Ebook: Atlas Moderner Betonbau: Konstruktion, Material, Nachhaltigkeit
Author: Martin Peck (editor)
Betonarchitektur im 21. Jahrhundert
A classic building material with a new sensibility, concrete has an excellent reputation today and is valued by planners and builders for its multi-faceted properties. Besides its extensive structural capacities, the diverse features and potential surface finishes of concrete offer enormous potential. Yet this publication does not limit its attention to the design and building of concrete supporting structures, but focuses especially on the material qualities of concrete, and thus, on the haptic and sensual aspects of the material.
The Atlas of Modern Concrete Construction offers the planner basic professional information about concrete as a building material, including its manufacture, its material properties, and the design of concrete supporting structures, including current options for digital design and assembly processes. As the standard reference work in its field, this publication provides extensive professional information about affordability, energy efficiency, sustainability and renovation, from refurbishing to design and interior decoration. An extensive catalogue of works with successful examples from architectural practice provides inspiration and incentives for putting this classical building material into modern use.
- Conception and design of reinforced concrete supporting structures
- Comprehensive guide to manufacturing, properties, and surfaces
