As architecture continues to shift towards environmental sustainability, the demand for low-carbon materials is increasing exponentially in the construction industry – and the concrete sector is no ...

For centuries, engineers and historians have puzzled over one of the greatest mysteries of the ancient world. Why have Roman buildings survived earthquakes, storms and nearly two millennia of wear ...

The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) has announced the development of an effective structural strengthening method using a noncombustible carbon textile grid and ...

Concrete construction strategies can be material-intensive and labour-intensive and often rely on formwork that produces material waste. 3D printing (3DP) technologies could reduce the materials and ...

Matching canopy attachments to building construction types is critical for structural integrity and safety. The attachment method must align with the building’s materials to ensure weather resistance ...

Concrete, although the most common building material in the world, is brittle and can easily crack under tension.

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) ...

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) reuses aggregates from construction and demolition waste (CDW), reducing mining for natural sand and gravel and landfilling with CDW. Historically, concerns about the ...

Minnesota Zoo replaces a 50-year-old arrival area with a $14.2M outdoor plaza, exhibit space and waterfront restoration.

It's easy to confuse cement and concrete when talking about them, but they are two different materials serving very different ...

Formwork, the temporary or permanent molds used to hold wet concrete until it sets, is a crucial element in concrete construction. Just as important is selection of the right formwork, as it greatly ...
