Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst & Sohn "Beton-Kalender"
has been supporting developments in reinforced and prestressed
concrete. The aim was to publish a yearbook to reflect progress in
"ferro-concrete" structures until - as the book's first editor,
Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942), expressed it - the "tempestuous
development" in this form of construction came to an end. However,
the "Beton-Kalender" quickly became the chosen work of reference
for civil and structural engineers, and apart from the years
1945-1950 has been published annually ever since.

Ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) is a milestone in concrete
technology and application. It permits the construction of both
more slender and more durable concrete structures with a prolonged
service life and thus improved sustainability.

This book is a comprehensive overview of UHPC ? from the principles
behind its production and its mechanical properties to design and
detailing aspects. The focus is on the material behaviour of steel
fibre-reinforced UHPC. Numerical modelling and detailing of the
connections with reinforced concrete elements are featured as well.
Numerous examples worldwide ? bridges, columns, fa?ades and roofs ?
are the basis for additional explanations about the benefits of
UHPC and how it helps to realise several architectural
requirements.

The authors are extensively involved in the testing, design,
construction and monitoring of UHPC structures. What they provide
here is therefore a unique synopsis of the state of the art with a
view to practical applications.
