The American Concrete Institute has released the new ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook as a three-volume handbook providing guidance to professionals engaged in the design of reinforced concrete ...

Dapped‐end beams, featuring a reduced or notched termination, are widely implemented in reinforced concrete structures, particularly in precast systems where construction efficiency is paramount. The ...

For decades, blast-resistant design was applied almost exclusively to military facilities. However tragedies such as the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11 attacks have spread concern for ...

Shimizu introduces a spray-based 3D concrete printing system for reinforced structures using robotics and simulation.

Concrete is a very durable material. Fine examples of its first structural use by the Romans are still standing, and concrete is now probably the most widely used building material in the world.
