A wood-based material that can store and release heat could help keep building temperatures comfortable without using ...

The fully robotic car plant that once sounded like science fiction is now a concrete industrial goal, with analysts expecting the first facility where machines build entire vehicles with no human on ...

Masoud Akbarzadeh (left), a professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, is working with students to design concrete structures that use as little concrete as possible while remaining ...

A mix design procedure for high-performance concrete mixes has been presented in this paper. Since rheological parameters and compressive strength are fundamental properties of concrete in two ...

We all know concrete is a top construction material known for its compressive strength and durability. But over time, even the strongest placements can be affected by outside factors, like seismic ...

Scientists in Singapore have found a way for concrete to absorb CO2 instead of emitting it. Could this invention finally make construction part of the climate solution? I nearly skipped past the press ...

Skyscrapers, highways, and the endless churn of traffic define much of modern city living. Yet for millions of people, the very environments built to fuel economic growth are also fueling chronic ...

Reinforced concrete structures are physically heavy — and designing them can be just as weighty, burdened by a complex, code-heavy, time-consuming process that’s ...
