Researchers at the University of Sharjah have demonstrated that concrete can be reinforced using polymer plates instead of ...

Scientists have successfully tested eco-friendly plastic plates as a potential replacement for the steel bars traditionally ...

Researchers have demonstrated that applying plaster to reinforced concrete (RC) beams significantly improves their structural performance and moment capacity after exposure to uncontrolled fire. The ...

This video illustrates a flexural test performed on a fiber-reinforced concrete beams using a universal testing machine from ADMET. ASTM C1609 is a standard test method used to determine the flexural ...

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 ...

The composite materials testing community is moving toward the use of the terms long beam flexure and short beam flexure when addressing sandwich panel testing. The former is used to determine ...

Research shows that utilizing recycled rubber derived from scrap vehicle tires can significantly contribute to the development of semi-lightweight and lightweight concrete. Owing to the rapid growth ...
