Four concrete cooling towers at a coal-fired electrical generation plant exhibited reinforcing steel corrosion that was causing concrete deterioration. This case study follows the repairs to those ...
2015 failure at a hotel parking garage in Cherokee, N.C., triggered an investigation of precast double-Ts reinforced with C-Grid. The American Concrete Institute is gearing up to develop ACI’s first ...
New York-based Roman Stone Construction has partnered with Rock Fiber, Inc. to introduce basalt fibres to the United States precast concrete market, an advanced composite reinforcement technology ...
Precast concrete is a construction product made by curing concrete in a reusable mold or form. Produced in a controlled factory environment, precast concrete can be closely monitored during cure, ...
Peak 10’s 60,166-square-foot purpose-built, multistory data center facility in North Tampa, Fla., U.S., was fabricated using Metromont’s C-GRID-reinforced insulated precast concrete panels for high ...
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this material has ...
As a replacement for conventional steel reinforcing, carbon fibre grid can dramatically improve many aspects of concrete performance. It had been used primarily in concrete for rehabilitation ...
According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...
In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, construction materials such as steel—a necessary material for use in traditional concrete applications—have been significantly impacted by price increases ...
