Concrete is crumbling on the Cross County Parkway in Westchester, revealing metal reinforcement called rebar that is not supposed to be exposed to the elements. The highway hazard has drivers very ...

Concrete is an attractive building material because of its relatively low cost, environmental stability, and high compressive strength. Due to its inherent low tensile strength, however, concrete ...

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 ...

A cross-sectio of hollow rebar. Drexel University researchers have developed a new approach to reinforce concrete that takes inspiration from nature, specifically the hollow structures found in plant ...
