The performance of the final product depends heavily on the degree of cure - making it critical to ensure that the reaction goes to completion for the highest quality and reliability. Achieving this ...

In my January 2024 column, I reported on a new ASTM test method for use in assessing the damage tolerance of sandwich composites under compression loading: the sandwich compression-after-impact (CAI) ...

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which are normal stresses acting perpendicular to the beam cross-section. We can ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in modern construction.
