Cross-sectional analyses of circular and square reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with reactive powder concrete jacketing and fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping were undertaken. The stress block method was used to determine theoretical axial load-bending moment (AL-BM) interactions of the columns. These were then compared with experimental results and found to be in very good agreement. A parametric study was also undertaken to investigate the most important factors that influen...

Recovery mission as of yet. >> reporter: theres always hope. yasmin, theres always hope. but as the hours progress and the hours become days that hope diminishes but never extinguished. there is hope. look. people know. people know that as time passes the odds get worse. but theres still a lot of hope here. >> jose, is there anything still standing there? >> reporter: here? very little. some structures. theres some structures, concrete structures. the church. the police station. an apartment blo...

Additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing, is a technology that has gotten significant attention from researchers, manufacturers, and builders the world over for its ability to quickly and easily fabricate multi-dimensional objects.

With four of their five children having graduated from Imperial, alumnus Chris Bommer and his wife Aileen consider their family to have gained &ldquo...

The durability design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures that are exposed to aggressive environmental attacks (e.g., corrosion due to chloride ingress in marine environment) plays a vital role in ensuring the structural serviceability within a reference period of interest. Existing approaches for the durability design and assessment of RC structures have, for the most part, not considered the spatial distribution of corrosion-related structural properties. In this paper, a closed-form approa...

After several months of work, the Dutch city of Nijmegen is now home to the longest 3D-printed bridge for cyclists. The bridge measures 29 meters long and was manufactured in the 3D printing center of Saint-Gobain Weber Beamix.

Viele Bauwerke aus Beton sind schon in die Jahre gekommen und weisen durchgebogene Betonbalken, Risse an Unterseiten von Brücken auf oder für die

Different spot. but there is one sentence in this article which makes you wonder. the question is was that more widespread across that whole level? if it had been, how much of a concern would that be to you? >> yeah. well, again, it was. we saw evidence of spalling throughout the parking garage. again, its well documented that, at this point, we recognize there was spalling. to the extent that we saw below the south end of that pool structure. maybe, not to that extent. but again, we did see evi...
