Structures for power generation are being designed and built at local, regional and international scales - the title provides the necessary knowledge for planning and design. Also: fibre-reinforced concretes incl. the March 10 DAfStb guideline on steel fibre reinforced concrete.

The editors: Professor Dipl.-Ing. DDr. Konrad Bergmeister is a professor at the Institute of Structural Engineering of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria, and has managed an engineering consultancy since 1990. He is also chief editor of the journal "Beton- und Stahlbetonbau" (Concrete and Reinforced Concrete Structures) published by Ernst& Sohn. Professor Dr.-Ing. Dr. h. c. Johann-Dietrich Wörner has been Professor for Structural Analysis at the Technical University of Darmstadt since 1995 and was the university's president until 2007. Since 2007 he has been chairman of the board of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) . Dr.-Ing. Frank Fingerloos is responsible for the construction technology section of the Deutscher Beton- und Bautechnik-Verein E. V. (DBV). Since 2008 he has been lecturing on concrete construction at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. As a member of DIN's standardization committee for construction (NABau) he has been actively engaged with regard to DIN 1045 and Eurocode 2. All the authors for the concrete yearbook are always chosen for their close practical experience in their respective subjects.
