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 ...
New research shows Roman concrete relied on heat-driven mixing and reactive lime, giving it a surprising self-healing ability.
When bridges, dam walls and other structures made of concrete are streaked with dark cracks after a few decades, the culprit is AAR: the alkali-aggregate reaction. AAR damages concrete structures all ...
Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Engineering are looking to nature for solutions to one of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) ongoing challenges: fortifying aging concrete structures.
New research shows Roman concrete relied on heat-driven mixing and reactive lime, giving it a surprising self-healing ability ...
Neglect a modern concrete structure for a few decades and it’ll start to fall apart – and yet, structures built by the ancient Romans are still standing strong after 2,000 years. Now, engineers have ...
