Architectural concrete as we know it today was invented in the 19th century. It reached new heights in the U.S. after World War II when mid-century modernism was in vogue, following in the footsteps ...

Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.

The doors could soon close on new construction of wood-framed homes. At least that is what many regulators are pushing to make happen. After decades of wood-framed houses being pummeled by wildfires, ...

Although we've recently been hearing about technologies that allow for the production of stronger concrete, existing structures made of regular concrete could also use some help. That's where new ...

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 ...

Kamal Khayat, seen here with a 3D printer in Missouri S&T University’s Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory, leads a team that won a $1.4-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

During the 2025 World of Concrete trade show, the Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI) teamed up with the American Concrete Institute to put together an updated set of post-tensioned structural concrete ...

Australia’s construction sector may be on the brink of a quiet revolution, one built from soil, water, and something most ...

The modern industrial era was literally built on steel and concrete, readily available materials that gave buildings the strength to stretch hundreds of stories into the sky. Unlike wood, steel and ...

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a technology whereby two robots can work in unison to 3-D-print a concrete structure. This method of ...
