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 ...

This SP-293 Reinforced Concrete Columns with High Strength Concrete and Steel Reinforcement CD consists of 10 papers that were presented at a technical session sponsored by ACI Committee 441 at the ...

Conventional bridge construction involves a time-consuming process associated with traffic delays and risk to public safety. In contrast, prefabricated bridge systems can expedite construction, thus ...

The use of prefabricated structural elements is an integral part of many accelerated bridge construction (ABC) efforts. The connection of these prefabricated elements to the rest of the structural ...

Uni carbon fiber, placed in accordance with a structural design, enhances strength of reinforced concrete. Careful surface preparation ensures that wet-out carbon fabric adheres to the concrete to ...

A transfer slab is simply a thick reinforced concrete floor slab where a column sits on top of a slab but does not have a column immediately below. In other words, it bridges between supporting ...

More than 1.6 billion people worldwide live in informally constructed houses, many of which are reinforced with concrete. Patterns of past earthquake damage suggest that these homes have significant ...
