Abstract
Abstract Existing concrete or reinforced concrete structures feature, as a rule, a relatively low resistance to various types of dynamic loading, such as earthquake, impact or blast. This makes it extremely important to develop and propose effective and feasible solutions for strengthening the structures prone to such loading. The contribution will provide an overview of the Research Training Group GRK 2250 “Mineral-bonded composites for enhanced structural impact safety” established in 2017 by the German Research Society (DFG) at the TU Dresden. The goal of GRK 2250 is to bring substantial improvements in the impact resistance of existing buildings by applying thin layers of strengthening material. By using innovative, mineral-bonded composites, public safety and the reliability of vitally important infrastructure should be significantly enhanced. The scientific basis to be developed will additionally enable to build new, impact resistant structures economically and ecologically.
