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.
Faculty members from the University of Miami's College of Engineering and Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science were recently awarded a pair of grants from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, to explore novel ways to fortify structures that border our coastline.
A paper recently published in the journal Additive Manufacturing demonstrated topology optimization (TO) of three-dimensional (3D) printed concrete for construction.
A new 6,000-pound industrial robot at Cornell University can 3D print the kind of large-scale structures that could transform the construction industry, making it more efficient and sustainable by eliminating the waste of traditional material manufacturing.
