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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Concrete is a very durable material. Fine examples of its first structural use by the Romans are still standing, and concrete is now probably the most widely used building material in the world.

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 ...
