A structural engineer is poised to be the first to use steel fibers as structural reinforcing in the lateral-force-resisting system of a concrete-framed high-rise in a seismic zone. The application, ...

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-resisting ...

Owners, designers and contractors are always looking for ways to build smarter and better. A new method for strengthening concrete shear walls has the potential not only to remove significant ...
