Concrete, although the most common building material in the world, is brittle and can easily crack under tension.

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 ...

Underground engineering faces persistent challenges associated with high concrete consumption, considerable carbon emissions from traditional support ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Each time Mija Hubler drives through Denver, she notices bridges patched with concrete and thinks about how these structures might fail. Hubler, an associate professor in CU Boulder’s Department of ...

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 ...
