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 ...

According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

This SP-293 Reinforced Concrete Columns with High Strength Concrete and Steel Reinforcement CD consists of 10 papers that were presented at a technical session sponsored by ACI Committee 441 at the ...

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 ...

A new method of connecting precast beams and columns will make it possible to quickly repair concrete buildings damaged by extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The patented technology, ...

Uni carbon fiber, placed in accordance with a structural design, enhances strength of reinforced concrete. Careful surface preparation ensures that wet-out carbon fabric adheres to the concrete to ...

Conventional bridge construction involves a time-consuming process associated with traffic delays and risk to public safety. In contrast, prefabricated bridge systems can expedite construction, thus ...
