The absence of effective reinforcement has hindered the widespread use of 3D-printed concrete. In this study, we propose an innovative in-process embedding technology that enables the simultaneous ...

According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

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 ...

Given the survival of ancient structures, this may seem curious. The critical difference is the modern use of steel reinforcement, known as rebar, concealed within the concrete. Steel is made mainly ...

Three-dimensional finite-element (FE) simulations were developed to assess the flexural response of ultra-high-strength concrete (UHSC) beams reinforced with basalt-FRP (BFRP) bars and with BFRP–steel ...

This month marks Brownstoner’s Steel Anniversary. We’re taking some time to look back at our past, even as we design a new future. Imagine living in the far future, able to look back in time and watch ...
