Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic. Concrete ...

In a world where concrete is as ubiquitous as air, its environmental toll is impossible to ignore. The production of cement, ...

In a recent article published in the journal Results in Engineering, researchers proposed a novel deep-learning model to predict the compressive strength of slag-ash-based geopolymer concrete ...

protect concrete to ensure adequate strength development, and 3) protect concrete from thermal shock and cracking at the end of the protection period. According to ACI 306 Guide to Cold Weather ...

Previously unused waste from the coffee brewing process can boost the strength of concrete by nearly 30%. This discovery, reported by The Guardian, was detailed in the Journal of Cleaner Production.

Concrete is the foundation—literally —of modern construction, making it the most commonly used building material across the ...

Greater strength means less of the stuff would be needed to construct walls and other structures. That’s significant since making cement — concrete’s principal ingredient — accounts for 5 ...

Although this new Oxford house extension is relatively small, it makes a substantial impact. Crafted from concrete, drawing inspiration from some of the most celebrated modernist architecture ...

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is an enhanced fibrous and cementitious concrete with high compressive strength (120–250 MPa) particle packing density (0.825–0.855, tensile strength (15–20 MPa) ...
