Multifunctionality features of alternative structural slab components made of wood-based light-weight concrete and technical flax-fiber textiles

The project targets at evaluating relevant multifunctionality properties and ecological impacts of new slab elements to be developed. It aims at identifying thermal properties of newly developed wood-based "bio-concretes", and at evaluating impacts of different conceptual designs for hybrid slabs on overall energy consumption of a case study building and eco-balance. The projects also envisages fabrication of a demonstrator, in view of a potential commercialization of the construction system.
