Abstract:
This is the first of three linked articles: the present one deals mainly with the role of concrete technology in the design of structures. The next two will give examples of the influence of the knowledge of technology upon design, including examples of design that was not soundly based on such knowledge. The underlying cause of the problem is the inadequate teaching of concrete as a material at the undergraduate level.
