Synopses & Reviews
With its virtually in?nite plasticity and versatility, the simple and straightforward building component concrete has emerged as the building material of the present. Building with Concrete not only provides the basic information needed to work with the material, but also pays special attention to the architect's role in planning and construction management. The book describes current trends in concrete technology including translucent concrete, lightweight wood concrete, and textile concrete. Field reports by practicing architects are also included in this indispensable resource.
Synopsis
With its virtually infinite plasticity, its constructional versatility, and its simple and straightforward building technology, concrete is the building material of the present. In addition to careful design and constructional planning, the invitation of bids and the building contract are the keys to a successful implementation. Building with Concrete provides the basic information needed to work with the material, with special attention to the architect's role in planning and construction management. It describes current trends in concrete technology and the development of innovative new types of concrete, with firsthand reports by architects in the field. It also describes the new version of the DBV/BDZ data sheet Exposed Concrete.

Synopsis
Beton - gestalten und konstruieren mit dem Baustoff der Zukunft
Beton ist dank seiner nahezu beliebigen Formbarkeit, seiner konstruktiven Vielseitigkeit und einfachen Bautechnik der Baustoff der Gegenwart. Neben einer sorgf ltigen gestalterischen und konstruktiven Planung sind Ausschreibung und Bauvertrag die Basis einer gelungenen Baudurchf hrung.
Das Buch vermittelt das Grundverst ndnis zum Umgang mit dem Material mit besonderem Blick auf die Rolle des Architekten bei Planung und Bauleitung. Aktuelle Tendenzen in der Baustofftechnologie, die Entwicklung innovativer Betone werden dabei ebenso vorgestellt wie Erfahrungsberichte ausf hrender Architekten. Der Band erl utert dar ber hinaus die Neufassung DBV/BDZ - Merkblatt Sichtbeton.
