| Dear Sir or Madam,
|
| For many years now, month for month, we have been doing our best to inform you, dear readers, with thematically relevant contributions, as current as possible, on all aspects of the precast concrete industry. We hope that we have succeeded in presenting you a good mix of general news, contributions written by ourselves (e.g. on factory visits) and scientific technical reports by external authors. This has been combined with news from our association partners and project reports from you, our readers. All of this has included precasters and plant engineering firms, supplemented by time-tested patent publications, to strike the right chord ...

The new InterCityHotel Hannover Ost, scheduled for completion at the beginning of 2020, will be an eye-catcher at Andreas-Hermes-Platz: a 15-storey high-rise with a pentagonal ground plan. This is also the case with the new IntercityHotel: the reception area and bar are located on the ground floor, the hotel restaurant on the first floor and conference rooms on the second floor. „It is only from the 4th floor onwards that there are only hotel rooms and the floor plans of the floors remain the same,“ explains Dipl.-Ing. Kai-Uwe Oberdieck of LSM Ingenieure für Tragwerksplanung from Hanover, who is responsible for the project in the state capital of Lower Saxony ...

|

Figure: Solidian
|
New construction methods are often viewed with a very critical eye. One of the numerous questions, which must also be raised with regard to glass fiber-reinforced and carbon-reinforced bridges, is: “How durable is the system?” One of the first bridges was built in Albstadt in 2010, almost ten years ago – a good time for an interim assessment. In Albstadt-Lautlingen in the Swabian Jura, a pedestrian bridge made of reinforced concrete was past its prime. It displayed visual defects – such as rust stains – and posed a hazard to road traffic ...
