Basics Betonbau

At the beginning of one's architecture studies, there are many unknowns: what is really important? how do I brainstorm a design idea? how can this idea be depicted and ultimately implemented? BASICS is a series that imparts fundamental knowledge in compact individual volumes as well as in topical compendiums. It offers precise, step-by-step discussions, systematically covering the most important material pertaining to a given topic. Tailored to the needs of students, the series addresses all key subject areas, including design, architectural presentation, construction, professional practice, building services, landscape architecture, and urbanism.

Klappentext

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