Concrete is an integral part of any construction project, whether you are building roads, a a ground floor in your private home, or a power plant. This is because concrete is very durable, but it can ...

Concrete is a very durable material. Fine examples of its first structural use by the Romans are still standing, and concrete is now probably the most widely used building material in the world.

Peak 10’s 60,166-square-foot purpose-built, multistory data center facility in North Tampa, Fla., U.S., was fabricated using Metromont’s C-GRID-reinforced insulated precast concrete panels for high ...

Concrete is a mix of cement, an aggregate such as gravel, and water. For added strength, steel fibers are often added. Now, scientists are claiming that a new type of fiber-reinforced concrete could ...

This month marks Brownstoner’s Steel Anniversary. We’re taking some time to look back at our past, even as we design a new future. Imagine living in the far future, able to look back in time and watch ...

In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, construction materials such as steel—a necessary material for use in traditional concrete applications—have been significantly impacted by price increases ...

When adding steel fibers the size of a clip, concrete is less prone to cracking, an engineer demonstrates. What the study shows is that this material has certain advantages over conventional ...

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 flatwork ...
