Institute of Construction Materials, Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), Germany
The Institute of Construction Materials at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, is a leading research and teaching center specializing in building materials science. It focuses on the development, manufacturing, testing, and recycling of concrete and innovative mineral-based composites. The institute collaborates with industry and academia to enhance sustainability, durability, and efficiency in construction. Equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, it supports advanced research in material behavior, recycling, and digital construction technologies. As part of TU Dresden’s Faculty of Civil Engineering, the institute plays a key role in shaping the future of construction through interdisciplinary education and pioneering research.
About the partnership
The Institute of Construction Materials at TU Dresden plays a key role in the THESEUS project, focusing on the characterization, recycling, and reuse of mineral wastes from the Attica region. By analyzing the properties of these waste materials, the institute aims to develop sustainable, mineral-based composites for innovative building materials and components. Through advanced research and testing, it ensures the durability, efficiency, and environmental compatibility of these new materials. By integrating recycled resources into construction, the institute contributes to circular economy principles, reducing waste and promoting sustainable building solutions within the framework of THESEUS.
