Zur Berechnung von Holz-Beton-Verbundträgern mit Methoden der mathematischen Optimierung

Calculation of timber-concrete composite structures using mathematical optimization methods.

Timber-concrete composite structures have many advantages over conventional timber and re inforced concrete structures. The efficiency of such hybrid structures significantly depends on the properties of the com posite joint. This article presents a novel structural element for the joint of timber-concrete composite bridges, which was developed as part of a research project at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. In contrast to standard calculation methods, an energy method and the mathematical optimization is applied for the numerical analysis of the hybrid structure.
