A new building material developed by engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute could change how the world builds. Made using an enzyme that turns carbon dioxide into solid minerals, the material ...

A Triad maker of a key component of big concrete construction projects says its outlook is rosier than many forecasters. Here ...

By shifting critical construction activities to a controlled environment, precast concrete minimizes on-site variability, ...

What can we learn from a Pompeii construction site preserved in ash? Plus, tech companies look to build solar-powered data ...

Bad vibrations ...

Archaeologists excavating a Pompeii site uncovered the secret behind the longevity of ancient Roman structures: a unique concrete mixture that could chemically repair itself over time. A recent study, ...

Along with its many other innovations, the Roman Empire revolutionized architecture with never-before-seen features, such as large-scale arches and dome roofs. And many of these structures still stand ...

Back in 2023, we reported on MIT scientists’ conclusion that the ancient Romans employed “hot mixing” with quicklime, among other strategies, to make their famous concrete, giving the material ...

This work presents an interactive graphics computational tool for the verification of prestressed concrete beams with post-tensioned bonded tendons to the serviceability limit state (SLS) stress check ...

Prestressed concrete doesn’t make structures stronger - it makes them smarter. This video explains how pre-tensioned and post-tensioned systems reduce cracking, minimize deflection, and keep bridges ...
