At the Institute of Concrete Structures, Technische Universität Dresden, a new precast ceiling system comprised of an arch and a beam at each longitudinal edge was investigated. The innovative composite material carbon reinforced concrete allows thereby a fresh way of thinking for civil engineering with lightweight constructions but still high bearing capacity. This variation of a beam has only straight rebars as main reinforcement. Four prototypes with a length of 4.50 m were produced and tested at Otto–Mohr‐Laboratory of TU Dresden. Except of the supports, the structure has a thickness between 40 and 45 mm, so a reduction of the dead load up to 70.0% compared to a usual rectangular cross section made of common steel reinforcement and the same concrete could be achieved. The experimental ultimate loads of the first three tested elements were thereby higher than the calculated ultimate load of the common reinforced concrete structure.

Bestehende Stahlbetonkonstruktionen können mit einer Vielzahl an Systemen instand gesetzt bzw. verstärkt werden, wobei zu den gebräuchlichsten Methoden eine Verstärkung mit Spritzbeton oder mit Lamellen aus faserverstärkten Kunstoffen (FVK) gehört. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich mit Textilbeton eine weitere Möglichkeit entwickelt, bei der es sich um eine dünne, leistungsfähige Verstärkungsschicht aus einem Feinbeton handelt, welche mit einem textilen Gelege bewehrt ist. Die Dicke einer solchen Schicht beträgt üblicherweise zwischen 10 und 20 mm, kann letztlich jedoch je nach geforderten Randbedingungen davon abweichen. Als Material für diese Gelege kommen verschiedene technische Endlosfasern z. B. aus alkaliresistentem Glas (AR-Glas), Carbon oder Basalt infrage. Carbonbeton (CRC-carbon reinforced concrete) enthält Carbonbewehrung in Form von Gelegen oder Stäben. Allgemeine Informationen zum Baustoff Carbonbeton und dessen Anwendungsfeldern können bspw. [1-4] entnommen werden.

In this paper the design and recalculation of new type ceiling elements made of carbon reinforced concrete (CRC) is described. With the use of the high-potential composite material carbon reinforced concrete, structures can be, compared to conventional steel reinforced concrete (RC), designed and manufactured slimmer and lighter. Because of this and the increased sustainability of ceiling elements made of CRC a noteworthy amount of concrete can be saved. To show the potential of CRC elements, four different structures for various fields of application are shown. The first ceiling element, which will be introduced, fits perfectly for the use in multi-storey car parks because of the high resistance of the carbon fibers against corrosion. Another CRC structure in this paper was created in a research project as a demonstrator to show the potential of the newly developed concrete mixture for CRC. To prove the ability of this new developed concrete, large-scale CRC Ibeams were produced in a precast concrete factory. The third ceiling element was designed and manufactured in form of a shell to combine the high strength composite material with an improved design for ceiling elements. The last introduced CRC element was developed as demonstrator in another research project and was designed in form of a ribbed slab.
