Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 7, No. 1 (January to June 2013), pp. 164-175 (12 pages) Abstract: Rehabilitation and strengthening of old structures using advanced materials is a ...

One of the ways the strength and durability of concrete can be improved is by incorporating tensioned steel tendons before it is cast, which can then be released to compress the material as it sets. A ...

According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

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 ...

Civil engineering undergraduates learn about reinforced concrete through mixing, bending rebar, creating molds, pouring and finally testing concrete beams of two different sizes using CIEST's bending ...
