A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...

Conventional bridge construction involves a time-consuming process associated with traffic delays and risk to public safety. In contrast, prefabricated bridge systems can expedite construction, thus ...

The use of prefabricated structural elements is an integral part of many accelerated bridge construction (ABC) efforts. The connection of these prefabricated elements to the rest of the structural ...

Uni carbon fiber, placed in accordance with a structural design, enhances strength of reinforced concrete. Careful surface preparation ensures that wet-out carbon fabric adheres to the concrete to ...
