A Chinese construction company brings a revolution to the global building and construction industry, introducing a pioneering building philosophy, based on recycled building materials and a giant 3D printer. Read more on this new building technique that promises drastic reductions in cost, building time and required labour! 

Bluetooth wireless monitoring can be used to monitor concrete's maturity on-site.

Engineers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have come up with a way to prevent concrete spalling caused by excessive temperature built up during a tunnel fire. The new technology consists of fibers added in the concrete but the changes in concrete behavior remain still to be investigated.

They used the principle of plant photosynthesis to create energy

MIT students have found a way to produce plastic-reinforced concrete that is up to 15% stronger than conventional concrete, by adding irradiated bits of plastic water bottles

Wood presents a lot of benefits as a building material because it is strong, lightweight and environmental friendly. However, only changes in building codes will make wood competitive with steel and concrete.

A group of German researchers has found a way to manipulate construction waste by turning them into new materials.

In a new study, researchers have developed a method to improve concrete's performance when subjected to fire using recycled fibers from tires.

Electrically conductive concrete could melt snow on roads without chemicals!

A group of scientists examines the possibility of using materials from demolitions for the construction of new buildings
