New research published in Engineering by Ju-Hyung Kim and Yail J. Kim explores the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with CFRP and UHPC under thermocyclic loading. Through ...

Exploring the key considerations for fiber-reinforced concrete, including its design, specifications, application, and how to properly finish the product.

Reinforced concrete is the miracle material which made possible so many of the twentieth century’s most iconic structures, but here in this century its environmental footprint makes it someth… ...

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this ...

Introduction to design of reinforced concrete structural components. Analyze and design reinforced concrete beams, columns, and footings. Understand material behavior, limit state criteria, and ...

The building was nine stories tall, made of reinforced concrete. ... Research has found ways to keep columns and beams strong even when they are stressed and bent.

If you put weight on a concrete beam from above, its top will hold up heroically against the compression. Its underside, however, will experience severe tensile stress as the beam deforms.
