Makita’s new GRT01 is the world’s first 40V max 16-gauge rebar tying tool, offering stronger ties and higher output for ...

While many of us might think that concrete structures such as bridges simply stand unaided for decades at a time, the fact is that they require maintenance as often as once every five years. An ...

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

Morteza Khatib, a Ph.D student at the University of Miami, shows off a photo of the Fate Bridge on the university's Coral Gables campus. The bridge is built with glass-based rebar. "I was always ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

The Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar industry is about thirty years old. The industry started by molding aramid and carbon fibers with various thermoset resins, and then expanded to glass fibers ...

Nearly 40% of failure of concrete structures occurs due to corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. For this reason, corrosion control of steel reinforcement is essential to prevent damage and ...

In seismic zones, construction of concrete high-rises keeps getting easier, thanks to advances in high-strength reinforcing steel used for confinement of high-strength concrete. The first use of ...

We are super excited to announce the third prototype of SkyTy (P3). P3 has been able to fly and tie for a few months now. Watch the world’s first automated (hands-off) rebar tying by aerial robot.
