Rebar estimation plays a vital role in construction projects. Accuracy is crucial in construction. A rebar is a steel bar ...

The image at the left shows the steel door frame clamped in position. Check out the finished version on the right after the shelter has been slid into place and bolted to the concrete slab.

However, there is some disagreement within the concrete industry as to the definition of reinforcement. For instance, should dowels at joints in a slab-on-ground or steel fibers be considered as ...

Steel can stretch, adding steel bars gives the concrete some tensile strength to go along with its compressive strength. Rebar also allows for thinner slabs and other members. Rebar or mesh ...

Specifically, the detachment of the steel deck from the concrete slab was observed, indicating that slabs without tension reinforcement behave similarly to non-reinforced concrete slabs under fire ...

A look at how emerging technologies for FRP concrete provide alternatives to traditionally used steel and glass fibers.
