Concrete and stone seem made to last forever. But the fact is they develop problems. It is not always as dramatic as the collapse of a section of the roof of the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in 2004. Gradual changes also occur that may compromise the appearance and structural soundness of buildings constructed with these materials. These changes can be created by efflorescence, thermal stress, weathering, leakage and corrosion.

This book explains how to avoid typical kinds of failure. With this in mind, it systematically analyzes cases of damage in contemporary international architecture. It also offers strategies for minimizing the risk of damage. Examples include such high-visibility structures as Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Parco della Musica in Rome and Vontz Center for Molecular Studies in Cincinnatti. In eight chapters, typical kinds of damage are explained and illustrated with examples.

Beton und Stein scheinen fur die Ewigkeit gemacht. Dennoch kommt es hier zu Bauschaden. Nicht immer sind sie so dramatisch wie der Deckeneinsturz im Terminal des Flughafen Paris-Roissy 2004. Es gibt auch schleichende Veranderungen, die Erscheinungsbild und Statik von Beton- oder Steingebauden beeintrachtigen konnen. Dazu gehoren Ausbluhungen, thermische Auswirkungen, Materialunvertraglichkeiten, Korrosion oder massive Krafteinwirkung.


Dieses Buch zeigt, wie sich typische Schaden vermeiden lassen. Zu diesem Zweck analysiert es systematisch Schadensfalle in der zeitgenossischen internationalen Architektur. Ebenso werden Strategien vorgestellt, mit denen sich das Schadensrisiko minimieren lasst. Zu den Beispielen gehoren so bekannte Bauten wie die Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, Renzo Pianos Parco della Musica in Rom oder Vontz Center for Molecular Studies in Cincinnatti. In insgesamt acht Kapiteln werden typische Schaden erklart und dann mit Beispielen illustriert.

Industry Reviews
Nach der Lekture dieses Buches ist man erstaunt, wie gut einige der gangigsten Schaden schon vor dem Bau in den Griff zu bekommen sind. Kunst und Bucher
