Punching failure in footings occurs in thin pads that is subjected to heavy concentrated loads, such as concrete pads below racks’ supports in heavy storage facilities. Since the punching capacity ...

This study investigates the structural performance of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) columns reinforced with basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars under cyclic loading. Limited research ...

A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

A CFA member asks for an interpretation of the cover requirements for dowels in a footing used to provide connection between the concrete footing and the foundation wall. Question: I thought that wet ...
