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 ...

Concrete suppliers and contractors are sometimes accused of producing or placing low-strength concrete. While low-strength concrete does occasionally occur, many times reported cylinder strengths ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 globe. But while it’s known for ...

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 ...
