The papers introduce recent research results in the area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discuss modelling and design of concrete structures, bridges and buildings, properties of concretes as well as significant structural projects and their realizations.
The 14th International Conference "Special Concrete and Composites" (October 10-11, 2017, Skalský Dvůr, Czech Republic) was focused on the problems of preparing and use of the special concretes and composites in the practice of the contemporary construction. We hope that published results will be useful for many specialists from the area of building materials and concrete structures. Using of special concretes and composites is often closely connected with severe loading conditions of final elements. Design and development of the mentioned materials must take account of basic properties of all components because they can be special by their binder system, used fillers or by other technological solutions.
The papers introduce recent research results in area of modern concretes and concrete structures, discussed issues of modelling and design of concrete structures, bridges and buildings, properties of concretes and also the significant structural projects and them realizations.
We hope that this collection will be useful for many scientists and engineers whose activity is related to modern industrial production.
Use of special concretes and composites is often closely connected with severe loading conditions of final elements. In the designing and development of the mentioned materials must take into account the basic properties of all components, because they could be special by their binder system, used fillers or by the other technological solutions. Conference is focused on the problems of special concretes and composites from many points of view.
