According to the American Concrete Institute CT-18, fiber-reinforced concrete is a concrete mixture that is reinforced with dispersed, randomly orientated fibers. These fibers can be used in lieu of ...

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this material has ...

With concrete the most utilized construction material on Earth, the drive to find more efficient methods drives engineering and architecture researchers worldwide forward. According to an announcement ...

The iCrete system means that there is less reliance on reinforced steel. In addition, at Freedom Tower, the project was actually able to reduce the total amount of cement used as well. In designing ...

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, but its production is a significant source of carbon emissions due to the energy-intensive process of cement manufacturing. As the ...

Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...
