Dr. Torsten Richter is a graduate of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Berlin. In 2000, he received the award of the Association of Consulting Engineers (VBI) for the best diploma thesis on reinforced concrete structures. Since 2002, he has been an academic teacher and researcher at the Institute of Building Physics at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy of the Leibniz University in Hanover, where in 2009 he obtained a doctoral degree with honors. Since 2009, he has held the position of Chief Engineer at the institute. He has over 20 years of experience in conducting construction works and construction works expertise. At the request of the Chamber of Engineers of Lower Saxony, he made over 250 expert opinions in the field of protection against moisture and energy efficiency of buildings. Since 2018, he has been the managing partner at 3B Bauconsult GmbH & Co. KG.

“Wind load resistance of ETICS”

The loads on external thermal insulation systems (ETICS) resulting from wind suction and gust loads are represented in current practice by almost static foam block tests. At the Leibniz University of Hanover, Institute for Building Physics, as a part of a dissertation, we investigated the most realistic possible load application due to wind gust loads. For this purpose, an experimental test for measuring wind suction was newly developed. Using a systematic investigation approach, we examine the load transfer behavior of bonded or/and dowelled ETICS. The lecture will present the test stand, procedure, results, and conclusions.
