Nov. 1, 2023 Liquefied stabilized soil (LSS) is made with construction waste and used for filling and backfilling long, confined spaces where traditional compaction is difficult. Using LSS helps speed up ...
Oct. 25, 2024 Researchers have created a graphene-enhanced, 3D-printable concrete that improves strength and reduces carbon emissions by 31%, advancing sustainable ...
Feb. 23, 2024 Researchers are revisiting old building practices -- the use of by-products and cast-offs -- as a way to improve building materials and sustainability of the trade. A technique known as rammed earth ...
Apr. 24, 2025 An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work ...
Mar. 15, 2023 The Notre-Dame de Paris is the first known cathedral of Gothic-style architecture to be initially constructed with extensive use of iron to bind stones together. The 2019 fire that significantly ...
Mar. 21, 2023 New research introduces metamaterial concrete for the development of smart civil infrastructure systems. Researchers present a new concept for lightweight and mechanically-tunable concrete systems ...
Nov. 22, 2023 Researchers taught an autonomous excavator to construct dry stone walls itself using boulders weighing several tons and demolition ...
Sep. 16, 2024 Researchers used robotics and additive manufacturing to toughen cement-based material with precisely placed hollow tubes. The result is more than 5 times tougher than ...
Aug. 1, 2022 Firing bricks and making mortar and cement is very costly, but organic chemists are working on more sustainable alternatives -- focusing on building materials made from waste products. In another ...
Oct. 7, 2022 An international research group is building a case for more sustainable concrete by replacing synthetic reinforcement materials with natural fibers and materials from difference waste streams. The ...
