Abstract

In 1994 fib Commission 6: Prefabrication edited a successful Planning and Design Handbook that ran to approximately 45,000 copies and was published in Spanish and German.Nearly 20 years later Bulletin 74 brings that first publication up to date. It offers a synthesis of the latest structural design knowledge about precast building structures against the background of 21st century technological innovations in materials, production and construction. With it, we hope to help architects and engineers achieve a full understanding of precast concrete building structures, the possibilities they offer and their specific design philosophy. It was principally written for non-seismic structures.The handbook contains eleven chapters, each dealing with a specific aspect of precast building structures. The first chapter of the handbook highlights best practice opportunities that will enable architects, design engineers and contractors to work together towards finding efficient solutions, which is something unique to precast concrete buildings. The second chapter offers basic design recommendations that take into account the possibilities, restrictions and advantages of precast concrete, along with its detailing, manufacture, transport, erection and serviceability stages. Chapter three describes the precast solutions for the most common types of buildings such as offices, sports stadiums, residential buildings, hotels, industrial warehouses and car parks. Different application possibilities are explored to teach us which types of precast units are commonly used in all those situations. Chapter four covers the basic design principles and systems related to stability. Precast concrete structures should be designed according to a specific stability concept, unlike cast in-situ structures. Chapter five discusses structural connections. Chapters six to nine address the four most commonly used systems or subsystems of precast concrete in buildings, namely, portal and skeletal structures, wall-frame structures, floor and roof structures and architectural concrete facades. In chapter ten the design and detailing of a number of specific construction details in precast elements are discussed, for example, supports, corbels, openings and cutouts in the units, special features related to the detailing of the reinforcement, and so forth. Chapter eleven gives guidelines for the fire design of precast concrete structures. The handbook concludes with a list of references to good literature on precast concrete construction. [Publisher]

Abstract

The invention of cement revolutionized construction and civil engineering. It is not - as one might think - from the brain of a diploma engineer, but the experience of a gardener. As it was the fashion, there was rock throwing of cement on a fence. He observed that this material was both waterproof and rot proof and used it in place of wooden flower boxes. Noticing that this material had a high resistance, it was used for bins, first small then large, then tanks, soon beams, bridges ... The book traces the history of this slow development which was carried out over a dozen years, as well as trial and error and achievements of other researchers, in France, the United States, Great Britain and Germany.

Abstract

Infra-lightweight concrete combines the structural and thermal insulation functions of the building envelope in one monolithic material, thus providing new design options. The handbook is a practical guide to building with this new type of material. The architects and structural engineers of the interdisciplinary team of authors combine their findings from many years of research, including from a project in which the team investigated the architectural and structural potential of infra-lightweight concrete in multi-story residential buildings. In addition to essential information on designing with the material, including construction details, and an overview of the building physics properties, practical advice on building details is provided in the form of sizing tables and numerous details from various projects. Infraleichtbeton ist ein Beton mit sehr geringer Rohdichte, der sowohl die tragende als auch die wärmedämmende Funktion der Gebäudehülle in einem monolithischen Material vereint. Sichtbetonbauten aus Infraleichtbeton können im Hinblick auf die Nachhaltigkeitsdiskussion, den Klimawandel und die Energiewende alternative Lösungsansätze bieten und darüber hinaus mit ihrem gestalterischen Anspruch einen Beitrag zur Baukultur leisten. Das Buch soll als Planungshilfe und Leitfaden für die Anwendung von Infraleichtbeton in der Praxis dienen. Es basiert auf Erkenntnissen aus langjähriger Forschung sowie einem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt, in dem Architekten und Bauingenieure gemeinsam die architektonischen und konstruktiven Potenziale von Infraleichtbeton im Geschosswohnungsbau ausgelotet haben. Die Autoren stellen Ansätze für den materialgerechten Entwurf, die konstruktive Durchbildung und die Bemessung vor. Außerdem bieten sie einen Überblick über die bauphysikalischen Eigenschaften des Materials und geben Hinweise zur Bauausführung. Mit zahlreichen Leitdetails, Projekt- und Bemessungsbeispielen stellt dieses Handbuch erstmals eine praktische Anleitung für Planer, Bauherren und Baufirmen zur Verfügung, die mit diesem neuartigen Hochleistungsleichtbeton planen und bauen möchten.
