Chapters cover the history of the material, the properties of plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete, surface finishes, the basic engineering principles of large and small structures and the building requirements with respect to thermal and sound insulation, fire protection and moisture control, reflecting the most recent standards and statutory instruments. Finally, a large number of built examples are presented - from photographs of the completed structures down to detailed plans - to illustrate the broad spectrum of applications for concrete in contemporary building. This volume demonstrates the potential of concrete and documents comprehensively the engineering principles of using concrete in construction.

Concrete takes a fresh look at the world's most versatile and abundant building material. Collating fascinating and beautiful concrete buildings by some of the most celebrated architects of the last century, it features familiar projects from Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright alongside work from some of the leading lights of contemporary architecture including Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, and many lesser-known newcomers. Arranged to promote comparison and discussion, the selected projects take the reader on a global tour of inspiring and intriguing structures: a German skatepark sits beside an Italian rooftop test track, a Japanese crematorium alongside a Portuguese swimming pool and a Brazilian government building next to a Chinese opera house. Illustrated with extraordinary photographs, each project includes an extended caption providing a commentary on the building. An essay by Leonard Koren, author of the best-selling Wabi-Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets & Philosophers, offers an evocative and perceptive view of concrete through the author's experience of studying architecture in California and living in Tokyo. Concrete is a beautiful and informative visual exploration of a material often considered dull and cold but actually full of spectacular potential.

Zoals steeds houdt de auteur rekening met de meest courante wijzigingen en bevat ook enkele didactische vernieuwingen:

- de evolutie van de cementen en hun nieuwe benamingen volgens EN197-1 
- het voorkomen van de alkali-silica reactie tussen cementen en bepaalde toeslagmaterialen 
- de geprogrammeerde samenstelling van betonmengsels, mogelijk geworden sinds de bestekken meestal alleen de nog te bereiken sterkte opleggen 
- de nieuwe hulpstoffen waardoor grote vooruitgang werd geboekt in de domeinen van hoge sterkte beton (HSB), zelfverdichtend beton (ZVB), onderwaterbeton en beton met hoge weerstand tegen vorst en dooizouten 
- het steeds groter worden belang van duurzaamheid 
- de technieken van de restauratie 
- de groeiende invloed van de prefabindustrie
