Just to say that I have already searched on the Web (google, books about
Ductal on amazon, ...), I have already searched in school's librarian (OPAC
by other colleges of engineering and architecture) with no success. The
topic is so new that it's very difficult to find materials and documents.
The only materials I have found was on LaFarge web site. Clearly, I have
already contacted the company to obtain (with no success) more technical
materials in addition
to the few brochures available on their web site.
I can assure you that I know to use google, internet, search engines and so
on. I will say more: if you try to search using only Ductal as keyword, you
will obtain all except resources about Ductal... you have to use
concrete+Ductal or Ductal+LaFarge.... if you know how to use google ;-)
My idea was to post on a newsgroup, for direct contact and information
exchange with people who could have employed Ductal for design in their
everyday professional life.
What is your contribution to this discussion? Nothing....
Do you have so time to waste? Are you so rude and unpolite to post this
inane answers?
Please, stop posting unless that (but I know that it's not possible....) I
have to post something useful.
It's clearly that you have never heard about Ductal....
