Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 453596084
In TP A05, multi-functional, thin, highly resilient and durable base layers made of concrete will be engineered. Low-cement or cement-free concrete matrices with low environmental impact are reinforced with mineral-impregnated carbon fibers (MCF). The excellent mechanical interactions between the continuous MCF reinforcement and the sustainable concrete matrices result in fine, multiple cracking and allow for the jointless construction of the base layer. Additionally, the high electrical conductivity of the carbon fibers enables the detection of load and moisture conditions as well as the thermal activation of the road.
