The research project Meakado aims at developing adjusted design approaches for steel and steel-concrete composite structures in regions characterised by a low to moderate seismic activity. The methodology targets an optimal balance between safety and economical concerns. Two parallel ways are...

SCIENCE investigated the use of steel-concrete composite (SC) modular systems for use in industrial applications. This form of construction offers many advantages over traditional reinforced concrete (RC), including speed of construction and structural efficiency. The project focused on...

Although a number of researches have focused on various aspects of composite structures, no design guidance exists for typical situations that are more and more common in the current construction practice, such as concrete columns reinforced by several steel sections, concrete columns reinforced...

The European design rules for steel structures in EN1993 cover various failure modes and were developed using different methodologies with respect to accuracy and safety. Consequently, the safety level of these rules is neither homogeneous throughout their field of application, nor across the...

Alexander Bantz untersucht, ob Informationen der IFRS-Finanzberichterstattung für die Gestaltung wertorientierter Kennzahlen bei einer Konvergenz im Allgemeinen und im Speziellen bei Fair Value-Bilanzierung geeignet sind. Er zeigt Möglichkeiten und Grenzen Fair Value-basierter wertorientierter...
