Abstract:

In the past decades much has been undertaken in Germany in the field of sustainable infrastructure due to limited natural and financial resources. The focus is more on strengthening and retrofitting of an existing infrastructure than on its renewal. Many concepts for strengthening have been developed in Germany and these have been successfully applied in many cases. However, every single case of retrofitting of an existing structure requires an individual concept. Nevertheless, the established concepts can still be applied with certain modifications.
