Concrete is one of the most user-friendly building materials around. It’s durable and inexpensive, yet can be made amazingly attractive with today’s new concrete finishes. Learn how to pour a concrete ...

The Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar industry is about thirty years old. The industry started by molding aramid and carbon fibers with various thermoset resins, and then expanded to glass fibers ...

It's tempting to think of "strength" as a simple variable and that various materials all fall somewhere on a spectrum of strong to weak. The reality, of course, is much more complex. Different ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

The project conducted a series of experiments to investigate residual bond strength between rebar and concrete after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 15 beam-end specimens based on ASTM A944 ...
