Concrete Houses Alive and Well After More Than 80 Years
- Autor:
M. K. Hurd
- Resumen:
Between 1919 and 1925, Kate Gleason built 75 homes in two East Rochester, NY, subdivisons—Concrest and Marigold Gardens. The homes were constructed with reinforced concrete walls and floors, had wood roofs, and were equipped with built-in garages, bookcases, kitchen cabinets, and other features that were advanced for their day. The homes are notable not only because they were constructed by one of the earliest female concrete contractors and ACI members, but also because they have survived for over 80 years with minimal repair. An update on these landmark homes is provided in this article.

Disaster Resistant Shell Houses
- Autor:
Cloyd E. Warnes
- Resumen:
Most of today’s “concrete houses” have concrete walls, but a wood roof. This wood roof can become the weak link when natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, strike an area. In contrast, all-concrete houses, such as those constructed with insulating concrete form (ICF) walls and reinforced concrete roofs, comprise very strong box shell structures that have been shown to be resistant to several types of natural disasters.

New Frontiers of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
- Autor:
Janis Oslejs
- Resumen:
In pursuit of increased productivity, contractors and engineers in some European countries have constructed slabs reinforced almost entirely with steel fibers. Initially, these applications were limited to slab-on-pile floors where the consequences of failure with respect to life safety were minimal. The excellent results, however, have encouraged the use of steel fiber-reinforced concrete in elevated suspended slabs with traditional reinforcing bars included only along the column lines for structural integrity.
