Infra-lightweight concrete combines the structural and thermal insulation functions of the building envelope in one monolithic material, thus providing new design options. This handbook is a practical guide to building with this new type of material. The architects and structural engineers of the interdisciplinary team of authors combine their findings from many years of research.

In addition to essential information on designing with the material, including construction details, and an overview of the building physics properties, this book offers practical advice on building details, provided in the form of sizing tables and numerous details from various projects.
