Discover how mobile and modular batching plants are transforming on-site concrete production with faster setup, lower costs, ...
Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.
A newly excavated, ancient construction site at Pompeii, frozen in time after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, has allowed archaeologists to finally determine the methods used to make Roman concrete.
Humans began mixing crushed limestone with water to make cement over 2,000 years ago, and the material is still in use today as the main ingredient in concrete. Concrete is the second-most used ...
Affordable, versatile, incredibly strong and locally available, concrete is the world’s most used manmade material. But it also has a huge carbon footprint, accounting for around 8% of global ...
Imagine your building not just protecting you from the elements, but also storing electricity. MIT researchers just gave that idea a major push with a new version of "electron-conducting carbon ...
A team at RMIT University has created a cement-free construction material using only cardboard, soil, and water. Strong enough for low-rise buildings, it reduces emissions, costs, and waste compared ...
The order, which affects buildings like federal courthouses and agency headquarters, encourages classical styles rather than modernist aesthetics. By Zachary Small President Trump signed an executive ...
Reinforced concrete structures are physically heavy — and designing them can be just as weighty, burdened by a complex, code-heavy, time-consuming process that’s ...
Reflecting changing currents in engineering design and material availability, the American Concrete Institute has updated its 318 standard to ACI 318-25, with a new sustainability guide and updated ...
Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...
