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 ...

A ground beam is a reinforced concrete beam for supporting walls at ground level. Its purpose is to link the piles together and provide a platform for further superstructure construction. A beam is a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This short film, first published in 2012, is for teachers and review is recommended before use in class. Mark Miodownik puts the properties of reinforced concrete to the test. He watches as a beam of ...

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 ...
