Robots knot the reinforcing bars for prefabricated concrete elements at the crossing points. With around 10,000 reinforcement cages, this requires mass production, in which automation can save time ...

Building a reinforced concrete roof requires careful planning and precise execution, and using a construction mixer makes the ...

Fiber concrete reinforcement can be a cost-effective, durable and even sustainable alternative to conventional steel like rebar and wire mesh. Can synthetic fibers compete “head-to-head” with ...

The global steel rebar market size reached US$ 217.1 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 314.2 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.35% during 2021-2027.

The initial carbon cost may have been massive compared to modern reinforced concrete construction, but it probably wouldn’t have lasted much beyond 100 years if it had contained steel.

For instance, GFRP can achieve tensile strengths of over 1000 MPa, while steel typically ranges from 450 to 690 MPa. This means that while steel can deform, GFRP rebar and mesh maintain their ...

Private equity firm Pemba Capital’s thinking about calling time at steel reinforcing products group Ausreo, in what would end a lengthy 15-year stay on the company’s share register.
