Cleaning up the construction material that is both building our way of life, while contributing to the CO2 emission problem.

Affordable, versatile, incredibly strong and locally available, concrete is the world’s most used manmade material. But it also has a huge carbon footprint, accounting for around 8% of global ...

The integration of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) and reinforced concrete (RC) has recently emerged as a promising strategy for developing hybrid structures. This study examines the flexural and ...

ETH Zurich researchers in Switzerland are using geometry to design concrete forms that cut pollution from builds with haste, according to a university news release. What's more, builders won't need a ...

Reflecting changing currents in engineering design and material availability, the American Concrete Institute has updated its 318 standard to ACI 318-25, with a new sustainability guide and updated ...

Using intricate geometry found in nature and refined through aerospace and biomedical design, scientists have now 3D-printed these forms into concrete to boost strength and capture carbon – creating a ...

Few cities test a building’s limits like Chicago. From frigid winters and scorching summers to lake-driven winds and dense urban conditions, it’s a proving ground for materials. That’s why architects, ...

Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...
