A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

Just look around. Concrete columns hold up potted plants, drip water or turn modern landscapes into ancient ruins. So why not make one of your own? Don't hesitate because you think concrete is ...

Four concrete cooling towers at a coal-fired electrical generation plant exhibited reinforcing steel corrosion that was causing concrete deterioration. This case study follows the repairs to those ...

Consider the following case. Contract documents call for #6 reinforcing bars embedded in a concrete wall and with right angle bends that will be the top bars in a floor slab to be added later. But ...

The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) recently released its newly updated 10th edition of Placing Reinforcing Bars and second edition of Field Inspection of Reinforcing Bars. Placing ...

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...

UNSW Sydney provides funding as a member of The Conversation AU. By itself, concrete is a very durable construction material. The magnificent Pantheon in Rome, the world’s largest unreinforced ...
