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.
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this material has ...
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 ...
The reBENT project, developed by the Research Group 9 of the March 2019-20 Program of the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), explores the interactive relationship between augmented reality (AR) ...
As we look ahead to 2026, decorative concrete is entering a new era — driven by smarter materials, rising design expectations ...
They have created a 3D concrete bridge that absorbs CO2 like bones and uses 60% less material than a conventional bridge.
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 ...
Earn Your Structural Engineering Certificate in Bridge Design from One of the Nation's Most Respected Engineering Schools. Bridge structure design is a subset of civil engineering. Bridge structure ...
Cracking is a natural, expected, and accepted behavior of concrete. However, cracks may affect the appearance, function, durability, service life, or more seriously, the structural integrity of the ...
