The high-resolution digital surface model (DSM1, DOM1) of the watercourses Elbe and Lower Havel is based on the airborne laser scanning data, undertaken from 06 January 2022 to 18 March 2022 in the Elbe area and from 20 to 22 December 2021 in the Havel area. It was produced and published by Germany’s Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG), on behalf of the River Basin Community Elbe (RBC Elbe, FGG Elbe). The work was supported by the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) and the surveying offices and water management administrations of six German states - Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein. The data cover both the area around the inland water stretches of the Elbe from the Czech-German border to the village of Zollenspieker (part of the city of Hamburg) and the Lower Havel waterway from the town of Rathenow to its confluence with the Elbe. Since the dataset has a large coverage of 4,043 km², it is split into 62 sections. They were either labelled *HW in case of flood relevant areas (in German: “hochwasser-relevante Gebiete”) or *AU in case of historical floodplains (in German: “Altauengebiete”). Financing was divided according to these categories: In the HW areas, the project was co-funded by BfG, the WSV and the federal states, while in the AU areas, BfG covered all project costs. For each section we provide hillshade (*HS) and height maps (*NHN). The data are available in a raster resolution of 1 meter in GeoTiff format; Coordinate reference frame: ETRS89.DREF91.R16; Coordinate projection: UTM Zone 33N; EPSG-Code: 25833; Height reference system: DHHN2016, national vertical reference frame in Germany (2022).

Grain size composition of loess samples from LGM European loess sequences. Loess samples of about 200 g were prepared to extract the grain size fractions studied. Grain size separations were performed on at least 10 g of dry sample. First, the entire sample was sieved with demineralized water on 63 microns and 20 microns sieves. The rejects were collected, dried and weighed. The clay fraction was obtained by decanting the fraction below 20 microns. The rest of the sample was mixed and left to settle for 1 hour. This procedure is repeated until a transparent supernatant is obtained. The two fractions thus obtained are dried and weighed. The size of the different fractions was then checked by laser granulometry.
The GBL (INSPIRE) represents mechanically drilled boreholes approved by the State Geological Surveys of Germany (SGS). Most of the drilling data were not collected by the SGS, but were transmitted to SGS by third parties in accordance with legal requirements. Therefore, the SGS can accept no responsibility for the accuracy of the information. According to the Data Specification on Geology (D2.8.II.4_v3.0) the boreholes of each federal state are stored in one INSPIRE-compliant GML file. The GML file together with a Readme.txt file is provided in ZIP format (e.g. GBL-INSPIRE_Lower_Saxony.zip). The Readme.txt file (German/English) contains detailed information on the GML file content. Data transformation was proceeded by using the INSPIRE Solution Pack for FME according to the INSPIRE requirements.

Das Aufschüsseln bzw. Aufwölben ein- und zweischichtiger Betonfahrbahndecken soll im Labor überwiegend an 3,0 m langen einseitig eingespannten Betonbalken (freie Kraglänge 2,5 m) untersucht werden. Die Laboruntersuchungen sollen durch Verformungsmessungen mit einem Lasermessgerät in-situ an ein- und zweischichtigen Betonfahrbahndecken überprüft werden. Insbesondere sollen auch jahres- und tageszeitlich sowie witterungsbedingte Schwankungen (Feuchte bzw. Temperatureinfluss) der Verformungen mit erfasst werden. Mit Originalausgangsstoffen der jeweiligen Versuchsstrecken werden Laborprobekörper hergestellt. Der Einfluss des Feuchtezustands von RC-Betonzuschlag beim Einbau (kernfeucht bzw. trocken) auf das Aufschüsseln (Aufwölben) wird an ein- und zweischichtigen Betonbalken untersucht. Die Betonbalken werden an der Unterseite befeuchtet (schlechte Entwässerung) bzw. abgedichtet (gute Entwässerung). An der Oberseite können sie bei unterschiedlichen Luftfeuchten austrocknen und werden zyklisch wiederbefeuchtet, um den Einfluss von Niederschlägen zu erfassen.
