According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

Practicing engineers increasingly favor the use of high-strength concrete and reinforcement in their design. This SP-293 Reinforced Concrete Columns with High Strength Concrete and Steel Reinforcement ...

Fiber-reinforced concrete overlays are an incredibly effective means of extending the service life of a floor while maintaining operational continuity.

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...

A new method of connecting precast beams and columns will make it possible to quickly repair concrete buildings damaged by extreme events such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The patented technology, ...

After having radically transformed many sectors like automotive and aeronautics, digitisation and 3D printing has set sights on revolutionising construction. Today, regulations prohibit building with ...
