In seismic zones, construction of concrete high-rises keeps getting easier, thanks to advances in high-strength reinforcing steel used for confinement of high-strength concrete. The first use of ...
Researchers in Northern Ireland report promising results from a demonstration project that used rods made with basalt fibers to reinforce a 22-meter-long concrete-deck section of a $1.5-million ...
A structural engineers’ group has bucked calls to ban the use of quench tempered (QT) rebar in high-rise construction, issuing a board resolution stating that current regulations provide for the ...
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 ...
The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) promoted Dr. David Fanella, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., F.ACI, F.ASCE, F.SEI, to Vice President of Engineering. In this role ...
