How long it takes to construct a building depends in large part on when the concrete of each floor is strong enough to take on loads. Purdue University engineers have developed sensors that could ...
If structural engineers have their way, building codes will take a leap forward in the next couple of years to allow the use of higher-strength 80-ksi reinforcing steel in concrete shear walls in high ...
Concrete has quietly become one of the planet’s biggest climate problems, yet the material itself has barely changed in a ...
Concrete suppliers and contractors are sometimes accused of producing or placing low-strength concrete. While low-strength concrete does occasionally occur, many times reported cylinder strengths are ...
Recent study reveals machine learning's potential in predicting the strength of carbonated recycled concrete, paving the way ...
The iCrete system means that there is less reliance on reinforced steel. In addition, at Freedom Tower, the project was actually able to reduce the total amount of cement used as well. In designing ...
AMES, Iowa – Grant Schmitz, eyes inches from a 6.5-by-12-foot panel of ultra-high performance concrete, studied the smooth surface for tiny cracks. He and other research engineers carefully marked ...
