Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most ...

Concrete created by two University of Nebraska professors can be heated to melt snow and ice without chemicals or mechanical clearing. Acceptance has been slow since it was developed and successfully ...

MIT scientists examined concrete samples from the archaeological site of Privernum, Italy (left) and mapped out the ingredients within (right). The red section is a calcium-rich lime clast. Courtesy ...

It's tempting to think of "strength" as a simple variable and that various materials all fall somewhere on a spectrum of strong to weak. The reality, of course, is much more complex. Different ...

image: Concrete is the most important building material on Earth, but its production causes a MASSIVE amount of global carbon emissions. Join George as he discovers how a surprising discovery in 1973 ...

The 3D-printed concrete barracks requires a crew of only three trained workers during construction, though for continuous printing, about three shifts of crews are required to avoid burnout. Photo by ...

As infrastructure ages and deteriorates over time, the development of self-healing concrete could provide a more sustainable solution by reducing the need for repairs and maintenance. Researchers at ...

As Earth’s climate continues to warm, researchers around the globe are exploring ways to capture CO 2 from the air and store it deep underground. The method transforms CO2 into valuable, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Concrete structures of the past weren’t built to withstand the fury of an earthquake but a groundbreaking solution from engineers at Purdue University could change that. A ...

Two hundred and fifty pounds of concrete won’t float just any boat. During an open house at the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation on Friday, six fourth-year civil engineering students showed ...

It’s a most unlikely habitat and really has no creature comforts to recommend it. But University of Delaware researcher Julie Maresca and students in her lab are studying concrete and the life that ...

A group of UCLA engineers has become the first university team to win the grand prize in the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE global competition. By mitigating the carbon footprint of concrete, the team’s ...
