Archaeologists working at an excavation site in Pompeii have uncovered new evidence that helps explain why ancient Roman buildings have lasted for thousands of years. The discovery points to a special ...

A new material made of seawater, carbon dioxide, and electricity could give the construction industry a much-needed climate upgrade. Developed by researchers at Northwestern University, the paste-like ...

At its core, concrete construction hasn’t changed much. If you excavate deep enough to the core of the work, there isn’t much of a difference between the concrete contractors do today versus what was ...

Concrete remains the cornerstone of modern infrastructure, blending robustness with versatility to meet diverse construction needs. Recent advances in concrete technology focus on enhancing mechanical ...

Concrete can be unpredictable and change from good to bad at the drop of a hat. Concrete is perishable, therefore, the way that you treat the product before use is crucial to its future quality.

As the construction industry faces mounting pressure to reduce its environmental impact, Green Crete Technologies, based in Indianapolis, is at the forefront of delivering innovative solutions that ...

The new brick can be manufactured with a high density, compressive strength, tensile strength and Young's modulus (the ability to withstand changes under lengthwise compression). Researchers led by a ...

What can concrete made during the Roman Empire help modern engineering develop more efficient concrete? This is what a recent study published in iScience hopes to address as an international team of ...
