When a test result falls outside of the specified limits or other specification requirements aren’t met, engineers typically have three options for dealing with such non-compliance issues: Remove and ...

Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...

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 ...

Sampyo Industries announced on the 13th that it has jointly developed a ‘Seasonal Special Concrete’ with Hyundai Engineering ...

Curious if Roman concrete is really better than the stuff we use today? Dive into this showdown between ancient and modern engineering. We break down the secrets of durability, strength, and chemistry ...

An increasing number of U.S. interstates are set to try out a Purdue University invention that could save millions of taxpayer dollars and significantly reduce traffic delays. The invention, a sensor ...
