The conversion of iron tailings, a mining solid waste, into conductive concrete aligns with green engineering and supports the development of intelligent construction materials. This study employed a ...

Recycled aggregate concrete engineering is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the utilisation of aggregates reclaimed from construction and demolition waste as partial or complete substitutes for ...

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 ...

Where a cantilevered concrete system may be a fairly common feature in today’s concrete buildings, a cantilevered concrete system that the majority of the building rests above draws some attention.

As the mostly widely used material on Earth, concrete has a massive carbon footprint that scientists are working to chip away at in all sorts of ways. Recent research projects have demonstrated how ...

Drexel University engineers have shown that a concrete mix designed to gently warm itself in cold weather can cut damaging freeze-thaw cycles outdoors, pointing to longer-lasting pavements for cold ...

When talking about building a better future, concrete is often maligned as an out-of-date material that is bad for the environment. But is it as simple as that? We recast the debate. It takes real ...
