Northwestern University scientists have developed a new carbon-negative building material. As Earth's climate continues to ...

After the concrete floor hardens, these unmixed pockets of material might not show themselves for years. But over time, changing temperatures and seasonal expansion and contraction can loosen the ...

These materials and methods are both time-consuming ... Unfortunately, control joints create significant challenges in concrete floor slabs subjected to repetitive use and heavy loads.

If the material and old adhesive are not removed ... A rule of thumb to keep in mind is: Hard concrete floors and coverings (such as epoxy), need a softer bonded metal tool. A harder bonded ...

To make concrete, limestone, or calcium carbonate, is mixed with clay and other materials and then calcined at high temperatures, so CO2 is released via the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate.

Material could replace sand in concrete and be used in other construction ... coasts and the ocean floor. In collaboration with Cemex, we have devised an alternative approach to source sand ...
