This study highlights how rubber powder and nano-silica improve concrete's freeze-thaw resistance, enhancing durability and sustainability in construction.
High-performance concrete with recycled aggregates maintains structural strength, promoting resource-efficient construction and reducing environmental impact.
"When researchers think of nanomaterial reinforcements for concrete, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) come as first option," Andres Ayuela, a research scientist at the Centro de Física de Materiales in San ...
MIT engineers say they have increased the energy density of their carbon-cement supercapacitor system by roughly tenfold, ...
A new look inside 2,000-year-old concrete - made from volcanic ash, lime (the product of baked limestone), and seawater - has provided new clues to the evolving chemistry and mineral cements that ...
In a new study, Princeton engineers have unlocked the secret to creating cement that is 17 times tougher than conventional materials. Inspired by the unique properties of oyster shells, this ...
