Concrete cracks are no small matter. Over time, these fractures can grow, letting in water, gas, and pollution.

Polypropylene fiber is stemmed from polycarbonate polyolefin polymers, understood for their high chemical resistance, low ...

Five cutting-edge advances in concrete technology that are shaping a more sustainable and efficient future in construction.

To determine the level of self-healing, the flow through the crack was measured with time to obtain the sealing time. Fly ash percentages of 20%, 30% and 40% were tested along with a 0% fly ash mix.

Concrete slab costs can vary depending on size, detailed specs, labor hired out, and material prices at the time of building. We are owner builders so we were able to save lot of money by doing ...

Ion-conductive hydrogels (ICHs), combining electrical properties with the mechanical flexibility of tissue-like materials, represent ideal materials for flexible sensor applications. However, the ...

3D printing has emerged as a highly accurate, highly customizable, and low-cost fabrication method to realize structures with designed geometry. However, the integral printing of complex structures, ...

Case Study: Self-Healing Concrete Projects in the Netherlands and Beyond. A pioneering example of microbial-assisted self-healing can be found at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.

Potholes do more than slow us down, they're also a drag on the economy. Municipalities are spending millions more than they ...

Self-healing concrete (SHC) is obtained with self-healing agents, which can seal small cracks without additional repair works, improving concrete durability. The present paper studied the influence of ...

New recyclable, self-healing circuit board could solve world’s e-waste crisis. The board can be readily recycled, it can also heal itself and be reshaped. Updated: Jun 03, 2025 09:04 AM EST. 1.
