The massive, reinforced concrete U-boat pens have proved impractical to demolish and are now partly used as a cultural centre for exhibitions.

However, due to the absence of reinforcement, its tensile strength was far lower than modern reinforced concrete, and its mode of application was also different:

Insulating Concrete Forms ( ICFs ) are hollow blocks or panels made of either insulating foam or rastra that are stacked to form the shape of the walls of a building and then filled with reinforced concrete to create the structure.

ICFs are hollow blocks or panels made of fire-proof insulating foam that are stacked to form the shape of the walls of a building and then filled with reinforced concrete to create the structure.

** Fiber reinforced concrete

These were some of the first reinforced concrete buildings, and their plans did not contain enough details ( such as how much reinforcing bar had been embedded in the concrete ) to be sure they were safe, so the engineers recommended demolition.

A reinforced concrete column is extended by having the steel reinforcing bars protrude a few inches or feet above the top of the concrete, then placing the next level of reinforcing bars to overlap, and pouring the concrete of the next level.

In the original scheme, an externally cross-braced framed tube was applied with primary / secondary beams carrying metal decking with reinforced concrete slab.

As climbing form and table form construction method and efficient construction management are used in this project which make this reinforced concrete structure take no longer construction time than the steel structure.

And the most attractive point is that the reinforced concrete scheme can save HK $ 230 million compared to that of steel structure.

Hence the reinforced concrete structure was adopted and Central Plaza is now one of the tallest reinforced concrete buildings in the world.

Another advantage of using reinforced concrete structure is that it is more flexible to cope with changes in structural layout, sizes and height according to the site conditions by using table form system.

* Building and structural firewalls in North America are usually made of concrete, concrete blocks or reinforced concrete.

The view that there was no rigid structure is reinforced by S. T. Joshi, who stated " Lovecraft's imaginary cosmogony was never a static system but rather a sort of aesthetic construct that remained ever adaptable to its creator's developing personality and altering interests ... here was never a rigid system that might be posthumously appropriated ... he essence of the mythos lies not in a pantheon of imaginary deities nor in a cobwebby collection of forgotten tomes, but rather in a certain convincing cosmic attitude.

By 1913, the yellow brick factory had been demolished and on the site a new 5-story structure of reinforced concrete and red brick had been built.

First, Le Corbusier lifted the bulk of the structure off the ground, supporting it by pilotis – reinforced concrete stilts.

The Millennium Stadium was therefore built with the old reinforced concrete structure of the National Stadium ( North Stand ) and the new steel Millennium Stadium structure built around it.

:* Textile reinforced materials – materials in the form of ceramic or concrete are reinforced with a primarily woven or non-woven textile structure to impose high strength with comparatively more flexibility to withstand vibrations and sudden jerks.

The Paulins Kill Viaduct, Hainesburg, New Jersey, is 115 feet ( 35 m ) tall and 1, 100 feet ( 335 m ) long, and was heralded as the largest reinforced concrete structure in the world when it was completed in 1910 as part of the Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line project.

It has been argued that these interconnecting units of kinship reinforced a hierarchic structure with aristocratic clans at the top.

Continuous reinforced materials will often constitute a layered or laminated structure.

This theological bent was reinforced by the legal structure of the Lutheran State church.

Contemporary convertible design may include such features as electrically heated glass rear window ( for improved visibility ), seat belt pre-tensioners, boron steel reinforced A-pillars, front and side airbags, safety cage construction – a horseshoe like structure around the passenger compartment – and roll over protection structures or ( ROPS ) with pyrotechnically charged roll hoops hidden behind the rear seats that deploy under roll-over conditions whether the roof is retracted or not.

Sadly, the full understanding of the engineering qualities of fiberglass reinforced plastic was still several years off and the suspension attachment points were regularly observed to pull out of the fiberglass structure.

The fourth and most impressive building is the " Palacio do Governo ", which is the world's largest suspended structure, built in reinforced concrete.

The bell tower is an open steel structure reinforced by steel plates.

In many vertebrates, the sclera is reinforced with plates of cartilage or bone, together forming a circular structure called the scleral ring.

The goal of the scheme is adaptive reuse, where most of the buildings will be reinforced where needed and repurposed to house the new programming planned for the site.

The Center is one of the few skyscrapers in Hong Kong that is entirely steel-structured with no reinforced concrete core.

To support the tower ’ s record heights and slim footprint, he developed the “ buttressed core ” structural system, consisting of a hexagonal core reinforced by three buttresses that form a Y shape.

The carbon dioxide coolant circulates through the core, reaching 640 ° C ( 1, 184 ° F ) and a pressure of around 40 bar ( 580 psi ), and then passes through boiler ( steam generator ) assemblies outside the core but still within the steel lined, reinforced concrete pressure vessel.

Security features include extra-wide, pressurized, and filtered stairwells, reinforced steel and concrete throughout, a central concrete core protecting the stairwells, elevators, and plumbing systems, emergency lighting, and glow-in-the-dark paint.

Most boards produced today have an expanded polystyrene foam core reinforced with a composite sandwich shell, that can include carbon fiber, kevlar, or fiberglass in a matrix of epoxy and sometimes plywood and thermoplastics.

There are also modern alternatives to leather, including nylon, plastic covered nylon ( biothane being one example ) or leather over a nylon reinforced core.

The current 7 World Trade Center's design emphasizes safety, with a reinforced concrete core, wider stairways, and thicker fireproofing of steel columns.

The 38-story structure combines a steel moment frame and a steel and reinforced concrete core for lateral stiffness.

Five rockets were fired across the Rhone River at the incomplete containment building, and two hit and caused minor damage to the reinforced concrete outer shell, missing the reactor's empty core.

Note: Detonating cord consists of a core of HE ( 6. 4 pounds of PETN per 1, 000 ft ) wrapped in a reinforced and waterproof olive drab plastic coating.

It was constructed with aid of a tower crane located to the side of the reinforced concrete central core.

To support the unprecedented height of the building, the engineers developed a new structural system called the buttressed core, which consists of a hexagonal core reinforced by three buttresses that form the ‘ Y ' shape.

For example high specification boards may be made from composite carbon and glass reinforced plastics, possibly with a wooden core, similarly made to a snowboard deck.

reinforced on the core pipe with strapping tape.

The tower is a reinforced concrete, shear-wall / core structure and was the tallest structure of this type in New York City when completed.

It was a very solid building, with a central core of reinforced concrete that resisted the high temperatures of the fire without collapsing.

Outrigger trusses at the top of the building and at the various setbacks help to stiffen the building's reinforced concrete core against the strong winds prevalent in the area.

The tower has a composite steel and concrete frame featuring a pre-stressed, reinforced slip-form concrete core, which is stiffened by an outrigger truss at the top of the tower and at the various side setbacks.

* Hard suction hose: A flexible rubber hose reinforced with a steel core to prevent collapse from atmospheric pressure when drafting ; connected between the intake of a fire pump and a water supply and must be used when drafting.

The frame was constructed from poured-in-place reinforced concrete and employed post-tensioned girders to distribute the weight of each floor to the tower's exterior columns and central core, allowing for a column-free interior.
