In seismic zones, construction of concrete high-rises keeps getting easier, thanks to advances in high-strength reinforcing steel used for confinement of high-strength concrete. The first use of ...

The Charles Pankow Foundation is about to begin a nearly $27- million fund-raising campaign to support unprecedented research in high-strength reinforcing steel. The goal of the five-year research ...

A structural engineers’ group has bucked calls to ban the use of quench tempered (QT) rebar in high-rise construction, issuing a board resolution stating that current regulations provide for the ...

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 ...

Structural reinforcements are vital for improving the overall strength and lifetime of concrete-based structural applications, including bridge decks, parking garages, and drainage systems.

The Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute (CRSI) promoted Dr. David Fanella, Ph.D., P.E., S.E., F.ACI, F.ASCE, F.SEI, to Vice President of Engineering. In this role ...

New footage released by a team of federal investigators on Wednesday offered more evidence of overcrowded concrete reinforcement and extensive corrosion in Champlain Towers South — issues first raised ...
