Fire Resistivity and Fire Ratings of Reinforced Concrete

Burning away the confusion surrounding Understanding the true relationship emphasizes concrete's superior performance characteristics if a fire occurs

Interest surrounding cast-in-place reinforced concrete construction for multistory manufacturing and warehousing is growing, especially where space is limited and property costs are high. This type of construction supports heavy floor loadings with wide bay sp...

Seismic Retrofitting of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Carbon Composites
ACI Structural Journal ; This laboratory study concerns the use of carbon composites to restore the seismic effectiveness of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete bridge columns with inadequate length lap-spliced reinforcement at their base and subjected to severe environmental conditions. Large-diameter reinforced
Axial-Shear-Flexure Interaction Approach for Reinforced Concrete Columns
ACI Materials Journal ; An approach is presented for displacement-based analysis of reinforced concrete columns based on principles of axial-shear-flexure interaction. Shear behavior is modeled by applying the modified compression field theory, and flexure behavior is modeled by employing the conventional section
