| Dear Ms Rodermond,
|
| A new editor-in-chief of BFT greets you with this editorial – who by no means is a newcomer to the precast concrete industry. Already inaugurated at the recent 63rd Ulm BetonTage, the author will already have met many of you, dear readers, at a wide range of technical trade shows, tours of concrete plants or other events of the industry. As a result, a genuine died-in-the wool concrete specialist will now hold the reins. As qualified construction worker by trade, and as construction engineer and concrete technologist, he is eminently versed in the field. Within a short time, a second editor will join the editorial office, whom we will introduce to you in our next bauma issue.
Your BFT-Team

| | In 2018 the well-known German company Würschum installed a new high precisions granular system COM 70 at Kreher Beton in Aschaffenburg, Germany. The system is equipped with 8 colour positions which meter in a stationary weigh hopper. This provides for very short cycle times and unlimited colour matching without changing positions. The system is installed at ground level in one row. A custom made feature is the heating of the dosing unit. Both concrete mixers have their independent filter cyclones.

|
| Although there are visible signs of its gradual acceptance in North Africa through its limited use in construction, Libya has yet to explore the feasibility and applicability of self-compacting concrete (SCC) in new construction. The current study revolves around SCC made of locally available materials and the harsh environmental conditions. This paper deals with the investigation into the effect of the water to powder ratio and limestone powder (LSP) on the fresh and hardened properties of SCC ...

| Thermal double walls can be considerably thinner and lighter if they are manufactured using carbon-fiber reinforced concrete. That means more space in the finished building and advantages for transportation to the building site. However, conventional means of connection are unsuitable for the connection of the wall shells. This paper presents a new type of thermal anchor with which the connection of the shells can be successfully accomplished ...
