Post war reconstruction period 1940-1970: steel and concrete structures in The Netherlands

摘要

This period is characterized by the development of existing building materials and steel and concrete structures, as well as by the use of new materials such as prestressed concrete and lightweight concrete. Steel construction methods led to the appearance of new forms such as space frames, suspended roof structures, shell structures and orthotropic decks on bridges. For concrete structures it was primarily new construction systems deriving from the employment of prefabrication and sliding formwork and new methods of calculation, which led to advances. Surveys and the typology of structures lead, on one the hand, to the assessment of historical cultural values, while on the other hand, information is acquired for transformations with the regard to changes in function. Examples of both typical and uncommon structures are given.
