Concrete calendar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concrete calendar from 1979

The concrete calendar is a two-part yearbook for concrete and reinforced concrete construction (formerly: concrete and reinforced concrete construction). It contains contributions by different authors with changing topics. Originally, the calendar actually contained a calendar, on which the name is based. The calendar was then no longer printed, but the name has been retained.

The concrete calendar developed u. a. from the magazine “ Beton und Eisen ” published from 1901 (from 1905 with Ernst and Son) by Friedrich von Emperger in collaboration with the publisher Georg Ernst . Emperger was the first editor until 1922. The book should accompany the “progress of reinforced concrete construction” annually. The first year of 1906 was printed in an edition of 5000 copies. In 2006, the Ernst & Sohn publishing house therefore celebrated its 100th anniversary. According to Emperger, the secret government councilor August Laskus (1859-1946) was the publisher from 1923 , from 1945 to 1950 it was published by Bernhard Wedler , then by Georg Ehlers until 1968 , from 1969 to 1990 by Gotthard Franz and from 1991 to 2002 by Josef Eibl . In 1971 the concrete calendar achieved a circulation record in its history of over 30,000 copies (which overtook the hut ) when the new version of DIN 1045 (concrete and reinforced concrete) was printed in it.

The editors are Konrad Bergmeister , Frank Fingerloos (from 2009) and Johann-Dietrich Wörner (Bergmeister and Wörner since 2003). The authors of the concrete calendar included Emil Mörsch , Fritz Leonhardt , Jörg Schlaich , Günter Worch , Hubert Rüsch , Herbert Kupfer , Heinz Duddeck .

There is also a similarly designed “masonry calendar” (from 1975), a “steel construction calendar” (from 1934) and a “building physics calendar” (from 2001) at Ernst und Sohn.

There were also translations, first into Dutch in 1931 and into Spanish in 1952, but also into Finnish, English (1995, Concrete Structures. Eurodesign Handbook , by Ernst and Son), Greek, Italian, Japanese. From 2000, special editions for students were also published (Calendar Special: Dimensioning and Constructing in Studies: Concrete, Masonry and Steel Composites )

Annual changing focus

Before 2003, the concrete calendar contained many textbook-like articles. The contributions were repeated and updated annually. The concrete calendar has had two focal points every year since 2003 and the articles in the book are each based on these focal points:

  • 2003: high-rise buildings and multi-storey buildings
  • 2004: bridges and parking garages
  • 2005: prefabricated parts and tunnels
  • 2006: Tower structures and industrial buildings
  • 2007: Traffic structures and surface structures
  • 2008: Water-specific structures and earthquake-proof construction
  • 2009: Structural engineering and current solid construction standards
  • 2010: Bridges and concrete construction in the water
  • 2011: Kraftwerke - fiber reinforced concrete , Ernst & Sohn, Berlin 2010, ISBN 978-3-433-02954-1 .
