According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

For buildings with wooden structural frames, a fire retardant skin can be used to reduce the rate of fire spread. Made of mineral fiber cement, these noncombustible panels can be installed as flashing ...

As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for flatwork ...

When adding steel fibers the size of a clip, concrete is less prone to cracking, an engineer demonstrates. What the study shows is that this material has certain advantages over conventional ...

From a distance, today’s building innovations in cladding performance, aesthetics, and construction appear unconstrained and quite varied. Material mixing is creating newly expressive façades, and ...

Low vacuum environment engineering has received considerable attention due to its vast applications in fields such as ultra-high-speed transportation, aerospace technology, and cutting-edge physics ...
