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
