On May 2, the ASTM announced that its composite materials committee (D30) had developed a “new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)” rebar. However, its ...

The electrons produced during this process are conducted through the metal whilst the ions formed are transported via the pore water which acts as the electrolyte. Concrete as an Environment The ...

Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...

If you’ve spent any time in the Italian countryside, you’ve likely seen them: skeletal, concrete structures that consist of little more than a couple floors suspended by columns, connected by a single ...
