The goal of this research project is to find an answer to today's most urgent social and ecological questions as the global population continuously increases and the available resources remain limited. As the central approach to the solution of this problem, adaptive elements will be included in the structure, the interior and the façade of an experimental 37 m tall building. This paper introduces the topic of adaptivity in building structures and provides an overview of the research topics applied in this globally unique adaptive high-rise building. Due to the complexity of research topics of this Collaborative Research Centre, this paper only covers the research concerning the experimental high-rise building.
Mit zunehmenden Scheibengrößen und in vielen konstruktiven Anwendungen werden bei Fassaden-und Dachverglasungen immer häufiger Einscheiben-Sicherheitsgläser (ESG) verwendet. Diese Gläser erfahren während ihrer Lebensdauer in der alltäglichen Nutzung (z.B. aus Reinigung, Betretung/Begehung, etc.) Oberflächenschäden, häufig in Form von Kratzern. An genutzten Fassadenverglasungen und betretbaren Dachverglasungen aus ESG wurden visuell und mikroskopisch sichtbare Kratzer charakterisiert und typisiert. Hierzu wurden die Oberflächenschäden mit Hilfe einer fluoreszierenden Eindringprüfung zunächst makroskopisch detektiert und mit Hilfe von mikroskopischen Untersuchungen (Lichtmikroskop (LM), Raster-Elektronen-Mikroskop (REM)) und dreidimensionalen, taktilen Messungen (Profilometer) vermessen. Characterisation of surface flaws on fully tempered facade and roof glazing. With increasing pane dimensions and in many structural applications in facades and roof glazing fully tempered glass (FTG) is frequently used. Due to everyday use, the glasses are getting damaged (e.g. due to cleaning or accessing) in the form of surface flaws, especially in terms of scratches. On the basis of used façade glazing and roof glazing of FTG, visually and microscopically scratches were characterized and classified. For this, the flaws were macroscopically detected by a fluorescent penetrant and subsequently surveyed by microscopic investigations (light microscope, scanning-electronmicroscope (SEM)) and three dimensional tactile measurements (profilometer).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
