Since fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are superior to traditional steel reinforcements, they are widely used in advanced concrete technology. By using a combination of fibres and FRP ...

Conventional structural analysis of buildings in reinforced concrete is performed considering beam-column connections as rigid. However, experimental results prove the existence of relative rotations ...

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 ...

Few cities test a building’s limits like Chicago. From frigid winters and scorching summers to lake-driven winds and dense urban conditions, it’s a proving ground for materials. That’s why architects, ...

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 ...

Crews in Guangxi, China are wrapping up punch-list items and dismantling the project site of what is now the world’s longest steel-reinforced concrete arch bridge. The Tian’e Longtan Bridge, with a ...

Abstract: In order to study the ductility of reinforced concrete columns under the influence of different parameters, six reinforced concrete column models with different design parameters were ...

Abstract: Maximum crack width of reinforced concrete (RC) structures should be controlled for satisfying the serviceability and durability requirements of the structures. However, the crack width ...

The Architects’ Alphabet is a 26-part series describing design elements featured in Gregory J. Scott’s upcoming book, “Urban Legend, The Life & Legacy of C. Emlen Urban,” Lancaster’s most renowned ...
