• Subject Area: Mathematics
• Term: since 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 417002380

Innovative design strategies for material minimized carbon-reinforced concrete structures require the exploration of novel geometries. This project is centered on the systematic generation of inspiring geometric structures accompanied by a rigorous mathematical analysis. The objective is to develop algebraic methods for deriving exact parametrizations of geometries, mathematical descriptions of designs for their assemblies, methods to analyze their dynamical properties, and methods to evaluate their suitability for applications. It will employ exact symbolic and group-theoretical methods which have rarely been utilized in civil engineering and offer significant potential for material minimized constructions.
