C³ - V2.5A

Carbon Concrete Composite C³ – Load adapted carbon rebars
for an economical use in the construction industry

The aim of the project C³ - V2.5A was the further geometric development and Period
experimental validation of novel carbon reinforcing bars and the development 01.01.2019 – 28.02.2021
of adapted economic manufacturing technologies for a large-scale use in the
construction industry. The focus was on the targeted exploitation of the high Project management
load-bearing potential of carbon fibers to achieve the required tensile and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hubert Jäger
bonding property values in civil engineering, irrespective of the matrix ma-
terial used. For this objective, a reinforcing rebar profile adapted to this new Contact
carbon concrete construction method was developed and implemented as an Dr.-Ing. Mike Thieme
industrial example within the scope of the collaborative project. In addition
to the high structural properties of the individual bars, the investigations also Project partners
focused for the first time on the design of an optimized rebar profiling for a • Institute of Concrete Structures (IMB)
