HS2 - HS2 tackles materials shortfall by opening a new on-site rebar components facility 24032023

HS2 has set up a rebar threading facility to address materials shortages at its Copthall tunnel construction site in Hillingdon - creating jobs, cutting waste and reducing lorry movements. The new facility will make 92,000 rebar couplers, needed to construct the Copthall tunnel.

The Times - After the earthquake - Proving why Turkey's buildings collapsed, 19022023

The city of Antakya in southeastern Turkey has been destroyed by the most powerful earthquake to hit the region for 100 years. Tens of thousands have been killed and thousands more are still under the rubble. Eser Duran survived. Now he's one of a group of lawyers who are racing against the clock to gather evidence of illegal construction before the ruins are cleared away

Practical Engineering - What is Prestressed Concrete, 27112018

Prestressing reinforcement doesn't necessarily make concrete stronger. But it does increase the serviceability of concrete members by reducing the amount of deflection under load This video explains the two most common types of prestressed concrete: pre-tensioned and post-tensioned Prestressed concrete is used in all kinds of structures from bridges to buildings to silos & tanks. It’s a great way to minimize cracking and take fuller advantage of the incredible strength of reinforced concrete

Practical Engineering - Does Rebar rust, 25092018

While steel reinforcement solves one of concrete’s greatest limitations, it creates an entirely new problem: Corrosion of embedded steel rebar is the most common form of concrete deterioration. There are lots of ways to combat this problem, a few of which we discuss/demonstrate in this video, including fiber reinforced concrete, adequate protective cover, and fiber reinforced polymer bars

Practical Engineering - Why Concrete Needs Reinforcement, 26042018

More destructive testing to answer your questions about concrete. Concrete's greatest weakness is its tensile strength, which can be less than 10% of its compressive strength. So, we often reinforce it to create a composite material strong against all types of stress. This video briefly touches on conventional rebar and prestressed/post-tensioned reinforcement
