A Rowan University team of engineers has developed a new way to measure how 3D-printed concrete deforms during printing and curing, revealing how lower layers respond to the weight and pressure of ...
A benchmark of six machine learning models on 1,849 reinforced concrete beams shows LightGBM beating ACI and CSA design codes ...
The deadly collapse of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s parking garage Wednesday started with something common in construction: a section of precast concrete roof. Many standalone parking ...
In liquid-bearing concrete structures, joints are where protective linings fail first. A monolithic film is asked to span a moving gap and stay bonded to both sides through thermal swings, settlement, ...
Concrete is one of most durable manmade materials, but even this old industry workhorse has its weaknesses. Exposure to harsh weather, reactions with common elements, and poor construction can all ...
Laboratory four-point bending tests on five full-scale composite beams show that a rhomboidal wet joint filled with metakaolin-modified coarse-aggregate ultra-high performance concrete carried 5.56 ...
