Valley representatives can experience a new landmark in public transportation with the expansion of the light rail as its construction features fiber-reinforced concrete for the first time in the ...

This Technical Note provides specific information about each area of inquiry, including charts, artwork and images to help illustrate the answers. The publication, Economical Reinforced Concrete ...

It's tempting to think of "strength" as a simple variable and that various materials all fall somewhere on a spectrum of strong to weak. The reality, of course, is much more complex. Different ...

Basanite Inc. (Pompano Beach, Fla., U.S.), a manufacturer of environmentally friendly, high-performance composite construction materials made from basalt fiber and basalt fiber-reinforced polymer, ...

As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

Yet, at high temperatures — around 500° C — the material achieved a yield strength of 300 to 400 megapascals, versus the ...

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 ...

Research shows near-surface-mounted reinforcement restores shear capacity in concrete beams with vertical openings, improving ...
