A look at how emerging technologies for FRP concrete provide alternatives to traditionally used steel and glass fibers.

Reinforced concrete deep beams are structural elements that are designed to carry heavy loads over short spans. Understanding their shear strength is crucial for ensuring safety and performance in ...

Harrow Crown Court closure due to crumbling concrete in the roof extended to 2026 - Harrow crown court will have been shut ...

Whether tunnels or retaining walls - many Swiss reinforced concrete structures from the 1960s to the 1980s are at risk.

Many reinforced concrete structures have been built in Switzerland and Central Europe since the 1960s. Time leaves its mark: chemical changes in the concrete may result in steel corrosion. Researchers ...

Punching shear is a critical failure mode in reinforced concrete slabs, particularly around column connections. It occurs when a concentrated load, such as that from a column, causes the concrete ...

Researchers from Hohai University, Northwestern University, and Politecnico di Milano have introduced a pioneering mesoscale mechanical discrete model, LDPM-MicroF, to simulate the fracture behavior ...
