An innovation from University of Wisconsin is impressive not only for its ability to make buildings better resistant to earthquakes, but also for its simplicity. A new design of fiber-reinforced ...
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 ...
Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.
Research shows ECC shells can transform RC beam-column joints, enhancing load capacity and energy dissipation, crucial for earthquake-resistant design.
The new study analyzes tensile characteristics of fiber-reinforced concrete, focusing on how different fibers and cements affect cracking and fatigue resistance.
