The American Concrete Institute announces the availability of a new invaluable publication for concrete industry professionals—the Reinforced Concrete Design Manual.

This report investigates the failure mechanisms of shear-critical squat (ratio height to length of less than two) reinforced concrete walls, commonly used in many commercial buildings and nearly all ...

Ernest Ransome originated the design of twisted rebar, the basis of all reinforced concrete building construction. The twist makes the steel even stronger, and reinforces the bond between concrete and ...

Turner Construction, one of the world's largest builders, got its start in Brooklyn, specializing in reinforced concrete.

Drawing represents assembly for first-ever shake-table tests of large-scale link beams with embedded steel sections in a reinforced-concrete shear wall for a building taller than 240 ft in a ...

Carbon fiber reinforced concrete technology maximized the original architectural design while reduced the structural size, increased building usable area, and reduced the self-weight, reduced the ...

3D-printed fibre-reinforced concrete: a new era for the construction industry? After having radically transformed many sectors like automotive and aeronautics, digitisation and 3D printing has set ...
