Concrete homes are common worldwide but less familiar in the U.S., raising questions about their cost, construction, and long ...

Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.

Concrete is no longer just a niche material in residential construction. As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, the shortcomings of traditional wood-framed homes are being laid bare.

The latest 3D printing application? Forming concrete. That’s according to a team at ETH Zurich who claims that construction with foam forms cuts concrete usage up to 70%. It also offers improved ...

In hopes of producing concrete structures that can repair their cracks, researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are putting a new twist on an old trick for improving the durability ...

One of the ways the strength and durability of concrete can be improved is by incorporating tensioned steel tendons before it is cast, which can then be released to compress the material as it sets. A ...

There are many different footing form systems available, but the majority of them share a common thread: non-wood forms. With the concrete industry moving in the "green" direction, and with an ...

As architecture continues to shift towards environmental sustainability, the demand for low-carbon materials is increasing exponentially in the construction industry – and the concrete sector is no ...

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 ...

We're standing at a crossroads where every ton of cement we pour matters more than ever. 56 billion metric tons of carbon ...

At its nuclear fission technology demonstration facility, one of Kairos Power’s goals is to accelerate nuclear plant construction. In a first project with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Kairos ...
