While many of us might think that concrete structures such as bridges simply stand unaided for decades at a time, the fact is that they require maintenance as often as once every five years. An ...

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 ...

Morteza Khatib, a Ph.D student at the University of Miami, shows off a photo of the Fate Bridge on the university's Coral Gables campus. The bridge is built with glass-based rebar. "I was always ...

Standing before a crowd of curious onlookers at a corner of the show floor at the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas, Advanced Construction Robotics president and cofounder Jeremy Searock made ...

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 ...

Nearly 40% of failure of concrete structures occurs due to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. For this reason, corrosion control of steel reinforcement is essential to prevent damage and ...

TOLEDO, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MATEENBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar, a lighter, more durable and corrosion-resistant concrete reinforcement alternative to steel rebar for structural, heavy-load applications, ...

We are super excited to announce the third prototype of SkyTy (P3). P3 has been able to fly and tie for a few months now. Watch the world’s first automated (hands-off) rebar tying by aerial robot.

As mass transit needs grow worldwide, busy, crowded cities are building or expanding subsurface rail systems — called "subways" in the U.S. and "the Underground" or simply "the Metro" in much of ...
