As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

A cross-sectio of hollow rebar. Drexel University researchers have developed a new approach to reinforce concrete that takes inspiration from nature, specifically the hollow structures found in plant ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

The Stark residence foundation plan incorporates coordinated measures for reinforcement, water resistance, and site drainage. Footings will use rebar to increase tensile strength and load distribution ...

Nearly 40% of failure of concrete structures occurs due to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. For this reason, corrosion control of steel reinforcement is essential to prevent damage and ...

Roughly 11,000 kilometers of GFRP rebar reinforce this concrete flood mitigation channel in Jizan, Saudi Arabia, and enable its 100-year service life. Photo Credit for all images: Mateenbar Worldwide, ...
