Bonded ice just requires better tools and a little patience. Hit it with heat, chemistry, or hard steel, and you’ll break it ...

Scientists at Egypt's Mansoura University are developing an alternative concrete mix that puts to use quarry waste and discarded tires.

A small dose of antifreeze agent dramatically improves frost resistance in recycled concrete, reshaping sustainable ...

A new academic review dissects how 3D printed concrete behaves in earthquakes and where the technology must improve to earn code approval.

Masoud Akbarzadeh (left), a professor of architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, is working with students to design concrete structures that use as little concrete as possible while remaining ...

Of all the possible applications of generative AI, the value proposition of using it to write code was perhaps the clearest. Coding can be slow and it requires expertise, both of which can be ...

A new IoT-ANN framework provides civil engineers with a real-time, non-destructive method for monitoring concrete strength, reducing waste, accelerating timelines, and building smarter from the outset ...

I don’t typically write responses to other opinion pieces, but there was one two weeks ago about new techniques in elementary math education that has inspired me. The main complaint was that there are ...

Concrete is the world's most manufactured item, with more than 25 billion tons used in construction each year. It's also responsible for consuming vast quantities of non-renewable resources, and ...

Wei Zhai receives funding from National Science Foundation. When city leaders talk about making a town “smart,” they’re usually talking about urban digital twins. These are essentially high-tech, 3D ...

As generative AI plays an increasingly prominent role in our lives—at work as well as at home—we’d all do well to develop our own nuanced viewpoints about the technology. Over the past three years in ...
