This book represents the selected papers from the 28th Concrete Days held May 19-20, 2022, in Prague, Czech Republic. It comprises the results of scientific investigation and engineering solutions in the area of construction and is focused on the properties of various modern concrete and concrete structures.
The reader will find in the book the analysis of the properties and behaviour of concrete, various admixtures, building composites and other materials, as well as studies of various building structures with metal and composite elements, their mechanical properties and fatigue and damage processes. Some issues of technical supervision and sustainable development in the construction sector are also observed. This book will be helpful not only to engineers but also to academic researchers and students involved in activities related to the construction industry.
This issue represents to readers the last research results and practical decisions in metallurgy of alloys and steel, technologies of their processing, technologies and materials for wastewater treatment, and also in the area of building materials and construction technologies. This issue will be helpful for specialists in metallurgy, materials processing, wastewater treatment and buildings.
