As the demand for more sustainable construction grows and raw material shortages like steel continue to be a challenge, fiber-reinforced concrete has become an increasingly popular choice for ...
Scientists design machine learning models that can say when and why concrete structures start cracking and deteriorating.
Here is what we know so far about the crumbling concrete material at the centre of all this. Reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) is a lightweight material that was used mostly in flat ...
Fibre-reinforced concrete has been successfully deployed in numerous projects globally as well as locally, highlighting both ...
Concrete contractors are increasingly turning to GFRP (glass-fiber reinforced polymer) products as the building material of choice for concrete structures. GFRP products are 1/4 the weight of ...
This bio-inspired cement paste also has the potential to replace plastic and fiber-reinforced cement-based materials.
For example, reinforced concrete can be broken up using machinery. This is one stage in recycling the components of reinforced concrete.
