In seismic zones, construction of concrete high-rises keeps getting easier, thanks to advances in high-strength reinforcing steel used for confinement of high-strength concrete. The first use of ...
The Charles Pankow Foundation is about to begin a nearly $27- million fund-raising campaign to support unprecedented research in high-strength reinforcing steel. The goal of the five-year research ...
During concrete works, one detail that often goes unnoticed by non-engineers is the rebar chair. These small supports hold reinforcement bars at the correct height before and during concrete ...
A structural engineers’ group has bucked calls to ban the use of quench tempered (QT) rebar in high-rise construction, issuing a board resolution stating that current regulations provide for 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 ...
New footage released by a team of federal investigators on Wednesday offered more evidence of overcrowded concrete reinforcement and extensive corrosion in Champlain Towers South — issues first raised ...
The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) promoted Dr. David Fanella, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., F.ACI, F.ASCE, F.SEI, to Vice President of Engineering. In this role ...
