The American Concrete Institute has released the new ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook as a three-volume handbook providing guidance to professionals engaged in the design of reinforced concrete ...

Shimizu introduces a spray-based 3D concrete printing system for reinforced structures using robotics and simulation.

Study, Design, and Improve the Future of Buildings With a Graduate Certificate in Building Design From MTU. Building engineers are the foundation of any modern society. From evaluating structures, ...

Cast-in-place reinforced concrete structural members deflect under load. Whatever the cause of the problem, engineers have sometimes tried to control deflection effects by requiring cambered form ...

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 ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...

When project teams debate the relative merits of steel and concrete building frames, design quality is seldom the only criterion. Construction time and cost are usually paramount considerations. The ...

Let's think of a paper sheet. If we tried to stiffen it from its primary state, it couldn't support its own weight. However, if we bend it, the sheet achieves a new structural quality. The shells act ...
