Translucent Concrete: The Future of Sustainable Architecture
Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world. In recent years, researchers and manufacturers have collaborated to develop various types of concrete to enhance the quality and economic value of construction. Among these innovations, translucent concrete has…
RMIT Researchers Develop Revolutionary Long-Life Low-Carbon Concrete Using 80% Coal Ash
Researchers at RMIT have pioneered a new form of “green concrete” that significantly enhances the use of recycled coal ash, substituting it for 80% of the cement typically used in concrete production. This innovative approach not only halves the amount…
Greener Concrete: Pioneering Efforts in the Pacific Northwest
Concrete, a fundamental construction material, contributes significantly to carbon emissions, with 8% of man-made carbon emissions originating from its production. In the Pacific Northwest, particularly in Washington state, innovators are working to revolutionize concrete production methods, aiming to reduce its…
Irritated with white marks on concrete? Understand & Address Efflorescence in Concrete effectively
Efflorescence in concrete manifests as a white powdery substance on unsealed concrete surfaces and as a white blush on sealed floors. It occurs when vapor permeates through the concrete, carrying soluble salts to the surface. Typically, efflorescence naturally wears off…
Complete details about Honeycomb in Concrete: Causes, Types, Consequences and How to avoid this
Honeycomb in concrete refers to the presence of cavities and voids on the surface or within the concrete structure. The term “ho[neycomb” is aptly used because the pattern resembles that of a bee nest. Surface honeycomb becomes apparent when the…
