Tests on beams with span-to-overall-depth ratios of 1.0 to 3.3 eliminated 70% of diagonal rebar in coupling beams and used only special column-type confinement at the beam ends.

A recent successful load test on a steel-fiber-reinforced-concrete beam, free of congestion-causing diagonal reinforcing steel, promises to positively impact constructibility of tall, moment ...

Through the use of face-to-face gusset plates welded to the column, the greater part of the vertical load is carried by the gusset plates.

Learn the essential techniques behind building a strong, accurate concrete foundation beam in this in-depth tutorial designed for both beginners and seasoned builders. Foundation beams are the ...

According to the scientists, when compared to usual rebar materials, this breakthrough reinforcement with nanotubes resists stretching more effectively by 75-97% and is more resistant to any sort ...
