Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive account of how the modern expertise in building with concrete arose in Germany, during the first three quarters of the 19th century. Based on careful analyses of ancient documents and literature, it reconstructs an engaging history of master builders, engineers, architects, theoreticians, chemists and inventors, which developed against the backdrop of the general modernisation process of Germany. The account follows three parallel paths: firstly, the evolution of the cement-based conglomerates, from the early uses of pebbles and mortar mixtures in foundations to the arduous concrete hydraulic foundations; secondly, the evolution of the theory and practice of cement production; and finally takes into account experiments and attempts at producing moulded artificial stones and other objects, made of cement-based compounds. The book represents an original literary contribution as this is the first time the early history of concrete in Germany has been investigated to such a an extent, also taking into account influences coming from neighbouring countries.

Abstract

Vielschichtig, facettenreich und formbar wie kaum ein anderer Baustoff besitzt Beton enormes Zukunftspotenzial. Je nach Zusammensetzung reichen seine Einsatzgebiete vom schlichten Möbel über beeindruckende Innenausbauten bis hin zu faszinierenden Fassadenkonstruktionen oder weit gespannten Tragstrukturen. Geliebt oder gehasst, Beton ist Teil der Baukultur und - ob filigran, skulptural oder massiv - durch seine enormen Konstruktions- und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten nicht wegzudenken aus der gebauten Umwelt. Best of DETAIL: Beton bündelt die Highlights aus der Zeitschrift Detail der letzten Jahre zu diesem ausdrucksstarken Baustoff. Neben interessanten Fachbeiträgen liefert die Publikation in einem umfangreichen Projektbeispielteil vom Bahnhof bis zum Einfamilienhaus und zur Kirche jede Menge Inspirationen für die eigene Praxis.

Abstract

This book analyses the current knowledge on structural behaviour of RC elements and structures strengthened with composite materials (experimental, analytical and numerical approaches for EBR and NSM), particularly in relation to the above topics, and the comparison of the predictions of the current available codes/recommendations/guidelines with selected experimental results. The book shows possible critical issues (discrepancies, lacunae, relevant parameters, test procedures, etc.) related to current code predictions or to evaluate their reliability, in order to develop more uniform methods and basic rules for design and control of FRP strengthened RC structures. General problems/critical issues are clarified on the basis of the actual experiences, detect discrepancies in existing codes, lacunae in knowledge and, concerning these identified subjects, provide proposals for improvements. The book will help to contribute to promote and consolidate a more qualified and conscious approach towards rehabilitation and strengthening existing RC structures with composites and their possible monitoring.

Abstract

Au cours de sa longue carrière, Pier Luigi Nervi a exploré le potentiel du béton par la mise en place et la préfabrication d'éléments en béton armé ou en ferrociment, matériau qu'il a inventé et breveté pendant la guerre. Toutes ses œuvres les plus connues, telles que le Stade de Florence, les hangars construits à Orivieto, Orbetello et Torre del Lago Puccini, les Halls du Palazzo di Torino Esposizioni à Turin, les bâtiments de l'Unesco à Paris, le Palazzetto dello Sport à Rome et L'Aula per le Udienze au Vatican constituent un chapitre important dans l'histoire de l'architecture, de la structure et de la construction du XXe siècle. La passion de Nervi pour le processus de fabrication du béton et du coffrage est examinée de façon systématique dans le volume. Les auteurs illustrent le processus créatif de Nervi à travers l'examen de dessins non publiés, de dessins, de spécifications, de photos de chantiers et de correspondance avec des collègues et des collaborateurs.
