IIT Madras researchers have developed a new tool to accurately model the beam-column joints in buildings accurately and ...

Explore the intricate process of manufacturing pre-tensioned concrete columns used in large-scale construction projects. The process involves stretching steel tendons within the concrete before ...

The new joint design for timber-concrete composite frames significantly improves load transfer and stiffness, addressing key ...

As part of addressing this problem, 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 ...

Pre-stressed concrete is an ideal material for beam bridge construction; the concrete withstands the forces of compression well and the steel rods imbedded within resist the forces of tension.

Around the late 1800s, someone thought to fortify spans of concrete with steel reinforcing bars, better known as rebar. Steel can stretch, adding steel bars gives the concrete some tensile ...
