The construction laboratory at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences deals with the following research areas:
Building material technology investigations
- Formulation development for high-performance concretes
- Fresh and hardened concrete tests
- Fire protection tests
Contact: FH‐Prof. DI Dr. Martin Schneider
Analysis of the load-bearing behavior of components
- Fracture tests on components under static and cyclic loading
- Beam and plate-like components with a span of up to approx. 8.00 m
- Numerical simulation taking into account non-linear material models
Contact: FH‐Prof. DI Dr. Norbert Randl
Fastening technology and structural reinforcement
- Load-bearing behavior of dowel systems
- Bond behavior of reinforcing bars
- Subsequent reinforcement connection
- Subsequent reinforcement of concrete structures with concrete topping, CFRP strips, bonded anchors, etc.

Building physics investigations
Contact: Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Christoph Buxbaum
Timber Construction
- Structural timber construction and connection technology (in particular detachable connections in line with the circular economy)
- Dematerialisation and structural optimisation of components for resource efficiency
- Sustainability strategies in timber construction, with a particular focus on circular value creation and ecological assessment
