After a succession of eight separate earthquake simulations, a 110-foot long, 200-ton concrete bridge model withstood a powerful jolting, three times the acceleration of the disastrous 1994 magnitude ...

At 11:04 a.m. on Dec. 11 a rumbling was heard at the east side of the University of Nevada, Reno as an “earthquake” shook a four-span 110-foot concrete bridge with motions comparable to an 8.0 ...

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...

Swiss engineers have developed a new imaging technique that lets them see the insides of massive concrete bridges. Much like a sonogram, this technique provides quick, easy-to-interpret images, so ...

Repairing damaged concrete is a primary requirement in maintaining concrete bridges, and is also the basic requirement for any additional waterproofing, protection, or strengthening systems. Sika ...

Constructing a highway bridge is no small feat. A single project takes weeks from start to finish, including the planning stage, the hands-on construction aspect and final safety testing. Sheet Piling ...

RENO, Nev. – After a succession of eight separate earthquake simulations, a 110-foot long, 200-ton concrete bridge model at the University of Nevada, Reno withstood a powerful jolting, three times the ...
