In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...

Concrete may seem strong and permanent, but it can be surprisingly vulnerable to the elements. Now researchers at Drexel University have demonstrated a type of self-healing concrete embedded with ...

Some say there are two types of concrete – cracked and on the brink of cracking. But what if when concrete cracked, it could heal itself? Picture a bridge exposed to snow, rain, temperature changes ...

Bangladesh is in the midst of a remarkable urban transformation. From the capital of Dhaka to emerging cityscapes across the nation, construction is the drumbeat of progress. Yet, this rapid growth ...

As infrastructure ages and deteriorates over time, the development of self-healing concrete could provide a more sustainable solution by reducing the need for repairs and maintenance. Researchers at ...

Integrating self-healing and sustainable materials into infrastructure and vehicle manufacturing could set the tone for other sectors to follow suit, promoting environmental awareness, safety, and ...

We could soon have roads and highways that require fewer repairs and even help reduce carbon emissions. According to new research, scientists have developed an AI-designed concrete that is ...

It's no secret that roads across the U.S. tend to crumble or form potholes, but there are innovative minds at work at Michigan State University. Students may have found a solution, with the invention ...

New agreement expands access to award-winning, bio-based concrete technology nationwide, with exclusive coverage across ...

A more durable concrete that will increase the average lifespan of bridge decks by more than 20 years compared to typical high-strength concrete, and by more than 40 years compared to normal-strength ...
