Summary:

Beton - gestalten und konstruieren mit dem Baustoff der Zukunft Beton ist dank seiner nahezu beliebigen Formbarkeit, seiner konstruktiven Vielseitigkeit und einfachen Bautechnik der Baustoff der Gegenwart. Neben einer sorgfältigen gestalterischen und konstruktiven Planung sind Ausschreibung und Bauvertrag die Basis einer gelungenen Baudurchführung.Das Buch vermittelt das Grundverständnis zum Umgang mit dem Material mit besonderem Blick auf die Rolle des Architekten bei Planung und Bauleitung. Aktuelle Tendenzen in der Baustofftechnologie, die Entwicklung innovativer Betone werden dabei ebenso vorgestellt wie Erfahrungsberichte ausführender Architekten. Der Band erläutert darüber hinaus die Neufassung DBV/BDZ - Merkblatt "Sichtbeton".

Concrete-design and build with the construction material of the future With its virtually infinite plasticity, its constructional versatility, and its simple and straightforward building technology, concrete is the building material of the present. In addition to careful design and constructional planning, the invitation of bids and the building contract are the keys to a successful implementation. Building with Concrete provides the basic information needed to work with the material, with special attention to the architect's role in planning and construction management. It describes current trends in concrete technology and the development of innovative new types of concrete, with firsthand reports by architects in the field. It also describes the new version of the DBV/BDZ data sheet "Exposed Concrete."
