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 ...

This SP-293 Reinforced Concrete Columns with High Strength Concrete and Steel Reinforcement CD consists of 10 papers that were presented at a technical session sponsored by ACI Committee 441 at the ...

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 ...

When project teams debate the relative merits of steel and concrete building frames, design quality is seldom the only criterion. Construction time and cost are usually paramount considerations. The ...

State construction crews are finishing pouring 80 cubic yards of concrete to strengthen four columns under the Alaskan Way Viaduct near Colman Dock. The $5 million work is the first of six viaduct ...
