Acquire the ability to perform design tasks for building structures. Study advanced connections, complex structures, and system-level building design. Learn advanced techniques to evaluate structures ...

A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

The seismic performance of beam-column joints in reinforced concrete structures is paramount for ensuring the overall resilience of built environments in regions exposed to earthquakes. These joints ...

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...

Throughout the 20th century, a number of innovators experimented with fabric as a flexible membrane for the support of fluid concrete, forming structural members. Significant among the early ...
