Concrete is the world’s most widely-used building material thanks to its incredible strength – but it doesn’t stand up well against bending. Now, researchers at Swinburne University have developed a ...

Bendable concrete created at the University of Michigan allows for thinner structures with less need for steel reinforcement. Joseph Xu/University of Michigan College of Engineering One of the big ...

Lots of people probably think that cement and concrete are the same thing. Cement is a component in concrete that some researchers are trying to eliminate. Researchers from the Swinburne University of ...

Concrete is a cornerstone of modern construction, but its inherent flaws pose significant challenges for construction companies—and environmentalists alike. Now, though, engineers have developed a new ...

Scientists have created not just a new bendable concrete, but the concrete itself is cement-free which reduces its environmental footprint -- good all round stuff right here, folks. Researchers out of ...

Of all the words that describe concrete, “bendy” probably isn’t one that immediately springs to mind. But that could very well change in the near future, thanks to the work of researchers at Swinburne ...

Researchers at The University of New Mexico (UNM) have achieved a major milestone in construction innovation by patenting a bendable concrete material designed for 3D printing. Armed with a 3D ...

As with many other products and processes, biomimicry (learning and imitating the processes of nature) is transforming the world of concrete. Although in the early stages of being applied, concrete ...

Researchers are examining carbon emissions from using concrete in construction and its resulting effects on the environment. Engineers are developing concrete infused with carbon dioxide to make it ...

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The use of concrete is firmly cemented in human history with structural uses going back to ancient times. A research team is taking that ancient material into the future by ...

Scientists at the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne have developed a new process that could one day allow bendable concrete to go mainstream. It could also lower the carbon footprint ...
