Recent years have seen enormous advances in the technology of
concrete as a material, through which its strength, compactness and
ductility can reach levels never dreamed of before. Thanks to these
improved material properties, the strength and durability of
concrete structures is greatly improved, their weight and
dimensions reduced, the scope of concrete as a structural material
is widened and - despite the higher material costs - overall
economy is possible, with positive impacts on sustainability as
well. Similar advances are underway in reinforcing materials,
notably high strength steel and fibre-reinforced polymers, and in
the way they are combined with concrete into high performance
structures. Developments in materials and equipment, as well as new
concepts, have lead to innovative construction techniques, reducing
cost and construction time and making possible the application of
concrete under extreme conditions of construction or environment.
All these advances will be highlighted in the book by the top
experts in the field of concrete structures, namely those currently
active in the field's leading and truly international scientific
and technical association: the International Federation of
Structural Concrete (fib) www.fib-international.org. Audience:
Practicing engineers and firms, academics, researchers and graduate
students, will all find the book timely, informative and very
interesting.
