Structural Concrete - A 50 year perspective
This is one of the most straightforward articles i could find. I particularly like it because it outlines the development of concrete industry over the past 50 years by segmenting it into its various facets, ranging from the changes in government policy, changes in clients needs (more medium/high density work) changes in materials, operations and methods and building standards and codes. However, what makes this article so relevant to today is it shows not only the past but the future direction in the industry, most notably the growing emphasis on embodied energy and longevity of design.
