Overview
Objectives:
The research project will provide an overview of existing connecting joint systems and their practical experiences and their tests. A Ranking of the damage mechanisms and the decisive parameters and of the tests will be compiled and used as the basis for the following research projects: "Part 2: Behaviour of connecting joint systems using laboratory tests" (VSS 2007/402) and "Part 3: Behaviour of connecting joint systems in the practice” (VSS 2007/403).
Methodology:
The project has following phases:
- Development of implication of information and literature reviews
- Creating a questionnaire; poll
- Create a checklist; Property inspections / health scans
- Evaluating the results of the surveys and the property inspections
- Damage assessment and derivation of damage mechanisms and their decisive parameters
- Selection and defining the test methods
- Ranking and proposal of the most promising systems for follow-up projects
- Interim Financial Reporting at EK 4:07
- Submit proposals for the decision on the request of the follow-up research projects
