Sustainable construction, with the overarching goal of reducing the environmental footprint of everything we build is becoming increasingly important and urgent in the light of the climate change the world is facing. The use of innovative and sustainable building materials, especially concrete as the worldwide most commonly used building material, offers a great opportunity to significantly reduce climate-relevant emissions in the construction sector. Due to their performance and reliable durability, the use of innovative high-performance concretes will help to reduce the need for new constructions and to sustainably repair existing infrastructure. In new buildings in particular, the use of high-performance materials can help to save energy and natural resources, which reduces climate-relevant emissions and thus global warming. With the current HiPerMat 6, we are responding to the growing understanding of the impact of our construction activities on the environment by placing greater emphasis on sustainability issues.

Mit 3-D-Printing-Verfahren können geometrisch komplexe Objekte auch in kleinsten Stückzahlen wirtschaftlich hergestellt werden. In der industriellen Produktentwicklung ist die Anwendung dieser additiven Fertigungsmethoden daher mittlerweile Standard. Die direkte Herstellung von Endprodukten beginnt sich aktuell bei kleinformatigen Teilen, wie beispielsweise bei Schmuckstücken oder in der Dentaltechnik, zu etablieren. In der Architektur, wo großformatige und geometrisch komplexe Bauteile oft auch in kleinen Losgrößen benötigt werden, sind 3-D-Printing-Technologien bislang noch weitgehend ungenutzt. Ein bekanntes und für diese Fertigungstechnologie interessantes Material ist der kostengünstige und auch für großformatige Teile geeignete Zementwerkstoff. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Entwicklung und Verwendung von zementgebundenen Produkten für den Architektur- und Baubereich unter Verwendung des 3-D-Printing-Verfahrens.

Hanuman, the devoted monkey helper of Rama and Sita, has long been recognized as a popular character in India's ancient Ramayana epic. But more recently he has also become one of the most beloved and worshiped gods in the Hindu pantheon - enshrined in majestic new temples, but equally present in poster art, advertising, and mass media. Drawing on Sanskrit and vernacular texts, classical iconography and modern TV serials, and extensive fieldwork and interviews, Philip Lutgendorf challenges the academic cliché of Hanuman as a "minor" or "folk" deity by exploring his complex and growing role in South Asian religion and culture. This wide-ranging study examines the historical evolution of Hanum...
This book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 276-DFC: Digital fabrication with cement-based materials. The most important outcomes of the technical committee are presented. First, a unified process classification for digital fabrication with concrete is proposed, discussed and illustrated. Then, a state of the art of the testing methods (both at a material and structural level and in the fresh and hardened state) is provided. The gathered knowledge is expected to form the foundation of some quality control procedures for fresh properties along with hardened properties and service life performance. The book will benefit academics, practitioners, industry and standardization committees interested in digital fabrication with cement-based materials.
