Selected Research Work of the ILEK
The farewell lecture of our company founder Werner Sobek in May 2023 was the occasion for a veritable “Werner Sobek Special” in the renowned trade journal “Beton- und Stahlbetonbau“: six articles in issue 5/2023 were penned by our colleagues.
In the second part of the article “Lightweight construction with concrete”, the focus is on lightweight structural construction. Prof. Lucio Blandini, CEO of Werner Sobek AG and head of the ILEK (Institut für Leichtbau Entwerfen und Konstruieren – Institute for Lightweight Design and Construction), together with his staff from the University of Stuttgart, discusses the ILEK’s design and manufacturing approaches for the development of resource-efficient, sustainable concrete structures.
