Certified Testing Laboratory has partnered with MEDA Engineering and Technical Services to introduce a new eco-friendly concrete and rebar that can withstand natural disasters like; earthquakes, ...

The carbon fiber is woven into a mesh, or as a composite material that mimics existing rebar structures. These two types of reinforcement can be combined in a composite to produce a concrete ...

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

Around the late 1800s, someone thought to fortify spans of concrete with steel reinforcing bars, better known as rebar. Steel can stretch, adding steel bars gives the concrete some tensile ...

For this reason, the concrete is poured around an array of vertically-oriented lengths of steel rebar. Those reinforcing rods end up running through all of the layers, from top to bottom ...
