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

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 ...

That’s why civil engineering researchers at the University of New Mexico (UNM) have been developing a self-reinforced, ...

Bendable, self-reinforced concrete for 3D printing has been patented by researchers from The University of New Mexico (UNM).

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

Many reinforced concrete structures have been built in Switzerland and Central Europe since the 1960s. Time leaves its mark: chemical changes in the concrete may result in steel corrosion. Researchers ...

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 ...

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. Made from cement, water, sand and gravel, this ...
