A look at how emerging technologies for FRP concrete provide alternatives to traditionally used steel and glass fibers.

"A great deal of the concrete we use today has the function to act as a protective layer to prevent the steel reinforcement from corroding. If we can use textile reinforcement instead, we can ...

Punching shear is a critical failure mode in reinforced concrete slabs, particularly around column connections. It occurs when a concentrated load, such as that from a column, causes the concrete ...

Rebar estimation plays a vital role in construction projects. Accuracy is crucial in construction. A rebar is a steel bar ...

UNM Engineers just patented a bendable, 3D-printable concrete material, that could change the game for construction 3D ...

Researchers from Hohai University, Northwestern University, and Politecnico di Milano have introduced a pioneering mesoscale mechanical discrete model, LDPM-MicroF, to simulate the fracture behavior ...
