Concrete and the cement that binds it is the most commonly used material in the world and the demand for it is growing. Unfortunately for the environment, the product is also very energy-intensive to ...

Much has been said about circularity in the construction industry. Inspired by nature, the circular economy works in a continuous process of production, resorption and recycling, self-managing and ...

Results of a new five-year study of recycled concrete show that it performs as well, and in several cases even better, than conventional concrete. Researchers conducted side-by-side comparisons of ...

A recent study published in Engineering titled “Strategies to Improve the Life Cycle Net CO₂ Benefit of Recycled Aggregate Concrete” offers valuable insights into enhancing the environmental ...

Research shows treating recycled concrete with magnetized water and nano-silica boosts compressive strength by 14% and enhances durability against acid rain.

Scientists studied a method for recycling unused concrete with wood fibers. They found the conditions that produce new building materials with bending strength even greater than the original concrete.

Having been utilized as early as the Roman era in buildings of almost every scale, it is almost impossible to think of a building that does not have at least one concrete element. In fact, it is the ...

As the concrete industry evolves under the dual pressures of climate responsibility and resource scarcity, a new paradigm has emerged — one that prioritizes sustainability not as an afterthought but ...
