Slab thickness is the greatest single factor controlling the load-carry capacity of a slab-on-ground. While other factors including concrete compressive strength, the thickness and quality of the base ...

A new type of steel-reinforced concrete protects buildings better from bomb attacks. Researchers have developed a formula to quickly calculate the concrete’s required thickness. The material will be ...

Drying shrinkage is caused by a loss of moisture from the concrete. It occurs after concrete hardens and continues months and even years depending on the slab thickness and ambient conditions. This ...
