Reflecting changing currents in engineering design and material availability, the American Concrete Institute has updated its 318 standard to ACI 318-25, with a new sustainability guide and updated ...

Building codes exist for a very simple reason; to ensure the building in question remains upright, structurally sound, and keeps its occupants protected from the elements. They exist to provide ...

Pictured: Example of computational fire modeling in a large industrial manufacturing facility. The model shows the fire location, and outputs information such as heat release rate and visibility, ...

The study investigates the cyclic bond behavior of FRP bars from four key parameters—bar diameter, embedment length, concrete strength, and rib geometry—leading to the development of a unified bond ...
