Basics Betonbau

The basic rules of concrete construction

Concrete is the “modern” construction material that has helped shape the fundamental static principles of structural load bearing. Similar to masonry, concrete effectively transmits pressure downward, but its weak point is tractive forces. Concrete has also enabled freer use of architectonic forms. This title imparts the basic knowledge every architect needs to master for planning reinforced and non-reinforced concrete construction.

• Whereas all textbooks assume some basic knowledge, the BASICS series starts at zero.
• Student-friendly price
• Consistent didactic concept
