Most slabs-on-ground are unreinforced or nominally reinforced for crack-width control. When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of ...

When positioned in the upper or top portion of the slab thickness, steel reinforcement limits the widths of random cracks that may occur because of concrete shrinkage and temperature restraints, ...

Many farmers do their own concrete work. Here are tips from pros to improve the quality of the finished slab: Fiber-strand reinforcing, which means fiberglass or other fibers are mixed with the ...

Concrete is incredibly strong in compression - but very weak in tension. That’s why engineers add reinforcement. In this video, I explain why reinforcement is needed, how rebar helps, and how ...

Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...
