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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

__ 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 ...

Bare concrete mightn't be the fanciest of finishings for a home, but with industrial conversions a growing trend around the world it has come to carry a certain simplistic charm. Chilean architecture ...
