A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

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 ...

Some floor designs are better suited to specific applications than others. Understanding an owner's or tenant’s requirements is critical to recommending a particular type of design. Factors that ...

Composite steel‐concrete slabs represent a successful integration of two distinct materials, combining the tensile strength and ductility of steel with the compressive capacity and durability of ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in modern construction.
