The study found that many municipalities in Ontario have policies that prohibit or limit the use of recycled aggregate.
Memory alloys, which can be flexed without experiencing permanent damage, can maintain a bridge’s structural integrity and significantly reduce repair costs after a seismic event.
The material works at the laboratory scale, and the researchers are beginning to conduct real-world tests on pavement applications.
The protection curing material works by absorbing water that exists within the concrete to form crystals. Whenever the crystals are formed they line the pores of the concrete, allowing it to breath.
Being called eco-friendly ductile cementitious composite (EDCC), the material is engineered at the molecular scale to be strong, malleable, and ductile.
StructureScan Pro is ideal for locating rebar, post-tension cables, and conduits.
Adding tire fibre to concrete could shrink the tire industry’s carbon footprint and also reduce the construction industry’s emissions.
Graphic Concrete is a patented technology that has been used in projects across Europe, the Nordics and Australia.
It offers a higher R-value per inch than commonly used insulation and is designed to enable thinner wall assemblies to maximize building space.
Company’s unique concrete manufacturing process recognized for second straight year.
Scientists at Rice University are studying atomic-level computer analysis to better understand the internal structure of cement, leading to the ability to make concrete stronger and better able to deform without cracking under stress.
