A recent series of dynamic tests demonstrates that there are several types and doses of steel-fiber reinforcement that can be used in performance-based seismic design of coupling beams—headers that ...

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, ...

A recent study published in Engineering delves into the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) under ...

Researchers at Spain's Polytechnic University of Valencia have developed "Lego-like" segments of 3D-printed plastic that can be pieced together as a lightweight alternative to reinforced concrete ...

Fiber-reinforced concrete overlays are an incredibly effective means of extending the service life of a floor while maintaining operational continuity.

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this material has ...
