The American Concrete Institute has released the new ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook as a three-volume handbook providing guidance to professionals engaged in the design of reinforced concrete ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

To gain a deeper understanding of pixel, we spoke with Rieder to delve into the development process of this new product, an initiative aligned with their goal to advance towards zero-waste by ...

Roughly two-thirds of the backyard of our new house is covered with concrete slab and so I thought I would go our there and break it up with a sledgehammer in advance of putting in a new garden. The ...

The history of concrete dates back to ancient Rome, approximately 2,000 years ago. The so-called “Roman Concrete” is composed of limestone, volcanic ash, and seawater and it permitted the construction ...

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 ...

Interviewer: Dr. Phil Pannell has been studying concrete for over 15 years and I've come to find out how to solve the problem of it's weakness. [NOISE] Interviewer: So what is this trick? I mean what ...
