Fabricating Complexity in Concrete with #iceformwork
Author: Vasily Sitnikov
ESR9- SIMULATING CONCRETE FORMWORK AUTHOR: VASILY SITNIKOV In order to minimize the amount of cement involved in concrete constructions, the concrete industry today chooses to reduce the share of cement in the total mass of concrete. This approach leads to lower mechanical properties of concrete, resulting in thicker floor slabs and massive beams. An... watch video
