matrices, hybrid technologies and multi-material lightweight design requires new and/or different approaches to drafting, planning, dimensioning and design. Existing methods can be adapted, design techniques have to be reconsidered and renewed in accordance with the materials. The working group offers a discussion, exchange and working platform for interested architects, engineers, inspectors, building authorities, clients and construction companies as well as research institutions.

The main topics of the WG include:

• Development and provision of appropriate planning tools
• Material-appropriate design techniques
• Interdisciplinary dimensioning and verification
• Connection and joining techniques
• System integration of the different disciplines
• Fire protection
• Building physics
• Construction chemistry, surface coating, weather protection
• Building Information Modeling (BIM)
• Regulations and standards, approvals
• Best prctice examples

Our aim is to develop and provide guidelines/ knowledge databases etc. for the use of fiber reinforced matrices in the construction industry. This requires close cooperation with other WGs of the CU Bau network. This joint work with other WGs of Composites United e.V. in the fields of automotive, aerospace, ceramics, politics and sustainability generates an addes value that is unique worldwide.
