Reflecting changing currents in engineering design and material availability, the American Concrete Institute has updated its 318 standard to ACI 318-25, with a new sustainability guide and updated ...

Concrete slabs form the backbone of countless industrial and material-handling facilities. Whether supporting heavy machinery, mezzanines, pallet racks, or conveyors, a slab must be able to bear ...

When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of random cracks that may occur because of concrete shrinkage and temperature restraints, ...

Description: Principles of prestressed concrete. Prestressing systems, end anchorage, and loss of prestress. Analysis and design of sections for flexure, shear, bond ...

AI is increasingly being applied to concrete engineering, from mix design optimization and sustainability gains to automating construction document workflows. Recent studies show AI can identify ...

Furnace tests were conducted on large-scale loaded and restrained reinforced concrete tunnel slabs to evaluate the level of fire damage. Extreme fire events in tunnels may have catastrophic ...

Steel-to-concrete connections are critical zones in structural engineering, where precise design ensures safety, durability, and performance. From base plates and anchor bolts to reinforcement ...

There’s a patch of concrete on Drexel University’s campus that could portend a frost-free future for sidewalks and highways in the Northeast. Tucked inconspicuously next to a parking lot for the ...
