2024 | March | HiPerMat 6

The 6th International Symposium on UHPC and High-Performance Materials in Construction, HiPerMat6, took place at the University of Kassel from March 6 to 8, 2024.

Every four years since 2004, the symposium has provided a platform for scientists and users to discuss the latest developments in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and other material technology innovations in the construction industry. The symposium, which is now also internationally recognized, is organized as usual jointly by the two departments of Concrete Structures (Prof. Fehling) and Construction Materials and Construction Chemistry (Prof. Middendorf).

The proceedings of the previous conferences are available from Uni Press.


2020 | September | STONE2020

From September 7 to 12, 2020, STONE2020 will take place at the Georg-August-University of Göttingen in cooperation with the University of Kassel.

The international congress, which is already taking place for the 14th time, offers geoscientists, architects, civil engineers, conservators, restorers, monument conservators and building owners a platform for exchange on the problems of decay and conservation of natural stones.


2020 | March | HiPerMat 5

The
5th International Symposium on UHPC and High-Performance Materials in Construction, HiPerMat5, will take place at the University of Kassel from March 11 to 13, 2020.

Every four years since 2004, the symposium has provided a platform for scientists and users to discuss the latest developments in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and other material technology innovations in the construction industry. The symposium, which is now also internationally recognized, is organized as usual jointly by the two departments of Concrete Structures (Prof. Fehling) and Construction Materials and Construction Chemistry (Prof. Middendorf).

2018 | IFS Conference: - Preservation of Brick Masonry

On 26.06.2018 the joint conference of the University of Kassel and the IFS will take place on the topic "Preservation of brick masonry".

Within the framework of the conference, the issue of repair and restoration measures will be addressed with the presentation of research results and practical experience. Aspects of monument preservation and building history findings will be discussed, as will craft and restoration approaches to the cleaning and pointing of brick masonry. In addition, experiences on the consequences of hydrophobing, impregnation, building physics findings on interior insulation and, based on a prominent case study, on the statics of brick masonry are presented.


2016 | HiPerMat 4

In the period 9 - 11. 3. 2016, the 4th International Symposium on UHPC and High-Performance Materials in Civil Engineering, HiPerMat4, will take place at the University of Kassel.

Once again, the symposium aims to provide a platform for scientists and users to exchange information on the latest developments related to ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and other material technology innovations in civil engineering. As usual, the symposium, which is now also internationally recognized, will be organized jointly by the two departments of Solid Construction (Prof. Fehling) and Materials in Construction and Construction Chemistry (Prof. Middendorf).

The proceedings of the previous conferences are available from Uni Press.


2014 | 6-8- October GDCH Construction Chemistry in Kassel

The annual conference of the Construction Chemistry Division of the German Chemical Society (Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker) will be held in Kassel from October 6-8 this year by the Materials in Construction and Construction Chemistry Division.

The conference offers scientists from universities, research institutes and companies a platform for discussion and professional exchange.

In interdisciplinary cooperation, the wide-ranging application fields and issues from the field of construction chemistry will be highlighted and the innovation potential strengthened through different perspectives.


2014 | March 11 | VDB Regional Meeting

On March 11, the regional conference of the Association of German Concrete Engineers (VDB) will take place at the University of Kassel, Mönchebergstraße 7 (3rd floor, room 3216), starting at 2:00 pm. Prof. Middendrof and Dipl.-Ing. Fröhlich will talk about the development, properties and possible applications of high-performance concretes. Furthermore, Dipl.-Ing. Deuse (Dyckerhof AG) will give a lecture on binder compounds for practical production of UHPC. In addition to the lectures, a tour of the laboratory facilities of the Department of Construction Materials and Construction Chemistry is also planned.


2013 | Stone, Mortar and Concrete - The Conservation of the Tufa Structures in Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel

The Institut für Steinkonservierung e. V., Mainz, the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen, the Museumslandschaft Kassel and the Department of Materials in Construction and Construction Chemistry at the University of Kassel are organizing the conference on the tufa structures in the Bergpark Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe on April 19, 2013.
The Hercules structure and the other structures in the Bergpark have again been the subject of a large-scale restoration campaign by the state of Hesse since 2003. The conference will report on the various materials used to preserve the structures.
