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 ...

According to a May 2022 market report, the global fiber-reinforced polymer rebar market size reached $171.3 million in 2020. North America accounts for the largest share and this growth is expected to ...

In this video, learn how to build a round concrete "river" coffee table using conventional Quikrete concrete, rebar, and a welded steel three-legged base. If a welder is not available, wire the rebar ...

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 ...

Oroville >> In the nearly 50 years since the Oroville Dam was completed, construction methods have changed. Chico State University construction management professor Chris Souder consulted on the ...

The project conducted a series of experiments to investigate residual bond strength between rebar and concrete after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 15 beam-end specimens based on ASTM A944 ...

Carbon nanotubes become reinforcing bars that make two-dimensional graphene much easier to handle in a hybrid material. Chemists set nanotubes into graphene in a way that not only mimics how steel ...
