When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...
Reinforcing steel and ribbed reinforcement bars (rebars) are essential to civil engineering, forming a category of key structural materials which, in the case of concrete-reinforcing steel, are ...
AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...

Concrete made of recycled clothing scraps and carpet fibers is 40% stronger, researchers say
A research team at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia has crafted a unique new approach to civil engineering by using textile waste and carpet fibers to create sustainable concrete. Their ...
It’s a simple concept with a not so simple answer: reduce the weight of concrete without compromising strength. Let’s complicate things one more factor and address environmental issues as well; not ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Transitioning to clean wind energy could become more cost-efficient as Purdue University researchers test a new technology created by an international startup to anchor offshore ...
