Concrete, although the most common building material in the world, is brittle and can easily crack under tension.

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) represents a significant advance in cementitious materials, combining exceptionally high compressive strength with superior durability and durability-related ...

Los Angeles could have to rebuild over 30% of the city. California has fires, earthquakes, high winds and other risks. Replacing hundreds of billions in residential and commercial buildings and roads ...

Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world. It is strong when supporting heavy weight, but it can crack when it is pulled or bent. To solve this problem, engineers developed a ...

A recent study published in Engineering delves into the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) under ...

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) combines an optimised particle packing, high cementitious content and often millimetre-scale steel fibres to achieve compressive strengths exceeding 150 MPa and ...

More than 40,000 bridges in the United States are deemed structurally deficient, and as many as 221,000 deemed in need of repair, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association.
