Recent years have noticeable huge, immense advances within the expertise of concrete as a fabric, in which its energy, compactness and ductility can achieve degrees by no means dreamed of sooner than. because of those more desirable fabric houses, the energy and sturdiness of concrete constructions is vastly greater, their weight and dimensions lowered, the scope of concrete as a structural fabric is widened and – regardless of the better fabric charges – total economic system is feasible, with optimistic affects on sustainability to boot. comparable advances are underway in reinforcing fabrics, significantly excessive energy metal and fibre-reinforced polymers, and within the means they're mixed with concrete into excessive functionality buildings. advancements in fabrics and kit, in addition to new recommendations, have result in leading edge building innovations, lowering price and building time and making attainable the applying of concrete less than severe stipulations of building or surroundings. these types of advances could be highlighted within the e-book by way of the head specialists within the box of concrete buildings, particularly these at present energetic within the field’s prime and actually foreign medical and technical organization: the overseas Federation of Structural Concrete (fib) www.fib-international.org.
Audience: working towards engineers and corporations, lecturers, researchers and graduate scholars, will all locate the ebook well timed, informative and extremely interesting.

Nevertheless, it is possible today to recover old brilliant proposals updated according to present technological opportunities. This is a great challenge for today’s professionals, a sort of deconstruction that enables the production of old ideas with new possibilities. The authors of this paper consider the Pantheon in Rome as an extraordinary work of structural engineering and architecture; perhaps the most outstanding H. N. V. 2012 17 18 H. Corres-Peiretti et al. Fig. e. a spherical dome of variable depth, developed after a clever, brilliant geometrical arrangement, with an oculus not intuitively safe, a system of coffers that optimises the self-weight effect, an excellent construction procedure avoiding double formwork, etc.
