Mateenbar GFRP rebar offers more durable solutions for production of a medical research center, and to improve structures ...

Macro-fiber reinforcement can be used as a cost-effective, sustainable solution for buildings constructed with insulated concrete form (ICF) wall systems, which have historically been reinforced ...

On May 2, the ASTM announced that its composite materials committee (D30) had developed a “new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)” rebar.

While steel reinforcement solves one of concrete’s greatest limitations, it creates an entirely new problem: Corrosion of embedded steel rebar is the most common form of concrete deterioration. There ...

a team at TU Dresden in Germany have completed what is believed to be the world’s first building made with carbon-reinforced concrete, in which the steel rebar is replaced with carbon fiber.

A newly published study in Engineering reveals a novel approach to the performance assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) ...
