Steel-concrete composite (SC) construction is a form of modular construction with two steel faceplates that are internally connected to create a sandwich panel.

A recent study investigates the combination of steel fibers and graphene oxide in improving concrete strength, potentially revolutionizing the future of construction.

Background Nuclear power plant construction involves extensive use of reinforced concrete (primarily because it is a cheap option for radiation shielding). As a result, the construction schedule ...

Concrete has long been used as a building material for its high compressive strength, good durability and low cost. However, its well-known Achilles’ heel is its brittleness and limited tensile ...

The work will be completed by this summer. “Steel-plate composite construction is an alternative to traditional reinforced concrete,” Churchill said. “Steel plates act as form work for the concrete, ...

A team at Shenzhen University has developed a self-sensing steel fiber-reinforced polymer composite bar (SFCB) that integrates distributed fiber-optic sensors (DFOS), enabling real-time monitoring ...

A new electric transmission line mono pole structure provides a more efficient load carrying capability for limited or restrictive diameter pole applications. The primary feature of the new pole is ...

Structure built using steel-timber concrete composite are designed to last for 20-30 years, but the buildings are weak. “If you get a tremor of any magnitude,” he said, “ [the] buildings ...

Foundation and columns I-beams are the widely used in this kind of construction and these are available in a variety of standard sizes, depending on what you need. In this case, steel I-beams act ...
