Abstract

The building sector is responsible for a high CO2 footprint each year. To reduce the required resources and increase the load-bearing capacity of structural elements, designing structural elements adaptive seems to be an appropriate solution. In particular, for structural integration in adaptive slabs, conventional actuators are not suitable due to the requirements in terms of installation space and performance. Therefore, different concepts on fluidic pressure chambers for adaptive slabs are developed, tested, and compared with numerical results. The outcome of this investigation is presented in this contribution and can be used for the further development of fluidic actuators for adaptive slabs.
