What is new is that as the headwall was printed, a lidar unit made precise scans of the structure, building up a digital virtual twin against which the real thing can be compared. Also, wireless ...

3D-printed concrete structures are claimed to be faster and cheaper to build than their traditional counterparts, but they're not always as strong. That problem may soon be solved by adding a pinch of ...

Researchers around the world are working to find ways to make concrete greener, including at the University of Pennsylvania.

Yes, mollusks. Mollusks have a special composite material lining their inner shell, known as “nacre.” Nacre, also known as ...

Slow but steady growth in the use of 3D-printed concrete in construction brings in new firms and users, as the nascent industry finds the right market niches for a continually evolving technology As ...

Archaeologists at a Pompeii site buried by the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius have uncovered evidence of ancient Roman concrete technology that could heal itself over time.

Wavelogix has announced the launch of the REBEL Concrete Strength Sensing System. The sensor’s patented technology uses piezoelectric technology and an AI-guided signal processing algorithm. The REBEL ...

As architecture continues to shift towards environmental sustainability, the demand for low-carbon materials is increasing exponentially in the construction industry – and the concrete sector is no ...

Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are looking to nature for solutions to one of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) ongoing challenges: fortifying aging concrete structures.
