new flexible 4P-bending setup

Published on 16 November 2022 at 13:50

Today we tested our newly "in-house" designed 4 point bending setup for small specimens out of brittle, softening or ductile materials. Results look pretty amazing.

Concrete in Vienna

28 Apr 2025 10:13

While in Vienna for the FraMCoS conference I had some spare time to visit some real concrete. The Wotrubakirche is based on a design by Fritz Wotruba and built between 1974 and 1976. The outside is impressive with all the concrete blocks and the inside is remarkably light. It is a mustgo when in Vienna.

Last week was the wondefrfull conference FraMCoS in Vienna. It was already the 12th edition of the conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures which is organised once every three years. The first edition was held in Breckenridge in 1992, where I also was present. I missed over the years 3 editions. This time I presented 2 contributions of our work on self healing and strain hardening concrete and on testing and modelling of fibre-matrix interface.
