Concrete

A measured response based on a full understanding of cracking and deflection can help engineers and owners avoid unnecessary panic and intervention.

Type K shrinkage-compensating concrete optimizes performance and value and minimizes carbon intensity impact.

This article explores the subject of radial and spiderweb cracking in reinforced concrete two-way flat plates and flat slabs (herein referred to as “two-way slabs”) and the underlying reasons for it. Proper investigation of radial and spiderweb cracking will be addressed in a following issue of STRUCTURE.

Geology, hydrology, hydraulics, and more go into the structural engineering puzzle of each dam project.

Coordination, collaboration, and creativity were required to meet the structural engineering challenges created by the building’s unique canyon feature.

To view the figures and tables associated with this article, please refer to the flipbook above. The poor performance of non-ductile concrete structures typically requires significant structural intervention to meet project seismic goals. Engineers usually take a linear analysis approach […]
