This is our blog about the digital and innovative for civil engineers and structural engineers. We believe that this industry will change and that these changes will be used in the future. We will write down our thoughts and beliefs in this way.
During South Korea’s building boom of the 1990s, a huge department store is built in Seoul. However, after six years of operation, a disaster with serious consequences takes place. 500 people die. Almost a thousand are injured. How can such a serious disaster occur? Who is to blame? How could it have been prevented?
Past events have shown us how severe the consequences of floods can be. People die, livelihoods are lost, vast areas are destroyed - but how did we get this far? Have floods always determined our lives? How can we continue to minimize the consequences?
3D printing is frequently used in many industrial areas. This method is also being researched in some pilot projects in the construction industry. But does this technology really have a future in the construction industry? Can it help achieve goals more affordably and quickly?
In the first half of the 20th century, a disaster happened in the United States that every civil engineer is familiar with. The collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge was fascinating in a very special way. What did we learn about structural design from it? Was there anything good about this collapse?
The Munich Steel Construction Days took place from May 5 to May 6 at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. Dlubal Software was represented by Daniel Dlubal and Andreas Niemeier at an information booth.
Students are the future. Students are the next structural engineers, which will design our buildings of tomorrow. Therefore, we have to support them as much as possible. This should be the main goal for all companies.
TAE – Technische Akademie Esslingen e.V. is an institution for professional training and further education located in Ostfildern - close to the state capital Stuttgart. With business areas ranging from mechanical engineering to IT and management topics, they offer around 1,000 events a year with more than 4,000 top-class speakers from research and corporate practice.
The construction industry is the ultimate climate killer. The cement industry alone causes four times more CO2 than the air traffic. We need to act to create a positive footprint. What measures do we already have? Is there still hope of climate change?
For the second time, digitalBau took place at the exhibition grounds in Cologne, Germany. With this platform for software companies and industry, a future-oriented format has been created for the construction industry. Dlubal Software represented its program with a booth on site.
On Wednesday, June 15, 2022, MP Martina Englhardt‑Kopf visited the headquarters of Dlubal Software in Tiefenbach, Germany. She is a member of the CSU member of the Bundestag for the federal district of Cham, the district of Schwandorf.
Dlubal Software wants to support their customers with webinars, but also training sessions. Therefore, Daniel Dlubal went to the Deggendorf Institute of Technology, Germany, to explain our new software generation RFEM 6.
In the Dlubal Podcast, we interviewed brothers and civil engineers Philip and Michael Kalkbrenner. In their podcast called "Baustelle Bauwesen", they discuss a wide variety of topics. They told us how they started and where their path has led them so far.
After a year of Dlubal Podcast, we would like to give you an overview of what has happened so far. Read here which exciting episodes and interesting guests have already enriched our project.
In the case of this disaster, civil engineers were not guilty. Nevertheless, we will look the behind horizon and talk about this tragedy, which took the lives of too many people.
