Where both concrete foundations and slabs use reinforced bars to improve strength and control cracking, foundations require a heavier rebar to support vertical structures. This sector typically ...

To support that, Mortenson created the mat slab at the bottom where eight below-grade parking levels will rise to the surface. Assuming all of those trucks from Stoneway Concrete were full, that's ...

It's tempting to think of "strength" as a simple variable and that various materials all fall somewhere on a spectrum of strong to weak. The reality, of course, is much more complex. Different ...

OLMSTED, Ill. (April 23, 2013) -- The "warm joint," in tandem with the application of self-consolidating concrete, gave the Olmsted team the time to beat the rising Ohio River by making placement in a ...

The project conducted a series of experiments to investigate residual bond strength between rebar and concrete after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 15 beam-end specimens based on ASTM A944 ...
