Such changes were boosted by several innovations in the fields of applied mathematics, chemistry and physics. They involved patents licensing, optimization of materials production and machinery. There were new legislative frameworks, a specific knowledge transfer within a network of actors and the transformation of hierarchical frameworks. Written by international specialists, this two-part book is centered on case studies from the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Italy. The first part explores the mutual international influence between these countries and their intrinsic characteristics in this field, resulting from each nation's particular economic, social, political, cultural and technological conditions. The second part of the book focuses on the history of public works companies. Capable of carrying out both private works and major infrastructures, these players exemplify the technological and business advances that the construction sector has experienced over the last two centuries. A must-read for researchers on contemporary construction history in Europe"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aConcrete construction$zEurope$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aConcrete construction$zEurope$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aConcrete$xHistory 615 0$aConcrete construction$xHistory 615 0$aConcrete construction$xHistory 615 0$aConcrete$xHistory. 676 $a624.1/834094 700 $aMascarenhas-Mateus$b Joćo$01361906 701 $aMascarenhas-Mateus$b Joćo$01361906 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739494603321 996 $aChanging Cultures$93553919 997 $aUNINA
