A significant fraction of the bridges and dams made of steel reinforced concrete in the U.S. are structurally deficient, largely due to the corrosion of the steel. To avoid hazards, monitoring the ...
A recent study published in Engineering presents a groundbreaking approach to assess the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures using self-sensing steel fiber-reinforced polymer composite ...
Researchers at Shenzhen University have developed a novel self-sensing steel fiber-reinforced polymer composite bar (SFCB) that integrates distributed fiber-optic sensors (DFOS) for real-time ...
