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 ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...

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 ...

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.

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