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.

One potential cost-effective way to sustain ageing concrete subjected to harsh environmental conditions is to externally coat the material with fiber reinforced polymer composites. But few studies ...

Concrete‐fiber reinforced polymer composite structures represent a significant advancement in civil engineering, merging the compressive resilience of concrete with the tensile reinforcement of ...

Shimizu Corporation develops spray-based 3D concrete printing - integrating a gantry robot with a material spray simulator.

Researchers are trying to make the process more efficient and definitive by using artificial intelligence, combined with a classic mathematical method for quantifying web-like networks, to determine ...

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 ...

SPECIAL ISSUE NO. 103. Global Topics and New Trends in Coastal Research: Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering (SUMMER 2020), pp. 407-411 (5 pages) Published By: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, ...

Concrete has long been used as a building material for its high compressive strength, good durability and low cost. However, its well-known Achilles’ heel is its brittleness and limited tensile ...
