Concrete is the most used construction material in the whole world. More than that, behind water, it’s the most used material, all categories combined. Worldwide, about 10 billion tons of concrete are ...

So that it may be certain that a concrete specimen’s mechanical properties reach the strength and deflection imperatives for its intended use, concrete specimens with specific dimensions are prepared, ...

In a recent breakthrough, researchers have introduced a game-changing technology in the field of concrete manufacturing. A paper published in Engineering details the development and potential of ...

When choosing a method for monitoring the compressive strength of concrete, it’s important for project managers to consider the impact each technique will have on their schedule. While some testing ...

A recent article published in Engineering introduced green compression-casting for fabricating reinforced concrete structures. The article examined the effects of various inferior concrete materials, ...

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...

New research explores sustainable concrete, AI-driven steel manufacturing, hemp manufacturing, and robotic construction.

In my previous column, I discussed the influence of column buckling of the composite material test specimen on its measured compressive strength (see "Buckling of composite material compression ...
