Where both concrete foundations and slabs use reinforced bars to improve strength and control cracking, foundations require a heavier rebar to support vertical structures. This sector typically ...

"Design strength and ductility issues need to be resolved," among other issues, says Kelly. The research also will confirm long-held assumptions about 60-ksi rebar that were based on judgment or past ...

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 ...

Established in 1986, Foundation Technologies, Inc. (FTI) is a high-growth company specializing in the supply of construction materials and equipment for the deep foundation industry. FTI has a ...
