A comprehensive investigation into the punching shear (PS) strengthening behavior of corroded two-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs using thin-ply glass/carbon hybrid FRP was conducted through an ...

Concrete has carried civilization for two millennia, yet it remains stubbornly blind. Engineers can measure how a bridge deck ...

Researchers in Germany have developed a system for fabricating wood-based floor slabs that can be used in place of ...

Tunnels are among the most unforgiving environments in civil engineering. Buried beneath mountains and cities, their concrete linings endure crushing rock pressure, temperature swings, and decades of ...

Glass fiber-reinforced engineered cementitious composite (GFRECC) is being used in this study to repair short square reinforced concrete columns that are structurally weak and measure 100 mm \ (\times ...

Concrete is an integral part of any construction project, whether you are building roads, a a ground floor in your private home, or a power plant. This is because concrete is very durable, but it can ...

In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, construction materials such as steel—a necessary material for use in traditional concrete applications—have been significantly impacted by price increases ...

Reinforced concrete floor slabs account for about 40% of buildings' embodied carbon emissions. Until now, however, there has ...

Reinforced concrete is the miracle material which made possible so many of the twentieth century’s most iconic structures, but here in this century its environmental footprint makes it something of a ...

Concrete is a mix of cement, an aggregate such as gravel, and water. For added strength, steel fibers are often added. Now, scientists are claiming that a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete could ...

Concrete is a very durable material. Fine examples of its first structural use by the Romans are still standing, and concrete is now probably the most widely used building material in the world.

The article explains how concrete pipe supports durable underground systems through strength, planning, manufacturing, and ...
