Where both concrete foundations and slabs use reinforced bars to improve strength and control cracking, foundations require a heavier rebar to support vertical structures. This sector typically ...

Finding rebars inside concrete is vital for contractors, drillers, and construction engineers. Detecting the rebars’ position, including depth, is vital for many reasons; very often, there is the need ...

It's tempting to think of "strength" as a simple variable and that various materials all fall somewhere on a spectrum of strong to weak. The reality, of course, is much more complex. Different ...

Supported by 130 steel shoring towers and wrapped in reinforced concrete panels, the partially built sphere designed to house the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ new 1,000-seat theater in Los ...

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 ...
