2014 has been deemed “the tallest year ever.” This is because during 2014 nearly 100 skyscrapers were completed around the world. Three skyscrapers were completed in the United States while China topped the charts with 58 total skyscrapers. The increase in skyscraper construction is good news to the steel industry as most skyscrapers are supported with multiple steel components.
Many of these steel supported infrastructures use pre-stressed concrete. Pre-stressed concrete is uses to increase the strength and extend the life of concrete. Pre-stressed concrete strand is covered and bonded to concrete to create and study slab. This process is ideal in the construction of skyscrapers as they require an abundance of strength and stability.
