A new study by The University of South Australia has tested and verified the structural integrity of walls constructed from tyres packed with earth, with the results potentially providing new opportunities for the reuse of end-of-life tyres in the construction industry.
A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Additive Manufacturing that demonstrated the changes in the behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) prepared using the three-dimensional (3D) printing technology after elevated temperatures in the context of building safety.
Writing in the journal Construction and Building Materials, a team of scientists from China, the USA, and the UK have proposed a novel approach to creating smart cement.
A group of researchers recently published a paper in the journal Polymers that reviewed the recent developments in radiation-shielding concrete (RSC) in terms of materials used in the concrete and its properties, specifically radiation shielding properties.
Buildings made of porous rock can weather over the years. Now, for the first time, scientists at TU Wien (Vienna) have studied in detail how silicate nanoparticles can help save them.
Wood as a building material has deep roots in the cultural memory of many regions. A study by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now shows how much future building with wood opens up.
Global cement production accounts for 7% of annual greenhouse gas emissions in large part through the burning of quarried limestone.
