Concrete has long been used as a building material for its high compressive strength, good durability and low cost. However, its well-known Achilles’ heel is its brittleness and limited tensile ...
TROY – A pair of professors at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are working with researchers to develop hemp-based rebar, which is typically made as a steel reinforcement, that can be used for cement.
Concrete is an attractive building material because of its relatively low cost, environmental stability, and high compressive strength. Due to its inherent low tensile strength, however, concrete ...
