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

Recent study reveals machine learning's potential in predicting the strength of carbonated recycled concrete, paving the way ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Committee on Materials and Pavements approves Purdue-invented method as a national standard for estimating concrete strength WEST ...

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 ...

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) ...
