The construction sector is responsible for high grey energy consumption and high greenhouse gas emissions. Adaptive structures can be a suitable solution to counteract this. Actuation of a beam to reduce the mass by counteracting the deflection with integrated fluidic actuators has been proven in previous studies. New challenges are brought about with the actuation of slabs due to the multi-axial load transfer. Many actuator principles are conceivable for this application. A combination of uniaxially acting actuators and complex designs that generate forces in different spatial directions in a targeted manner are possible. This paper presents various principles for the development of actuators integrated into the cross-section of a slab. These are able to manipulate the multi-axial load transfer behaviour directly. For this purpose, the actuator principles are classified according to various aspects. In a second step, numerical investigations are used to prove the effectiveness of the actuator principles.
