Princeton researchers believe seashells might just hold the key to stronger concrete.

Carbon fiber-reinforced concrete improves mechanical properties and durability, making it ideal for protecting underground ...

If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...

AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

The 190-ft-tall Brock Commons Tallwood House at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, is the tallest mass-timber frame in the Western Hemisphere. In the U.S., Brock, which has ...

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...

There are three primary objectives for cold weather concreting: 1) protect the newly placed concrete from early-age freezing, 2) protect concrete to ensure adequate strength development, and 3) ...

Heijmans and climate tech company Paebbl have unveiled what they say is the world’s ...
