One significant area of research involves the development of modular sandwich composite floor slabs that utilize self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC) and Basalt Fiber Reinforced Polymer ...

One of the key advancements in composite joint reinforcement is the use of z-pins, which are small fibers inserted into laminated composites to enhance their resistance to delamination.

Concrete's greatest weakness is its tensile strength, which can be less than 10% of its compressive strength. So, we often ...

concrete cover for all reinforcement. The general contractor ... Group A applies to WWR in slabs on composite deck and slabs-on-ground. Group B applies to WWR in elevated formed slabs, slabs ...

New materials are always of interest here at Hackaday, so it’s worth reading further about the nature of the reinforcement. The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that ...
