Discover the Enhanced Integrated Dowel Model (EIDM) for optimizing concrete slab dowel design, reducing costs, and improving ...

Concrete is one of the most user-friendly building materials around. It’s durable and inexpensive, yet can be made amazingly attractive with today’s new concrete finishes. Learn how to pour a concrete ...

In what’s become almost an annual rite of passage, concrete contractors at various industry conferences show me “war wounds” that have resulted from wire mesh and rebar (reinforcement bars). They wear ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

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 ...

Roughly two-thirds of the backyard of our new house is covered with concrete slab and so I thought I would go our there and break it up with a sledgehammer in advance of putting in a new garden. 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 ...
