Scientists: Reinforced Concrete Samples Too Small to Accurately Test Corrosion

Will reinforced concrete bridges still be standing for years to come, or has corrosion already set in? ETH scientists have discovered that previous concrete samples were too small to allow a reliable statement on the condition of reinforced concrete....


Scientists Discover New Way to Measure Concrete Strength

Using the principles of light, University of Leeds scientists have discovered a new way to measure the strength of modern forms of concrete—giving industry a better way to understand when it could fracture....


New Study: Concrete Construction Waste Can Help Decrease Pollution

New research reveals that sulfur dioxide, a major contributor to air pollution, is removed from the air by concrete surfaces. Stony Brook University researcher Alex Orlov, PhD, and colleagues discovered how concrete interacts and eliminates sulfur and nitrogen oxides....
