The textbook "Basics of Concrete Construction" offers a comprehensive introduction to the static fundamental principles of concrete construction, particularly regarding (reinforced) concrete structures. It highlights the properties of concrete as a building material that efficiently transmits compressive forces but has limitations concerning tensile forces. This book is an essential tool for aspiring architects, as it provides the necessary foundational knowledge required for the planning and implementation of concrete structures. The clear structure and precise explanations enable readers to understand and apply the complex relationships in concrete construction. The "Basics" series is designed to convey fundamental knowledge in compact volumes and covers all essential topics relevant to architectural studies.
