Fran: This strengthening structure is called a truss. And a truss uses bars to form triangles between the vertical frames, called columns, and horizontal frames, called beams. Brick and stone are ...

In the quest for stronger, more resilient buildings and infrastructure, engineers are turning to innovative solutions, such as concrete-filled steel tube columns (CFST) strengthened with carbon ...

These advanced composite structures combine the robust load-bearing capabilities and strength of CFST columns with the lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties of CFRP. The result is a cutting-edge ...
