BetonTage is Europe's largest trade congress for the precast concrete industry. Every year, more than 2,000 participants from 20 nations come to generate knowledge and network in an informal atmosphere. From June 21 to 23, 2022, the BetonTage took place for the first time at the Congress Centrum Ulm. "Sustainable construction with concrete" was the motto of this year's specialist program. Resource-saving techniques in cement and concrete production and the use of innovative concretes and concrete components played a key role in the presentations. There were also reports on the use of innovative construction and production processes as well as outstanding architectural and logistical solutions from the precast concrete and concrete products industry. The plenary presentations and selected panels were streamed live.
On the panel "Concrete in structural design", Professor Torsten Leutbecher reported on the influence of fiber orientation on the mechanical properties of ultra-high-strength steel fiber reinforced concrete.
