Aedificare: Revue Internationale d'Histoire de la Construction - Paperback

by Classiques Garnier (Author)

In 1935, the logistical preparation for the Ethiopian War was the occasion for an ambitious scientific and construction experiment with reinforced concrete in extreme conditions. At a construction site shaped by the military organization of labor, concealed by the action of fascist propaganda, two Italian engineers developed new theories on the behavior of reinforced concrete structures in a tropical climate and invented specific, low-tech construction techniques.
