About
Josef Hegger is a leading figure in structural engineering, renowned for his pioneering work in automated concrete fabrication and innovative reinforcement systems. His research focuses on the intersection of digital fabrication, sustainable construction, and advanced materials, particularly carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) reinforcement. Hegger’s major contributions include the development of the AMoRC method—a groundbreaking 3D-printing process for reinforced concrete that enables the creation of complex, material-efficient structures without traditional formwork. His 2025 study on ribbed CFRP-reinforced concrete ceilings demonstrates how automated fabrication can conserve significant amounts of concrete, achieving 12 citations and highlighting a practical path toward reducing the construction industry’s carbon footprint. With a career spanning decades, Hegger has profoundly influenced modern concrete technology, earning over 5,000 total citations for his work on shear strength, punching shear, and textile-reinforced concrete. His achievements include leading major collaborative research projects and receiving international awards for innovation in structural engineering. Hegger’s research not only advances academic knowledge but also provides scalable solutions for sustainable building practices.
