Owners, designers and contractors are always looking for ways to build smarter and better. A new method for strengthening concrete shear walls has the potential not only to remove significant ...

Two techniques at work – the steel wall beams are cut by hand, with the Liebherr waiting with its shear to push the structure over once the cuts are completed. The machine then processes the resulting ...

Advances in the design and evaluation of cold-formed steel (CFS) shear walls have significantly enhanced the seismic resilience of modern structures. These walls, which integrate thin-gauge steel ...

Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.

Bangladesh has throughout this decade enjoyed a fast-growing economy and an equally fast-rising steel industry. The nation’s steel producers have a constant hunger for ferrous scrap, and Ovada, ...
