Reliable in-situ strength information is critical for construction-stage decisions, yet conventional UPV–UCS correlations are typically established on companion cylinders, which may overestimate the ...

In an innovative study, researchers have explored the use of human hair waste to boost the mechanical properties of concrete.

When people hear the term “slump,” most think about posture; think of concrete slump as "concrete posture." In technical terms, slump is a measured indication of the workability, or flow, of a mix.

Researchers have created a concrete mixture that is both stronger and capable of absorbing carbon dioxide. The best formula, ...

Some basic NDT techniques utilized to assess concrete structures include:Once concrete has hardened, it is important to determine whether the final structure is suitable for its designated use. To do ...

Concrete is the most used construction material in the whole world. More than that, behind water, it’s the most used material, all categories combined. Worldwide, about 10 billion tons of concrete are ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

Not all damage to a load-bearing structure is immediately apparent. So how do civil engineers find out that a bridge or a large hall is no longer safe? Many clues form a picture. Concrete structures ...

Maturity and compressive strength of concrete is tested through both destructive and non-destructive methods. Destructive test involve damaging some of an element or the structure. Some would like to ...
