Four concrete cooling towers at a coal-fired electrical generation plant exhibited reinforcing steel corrosion that was causing concrete deterioration. This case study follows the repairs to those ...

As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) was recently accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an ANSI Accredited Standards Developer (ASD). The scope of CRSI’s ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) increased the design strength for concrete reinforcing steels to 100 ksi for bridges and ...

Reinforcing steel and ribbed reinforcement bars (rebars) are essential to civil engineering, forming a category of key structural materials which, in the case of concrete-reinforcing steel, are ...

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 ...

Valley representatives can experience a new landmark in public transportation with the expansion of the light rail as its construction features fiber-reinforced concrete for the first time in the ...

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 ...
