Infra-lightweight concrete – Potentials for the precast industry
II.) Material-appropriate designing and building
Infra-lightweight concrete is of such lightweight and thus thermal insulating, so that this concrete enables the construction of architectural concrete buildings which meet today’s structural physical requirements, even without any need for additional insulating material. Such building structures with exterior walls made from virtually only one mineral material – load-bearing thermal insulation – allow for greater freedom of design because the structural design details are drastically simplified. Due to the porous material, they provide for a pleasant indoor climate, and they can be re-used at...
