Dapped‐end beams, featuring a reduced or notched termination, are widely implemented in reinforced concrete structures, particularly in precast systems where construction efficiency is paramount. The ...
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 ...
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) published ACI 318-19: “ Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete ” in July 2019, in response to new engineering practices and industry changes. ACI 318 ...
Researchers at Spain's Polytechnic University of Valencia have developed "Lego-like" segments of 3D-printed plastic that can be pieced together as a lightweight alternative to reinforced concrete ...
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this material has ...
A ground beam is a reinforced concrete beam for supporting walls at ground level. Its purpose is to link the piles together and provide a platform for further superstructure construction. A beam is a ...
