Disaster Resistant Shell Houses
- Autor:

- 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.

The Hidden Meaning of Water-Cement Ratio

- Resumen:
Concrete mixtures are almost always characterized by their water-cement ratio w/c. Unfortunately, the w/c is an abstract number without any particular meaning and is inversely related to concrete strength: the lower w/c, the greater the concrete compressive strength. As demonstrated in this article, the w/c also has a hidden meaning that helps explain its relationship to compressive strength and makes this relationship easier to understand.
