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 ...

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t strong. Although concrete has good compression strength, the tensile strength is quite poor. Around the late 1800s, someone thought to fortify spans of concrete ...

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 ...

In their Sept. 30 announcement, the team members told a news conference that their type of concrete meets the strength criteria specified by the Building Standards Law. The researchers are now ...
