A simple, repetitive concrete design increased construction efficiency and reduced costs while promoting quality and durability for the new Nice-Middleton Bridge project. Read how precast helped make this $436 million project a success → https://bit.ly/4fZ5Z2l

Formworks for CROWN WALLS. Today, we want to share our extensive experience in constructing Crown Walls for maritime ports, a key component of the protective works that shield port infrastructures from the waves. 1. Support Flexibility   - From a prefabricated box to an earth fill on a slope, our formworks are designed to perfectly adapt to the chosen support base, ensuring stability and strength. 2. Modular Design   - Depending on the final height of the breakwater, we can design formworks that allow for concreting in one or several phases. This flexibility ensures an efficient construction process tailored to the project's needs. 3. Customized Crown Walls   - Whether it’s a solid crown wall for maximum robustness or a hollow one to house pipelines, storage rooms, or other facilities, our solutions are designed to maximize functionality and space utilization. With each project, Rúbrica Engineering is committed to offering innovative solutions tailored to the needs of each client. Build with Confidence; Rely on our Experience. #CivilEngineering #Formworks #Construction #MaritimePorts

precast staircase placement! Precast concrete stairs are manufactured using precast concrete materials and other precast components. These stairs are cast away from the construction site, in a controlled environment, where manufacturers ensure the right mix of materials to create durable and well-shaped precast concrete stairs.

Steel reinforcement bars, or rebars, are crucial in construction, providing the tensile strength that concrete alone cannot offer. Different types of rebars are used based on specific project needs and environmental conditions. 👉 Swipe through the carousel to explore the different types of steel reinforcement bars and discover which one is right for your next project! #SteelReinforcementBars #ConstructionMaterials #ConcreteStrength #BuildingBetter #StructuralIntegrity #connectionstructures #constructionprojects #connectiondesign #steeldetailing #steeldetail #steelfabrication #kdr #kdrdraftingservices #design #estimation #estimationservices #draftingservices #detailing #SteeldratingEstimation #SteelEstimation #steelstructures #powerfulSteelDrafting #tekla #structraldesign

The Ingalls Building (Cincinnati, OH) was the first reinforced concrete skyscraper in the world. The 16-story Ingalls Building, still in use today, was the world's first reinforced concrete skyscraper. Its success led to the acceptance of high-rise concrete construction in the United States.   Melville E. Ingalls, for whom the building is named, spent two years convincing city officials to issue a building permit. Skepticism was high, because the existing height record for a concrete building was only six stories. Ingalls knew that Ernest L. Ransome had been using reinforced concrete since the mid-1800s, analyzing ways to increase its strength. In 1884, Ransome patented the use of twisted steel bars for the reinforcing of concrete. His pioneering efforts helped establish the viability of concrete for large, multi-level buildings.   The 210-foot-high building was designed to act as a monolithic unit, with each floor slab providing a rigid diaphragm to steady the building from wind loads. . . . #historicbuildings #rebar #rebardetailer #steelreinforcement #rebarplacer #concreteconstruction #structuralengineering #rebarsplicing #StructuralEngineer #concretedesign #rebardetailing #StructuralStrength #BuiltToLast #drafting #detailing #concreteindustry #rebarfabrication #rebarfabricator #rebarinstallation #rebarconstruction #rodbuster #ironworker #jobsite #steelRebar

Did you know? Butler® offers #hybrid construction solutions for buildings requiring a mix of materials for a successful outcome. Butler's hybrid building solution integrates three types of primary structural steel with secondary structural members, and allows any wall material – including masonry, EIFS, concrete or Butler metal wall systems – to be used with a conventional or Butler structural system to create the desired architectural effect. #ButlerBuilder

Last call out for the Concrete Institute of Australia, Victorian seminar tomorrow 17 April 2024, on the topic of lateral floorplate design of buildings. There is more to it than you might think, especially for seismic design. Lots to learn and bring yourself up-to-date with this aspect of structural design. https://lnkd.in/gxNH3kh2

Slag Concrete Mix & Post-Tensioned System Key to Times Square New Construction The TSX Broadway building in Times Square needed cutting-edge design and engineering to maintain the site’s cultural history. Here's how contractors used a 40% slag concrete mix (minimum) for high-performance and low-carbon concrete. A post-tensioned system was used to transfer loads from the old structural system to the new one and a concrete ring-beam was used to lift the Palace Theater. For below-grade construction, a new concrete system was created to support the existing structure while the foundation was lowered by 30 ft. to accommodate a new subcellar. This system redirected loads to concrete columns supported on newly installed caissons. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g93ZkwxY #concrete #construction #fasteners #CONFAST #wedgeanchor #concretescrews
