We all know concrete is a top construction material known for its compressive strength and durability. But over time, even the strongest placements can be affected by outside factors, like seismic ...

Composite reinforced concrete and steel structures have emerged as a promising solution in seismic design, combining the compressive strength and durability of reinforced concrete with the tensile ...
