The book 'Modern Concrete Construction Manual. Structural Design, Material Properties, Sustainability' forms a standard reference work for the design and realisation of reinforced concrete architecture in the 21st century.
Concrete's multifaceted nature has made it very popular today with planners and builders. Besides the enormous potential inherent in its load-bearing capacity, the material offers a diversity of properties and surface characteristics. The book 'Modern Concrete Construction Manual. Structural Design, Material Properties, Sustainability' focuses not just on the design and construction of concrete load-bearing structures, but also especially on concrete’s material characteristics and thus on the haptic and sensual side of this material.
The 'Modern Concrete Construction Manual' provides planners with expert information on concrete as a construction material, ranging from manufacturing to material characteristics, to the design of concrete load-bearing structures, including details on current digital design and production process options.
