Researchers in Northern Ireland report promising results from a demonstration project that used rods made with basalt fibers to reinforce a 22-meter-long concrete-deck section of a $1.5-million ...
If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...
The project conducted a series of experiments to investigate residual bond strength between rebar and concrete after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 15 beam-end specimens based on ASTM A944 ...
The European Rebar Council (ERC) has announced it had entered into a partnership with ASDEA, a company publishing numerical simulations, software and hardware designed for the civil engineering sector ...
A structural engineers’ group has bucked calls to ban the use of quench tempered (QT) rebar in high-rise construction, issuing a board resolution stating that current regulations provide for the ...
New footage released by a team of federal investigators on Wednesday offered more evidence of overcrowded concrete reinforcement and extensive corrosion in Champlain Towers South — issues first raised ...
The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) promoted Dr. David Fanella, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., F.ACI, F.ASCE, F.SEI, to Vice President of Engineering. In this role ...
