Furnace tests were conducted on large-scale loaded and restrained reinforced concrete tunnel slabs to evaluate the level of fire damage. Extreme fire events in tunnels may have catastrophic ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

Under a £282 million (~$381 million) project, the National Composites Center (NCC, Bristol, U.K.) and construction company Skansa (Stockholm, Sweden) are trialing an “industry-first” low-carbon ...

The electrons produced during this process are conducted through the metal whilst the ions formed are transported via the pore water which acts as the electrolyte. Concrete as an Environment The ...

Roughly two-thirds of the backyard of our new house is covered with concrete slab and so I thought I would go our there and break it up with a sledgehammer in advance of putting in a new garden. The ...

Reinforced concrete is the miracle material which made possible so many of the twentieth century’s most iconic structures, but here in this century its environmental footprint makes it something of a ...
