The library is designed on sustainable principles. The two-storey reading room has a cast in situ concrete structure of cylindrical columns; the heads taper and extend to form four arms which support ...

Engineers studying the collapsed Florida tower said there seemed to be less steel reinforcement in certain areas than would have been expected from the 1979 design drawings. Share full article ...

Q: I’m building a new home and visited the job site a few days ago. I was aghast at a possible defect in my foundation. Parts of the concrete foundation are suspended in midair. The walls are only ...

Engineers at Iowa State University think concrete columns could be the key to building taller, higher-powered wind turbines. By making the switch from steel to concrete, it's thought that the upper ...

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 ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in modern construction.
