This project quantified the improvement in structural behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls retrofitted with a new method that allows the walls to rock over the foundation and self-center after ...
Q: I've been researching foundation types for both new homes and room additions. I've narrowed it down to either poured concrete or concrete block. Many websites say poured concrete is better than ...
If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...
Revision: Some of the entries in columns 4 and 5 of Table 6.8 have been revised (9/10/2019). Abstract: The main objective of this report is to improve the profession’s understanding of the seismic ...
As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) and Traditional Wall Systems: Key Differences in Modern Construction
Each wall system brings specific characteristics to a project...Evaluating factors like structural demands, energy ...
Consider the following case. Contract documents call for #6 reinforcing bars embedded in a concrete wall and with right angle bends that will be the top bars in a floor slab to be added later. But ...
