Biography 
Carl-Alexander Graubner studied civil engineering at the TU München from 1977 to 1981 with a specialization in structural engineering. He then worked from 1982 to 1988 as a research assistant at the Institute of Concrete Structures, TU Munich  and received his doctorate there in 1989. From 1989 to 1994 his activities were in the construction industry and he worked as division head of the Philipp Holzmann / Held & Francke Bau Inc. in Munich. During this time he was involved in planning a number of major construction projects of high building, industrial and bridge constructions. He designed, among other projects, a long integral prestressed concrete bridge over the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal in Berching Bavaria, which attracted worldwide. Furthermore, he and his planning team were also responsible for the structural design of the ethylene factory of company BASF in Antwerp. From 1994 to 1996 he ran his own engineering office in Munich and made e.g. the design and the cost estimation for the new board Transrapid route from Hamburg to Berlin. Since 2001 Graubner is a shareholder and member of the management of KHP König und Heunisch Planungsgesellschaft mbH in Frankfurt. Working as an approved checking engineer he accompanied over the past years a number of major projects such as the shopping center MyZeil, or the new construction of the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. In 2009 he founded with partners the Life Cycle Engineering Experts GmbH, which focuses on sustainable construction consultancy services.

In 1996 Graubner was appointed as a full professor at the Institute of Concrete Structures at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. He is currently managing director of the Institute of Concrete Structures and since 2007 a member of the University Assembly. He was in the leading group of development of German Certificate for Sustainable Building band consulted various federal and state ministries in questions of sustainability for many years. Graubner is chairman of the standardisation committee NA 005-06-01 "masonry" in DIN and member of several expert committees of the German Institute for Building Technology. In addition, he represents German interests in European standardisation committees in the field of masonry construction. Graubner is co-editor of the book series "masonry aktuell" and member of the Editorial Board of the journal "masonry".
