This is a state-of-the-art summary of recent developments in construction, design and the innovation in concrete technology. It describes, in an accessible form, a number of building studies where speed of construction, cost savings and early completion were a priority, and it highlights the outcome of some highly original and pioneering research on concrete technology. Innovations in Concrete will enable design and construction professionals and students to better understand fast build technology, and increase their awareness of current advances in concrete construction technology.
