N2  - "Concrete is still by far the most used building material. But the sustainability of reinforced concrete structures has to come into focus by exploiting its load carrying potential whereby expending less material. To reach the goal, computational methods such as FEM provide essential tools. In combination with experimental validation, they enable a deeper understanding of load carrying mechanisms. At the same time, a broader horizon for innovative structural designs opens up. However, sophisticated computational methods are usually provided as a 'black box' and carry the risk of misinterpretation and invalid results." -- Back cover
