Learn how seismic-resilient bridge design uses advanced materials, curved geometry modeling, shape memory alloys, and performance-based methods to reduce earthquake damage and downtime.

A transfer slab is simply a thick reinforced concrete floor slab where a column sits on top of a slab but does not have a column immediately below. In other words, it bridges between supporting ...

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

Reinforced concrete structures are physically heavy — and designing them can be just as weighty, burdened by a complex, code-heavy, time-consuming process that’s ...

A recent study published in Engineering delves into the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) under ...

There are many benefits of using concrete as your chosen hardscape material for your patio from its low-maintenance nature and durability to longevity. And while in the past settling for concrete's ...

The results of finite element analysis of reinforced concrete Vierendeel sandwich plates (RCVSP) using beam-plate elements calculation model show a significant discrepancy with the actual results.

After having radically transformed many sectors like automotive and aeronautics, digitisation and 3D printing has set sights on revolutionising construction. Today, regulations prohibit building with ...
