German Steel Construction Award for Linus Schmitz
and the winner is… Linus Paul Schmitz, winner of the German Steel Construction Award 2024 for his term paper on the topic: SERIAL becomes INDIVIDUAL, local reinforcement of standard I-profiles using WAAM technology. Steel beams can be exposed to individual load situations, creating a need for additional reinforcement. His solution: Using WAAM, i.e. the free additive application of material at the points where the load case is increased, can be individually reinforced without having to use a generally reinforced steel …
