Infrastructure and industrial facilities operating in extreme environments confront material challenges that conventional concrete struggles to overcome. Mining operations expose concrete to continuous abrasive particle impact, chemical attacks from ore processing byproducts, and moisture conditions promoting rapid deterioration. Tunnels...

Researchers at Oregon State University have gone ahead and developed a quick-setting and environmentally friendly option to concrete which is a new clay-based material and which they hope can one day be made use of so as to 3D...

Large-scale concrete slab construction has long relied on manual finishing labor, a physically demanding and skill-dependent process vulnerable to inconsistent results across expansive surfaces. Workers wielding power trowels and screeds spend extended shifts applying uniform pressure and achieving flatness...

In one of the recent studies that was published in the Scientific Reports, researchers have gone on to report a breakthrough in terms of predicting the compressive strength of concrete incorporating the rice husk ash – RHA by combining...

The construction industry confronts an uncomfortable truth: traditional concrete production, dominated by ordinary Portland cement manufacturing, generates approximately two billion tons of carbon dioxide annually, representing roughly 8 percent of global emissions. Each ton of Portland cement produced releases...

Nature’s engineering solutions, refined through millions of years of evolution, offer profound lessons for human innovation. Biological systems demonstrate remarkable capabilities that manufactured materials struggle to replicate: self-repair following damage, adaptation to environmental conditions, efficient use of resources, and...

Global housing demand escalates at unprecedented rates, driven by population growth, urbanization, and evolving living standards. The World Economic Forum estimates humanity requires two billion new homes over the next 80 years, while housing shortages plague even wealthy nations...
