Abstract:With the rise of interest in digital fabrication of reinforced concrete structures, a great number of structural concrete designs that depart from standard prismatic shapes are being suggested. This has prompted an exploration of steel reinforcement strategies that are alternative to the classical deformed or “ribbed” rebars. One such is to cut internal reinforcement from steel plates using a waterjet cutting machine. Advantages of automated waterjet cutting steel reinforcement include high precision and accur… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
