المملكة: Najran University registers a patent for developing a hybrid concrete bridge without rebar
You registered Najran University A new patent in the US Patent and Trademark Office in the field of civil engineering, funded by Traditional steel reinforcement, in a step that enhances the university’s efforts in developing innovative and sustainable engineering solutions.
The innovation relies on integrating traditional concrete into the upper part of the bridge to resist compressive forces, without the need for reinforcing steel, including a self-bonding mechanism between the layers of concrete during casting and production operations, and provides engineering and economic solutions that contribute to the production of concrete facilities free of problems of corrosion and rust of reinforcing steel.
In addition to reducing implementation and maintenance costs, which makes it an option Promising for facilities built in harsh environments exposed to factors affecting metallic elements.
Dr. participated in developing the innovation. Ibrahim bin Yahya Ahmed Hakim, associate professor of civil engineering and expert in concrete and building materials technologies, and Dr. Muhammad Kalim Al-Rahman.
Providing advanced engineering solutions
The Vice Dean of Najran University for Postgraduate Studies and Scientific Research, Dr. Hoda Al-Yami, said that the patent represents a qualitative addition to the university’s system of innovation and scientific research, and reflects the ability of researchers to provide advanced engineering solutions that respond to development and industrial challenges.
