Current materials engineering trends put forward the development of efficient structural solutions. The steel replacement with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) exemplifies the key to the corrosion ...

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) reuses aggregates from construction and demolition waste (CDW), reducing mining for natural sand and gravel and landfilling with CDW. Historically, concerns about the ...

While concrete might be seen as a fairly basic, utilitarian material today, it was a part of several trendy home design ...

As architecture continues to shift towards environmental sustainability, the demand for low-carbon materials is increasing exponentially in the construction industry – and the concrete sector is no ...

The reBENT project, developed by the Research Group 9 of the March 2019-20 Program of the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), explores the interactive relationship between augmented reality (AR) ...

Formwork, the temporary or permanent molds used to hold wet concrete until it sets, is a crucial element in concrete construction. Just as important is selection of the right formwork, as it greatly ...

Training and certification of concrete construction personnel, especially certification through the American Concrete Institute (ACI), is on the rise. Many local, state, national, and international ...
