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 ...

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) published ACI 318-19: “ Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete ” in July 2019, in response to new engineering practices and industry changes. ACI 318 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cast-in-place reinforced concrete structural members deflect under load. Whatever the cause of the problem, engineers have sometimes tried to control deflection effects by requiring cambered form ...

__ 1867: __F. Joseph Monier patents a new construction material: reinforced concrete. It combines the compressive strength of ordinary concrete with the tensile strength of iron. The ancient Egyptians ...
