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.

The American Concrete Institute has released the new ACI Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook as a three-volume handbook providing guidance to professionals engaged in the design of reinforced concrete ...

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 ...

Concrete, steel, and composites are being reengineered to meet the demands of modern marine environments and sustainable design.

What is new is that as the headwall was printed, a lidar unit made precise scans of the structure, building up a digital virtual twin against which the real thing can be compared. Also, wireless ...

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 ...

Concrete, second only to water, is the most consumed material worldwide due to its structural strength, ease of handling, and versatility. Comprised of cement, sand, gravel, and water, it is ...

Nearly a decade ago, early in conceptual design for the 230,000-sq-ft infill addition to the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, talks with potential contractors made it apparent that ...

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 ...

After more than 100 gate docking and undocking operations across more than 45 years, Concrete Tech Corp.’s Tacoma dry dock was in need of a replacement caisson gate, a 150-ft-long floating concrete ...
