Die statischen Grundprinzipien des Krafteaufnehmens von Bauteilen haben den modernen Baustoff (Stahl-)Beton entwickelt: Wie Mauerwerk kann Beton gut Druck nach unten ableiten, wobei sein Schwachpunkt die Zugkrafte sind. Der Baustoff erlaubt zudem einen freieren Umgang mit architektonischen Formen. Basics Betonbau vermittelt das fur die Planung von (Stahl-)Betonkonstruktionen notwendige Basiswissen, das jeder Architekt beherrschen muss.

Buildings with wide spans, such as industrial plants and warehouses, are usually built with steel. The architect must understand the specific material properties and requirements of steel as a construction material, including its static properties, which influence dimensioning and profile selection. Step by step, Basics Steel Construction imparts the basic understanding needed for planning with steel as a building material.

Gebaude mit grossen Spannweiten wie Industrie- oder Logistikbauten werden meist als Stahlbauten erstellt. Der Architekt muss fur diese Bauaufgabe die spezifischen Materialeigenschaften und Erfordernisse des Baustoffs Stahl kennen, beispielsweise statische Eigenschaften, welche die Dimensionierung und Profilauswahl beeinflussen. Basics Stahlbau baut Schritt fur Schritt das Grundlagenwissen auf, das zur Planung mit dem Baustoff Stahl befahigt.

Jede Konstruktion unterliegt speziellen Eigenarten, die in ihrer Bauweise nicht mit anderen Baustoffen zu vergleichen ist. Die ersten baukonstruktiven Entwurfe im Architekturstudium werden als Mauerwerks- oder Holzbauten geplant. Anhand dieser beiden traditionellen und elementaren Baustoffe erlernt der Studierende die baukonstruktiven bzw. statischen Prinzipien, die auch die Grundlage fur die Konstruktion mit den "modernen" Baustoffen Stahl, Beton und Glas bilden.
Klar gegliedert und konzentriert, erlautert Basics Baukonstruktion die Eigenschaften dieser wichtigsten...

Architectural ceramics have long been confined to decorative surfaces. Today innovations in material technology, production methods and assembly systems allow applications that combine the materials emotional attractiveness with new functionalities. Ceramic materials take the form of building systems that are used for facades, roofs and interior walls.

The urgent need for infrastructure rehabilitation and maintenance has led to a rise in the levels of research into bituminous materials. Breakthroughs in sustainable and environmentally friendly bituminous materials are certain to have a significant impact on national economies and energy sustainability. This book will provide a comprehensive review on recent advances in research and technological developments in bituminous materials.

Opening with an introductory chapter on asphalt materials and a section on the perspective of bituminous binder specifications, Part One covers the...

Not unjustly referred to as legendary, this series of books on the history and theory of architecture and urban development was founded in 1963 by Ulrich Conrads, who was joined by Peter Neitzke as a co-editor of the series in the early 1980s. Now numbering over 150 titles, it is the most comprehensive German-language book series covering these fields. Following the deaths of the two longtime editors Ulrich Conrads (2013) and Peter Neitzke (2015), a...

The development of NDT (non-destructive testing) techniques used for the inspection of concrete structures is currently in high demand, because many existing structures have become aged and deteriorated in service. In order to formulate predictions on their stability and to estimate their safety, it is necessary to identify damage signals and to determine their causes. In this regard, the development and establishment of innovative and highly advanced non-destructive methods are required. Acoustic Emission (AE) and related NDE (non-destructive evaluation) techniques have been extensively...
