Owing to its exceptional properties, concrete is one of the most extensively used materials for construction. The creation of building elements using concrete involves pouring it into specially ...

The precast and prefabricated elements made of concrete (such as slabs, pillars, beams and walls) are part of the constructive process known as modular construction. A construction methodology carried ...

Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help concrete absorb more of its carbon emissions over time by making it more porous.

In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...

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 ...

Each time Mija Hubler drives through Denver, she notices bridges patched with concrete and thinks about how these structures might fail. Hubler, an associate professor in CU Boulder’s Department of ...

Large concrete structures need to be regularly tested for defects that may compromise their stability. While acoustic tests performed by certified inspectors are usually the inspection method of ...

Slow but steady growth in the use of 3D-printed concrete in construction brings in new firms and users, as the nascent industry finds the right market niches for a continually evolving technology As ...
