Manfred Curbach

In 1980 he was admitted to the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes (German Academic Scholarship Foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany).

[2] In December 2014 the company CarboCon GmbH was founded which specialises in design, construction, calculation and building with carbon reinforced concrete.

As part of this research programme, the new composite material, made of high-strength fine concrete and high-performance fibres (made of different materials such as alkali-resistant glass, later mainly carbon fibres), was developed and researched, as well as transferred into practice by pilot projects in cooperation with construction companies.

[7] With the organisation of the annual Dresdner Brückenbausymposium Curbach succeeded in establishing a national and international centre and meeting place for bridge construction engineers.

Curbach has been a member of the scientific advisory board of the Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau (BAW) (Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute) since 2011 and has been its chairman since 2015.

[1] On 15 November 2011, Curbach received an honorary doctorate from the Universität Kaiserslautern for his outstanding scientific achievements in structural engineering, his services in the consistent implementation of research results into practice and his exemplary personality.

[13] In September 2014, the VDI-Gesellschaft – Bauen und Gebäudetechnik (VDI-Association – Division Civil Engineering and Building) awarded Manfred Curbach at its annual convention the Wolfgang-Zerna-Medal of Honour for "outstanding achievements in the field of construction technology".

[14] In February 2016 Curbach was awarded the George Sarton Medal of the History of Science Society, University of Ghent.

On 4 October 2021, Technische Universität Dresden honoured members who have rendered outstanding services and special individual achievements for the good of the university.

Curbach received a Golden Badge of Honour for, among other things, his pioneering work in the field of textile and carbon concrete and for a successful term of office in the TUD's Prorectorate of University Development.
