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 ...

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 ...

Research shows ECC shells can transform RC beam-column joints, enhancing load capacity and energy dissipation, crucial for ...

This video illustrates a flexural test performed on a fiber-reinforced concrete beams using a universal testing machine from ADMET. ASTM C1609 is a standard test method used to determine the flexural ...

Cast-in-place reinforced concrete structural members deflect under load. Whatever the cause of the problem, engineers have sometimes tried to control deflection effects by requiring cambered form ...

Gustavo J. Parra-Montesinos is coming to the rescue of concrete-frame designers and contractors in earthquake country, long bedeviled by rebar-congested coupling beams that span openings in seismic ...

Bare concrete mightn't be the fanciest of finishings for a home, but with industrial conversions a growing trend around the world it has come to carry a certain simplistic charm. Chilean architecture ...
