Research shows that combining silica fume, fly ash, and manufactured sand in concrete significantly boosts strength and enhances predictive modeling accuracy.

This study highlights how rubber powder and nano-silica improve concrete's freeze-thaw resistance, enhancing durability and sustainability in construction.

By contrast, materials that resist rapid fracture provide engineers with more time to detect damage and intervene before collapse occurs. Slowing or redirecting cracks can therefore improve structural ...

"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 Roman concrete has provided new clues to the evolving chemistry and mineral cements that allow ancient harbor structures to withstand the test of time. A new look ...
