Cement is a carbon monster — but scientists are taking a cue from seashells to make it tougher, safer, and greener.

Researchers have found a way to take waste concrete from demolition sites and turn it into fresh new concrete that has a strength not seen before from such a product. The breakthrough could lead to ...

As part of a series featuring women in the concrete industry, Concrete Contractor has queried a few individuals to represent ...

It can be seen that the spread in local w/c ratio is higher in concretes compared to pastes. This is due to bleeding effects and presence of aggregates that increases the heterogeneity of the concrete ...

Abstract: This study focuses on the effect of different microstructures on the thermal and mechanical behaviors of porous concrete impregnated with phase change materials ... which were due to changes ...

If deployed alongside other emerging alternatives, this new approach could reduce the industry’s emissions by up to 61%, far ...

I was working with cement hydration and microstructure at that point, and I became increasingly interested in concrete at all scales when I joined the University of Texas at Austin. There are so ...

Researchers at the University of São Paulo and Princeton demonstrated that mixtures containing up to 80 percent of recycled ...

Engineers have developed an approach for recycling cement waste into a sustainable, low-carbon alternative that is comparable in performance to the industry standard.
