Bewehrung aus Glasfaserverbundwerkstoffen wird seit über 20 Jahren bei besonderen Anforderungen an Bewehrungseigenschaften erfolgreich eingesetzt. Mit der erstmaligen Zulassung eines Glasfaserbewehrungsstabs in Deutschland 2008 wurde die Grundlage für die breitere Nutzung dieser Technologie geschaffen. Nachfolgend werden Unterschiede des Materialverhaltens von Glasfaserbewehrung gegenüber Stahl aufgezeigt und wichtige Grundlagen zur Bemessung vorgestellt. Praktische Hinweise zur Vergleichbarkeit von Glasfaserbewehrungen und zum Thema Zustimmung im Einzelfall sowie ein Ausblick auf die Regelungen zu Glasfaserbewehrung in der nächsten Generation des EC2 sollen den planenden Ingenieur bei der sicheren Anwendung unterstützen. Beispiele ausgeführter Projekte geben einen Überblick auf die verschiedenen Einsatzgebiete dieser Spezialbewehrungsart. Safe application of glass fibre rebar in civil engineering. Hints and examples for practice In cases where reinforcement with special requirements is needed, glass fibre reinforced polymer bars have successfully been used since more than 20 years. The first approval by the German building authorities (DIBt) has been issued in 2008 giving way for broad application of this technology. This article focuses on differences in the material behaviour of mild steel and glass fibre rebar and offers basic knowledge for the design of glass fibre rebar. Additional information on comparison of different materials as well as for single use permissions (ZiE) is given. This knowledge combined with a glance on the future regulations on glass fibre rebar in the next EC2 shall enable structural engineers to perform safe calculations and a proper application of glass fibre rebar. Examples of carried out projects give an overview of the broad field of applications.

This article reports on the works safeguard in 2016 to secure the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Takht‐e Soleyman in the province of West Azerbaijan in the northwest of Iran. The site includes a fire temple and dates back to the sixth century AD. The complex was transformed by the Ilkhanids in the 13th century with extensive repair and building measures. From the 15th century, the complex was abandoned and decayed. In the 1970s, the north wall of the Western Eivan was first secured with steel scaffolding. The Chair of Structural design at the TU Dresden undertook works in 2016 to stabilise the Western Eivan in collaboration with the Iranian cultural heritage organisation (ICHHTO) and with financial support from the cultural maintenance programme of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany. The preliminary investigations until now and the work to the structure planned for 2018 are described below.
