Researchers have boosted concrete strength by nearly 60 % using a mix of graphene oxide and steel fibers. This could be a non-destructive way to improve durability in modern construction. Image Credit ...
Measuring the in-situ compressive strength of concrete in final structures is an essential but challenging process. Coring combined with non-destructive rebound hammer measurements provides the most ...
Concrete is an essential construction material that is used globally. Combining coring and rebound surveys provides the most efficient and cost-effective method of assessing in situ concrete strength, ...
Currently, the rebound hammer is widely used for estimation of compressive strength of concrete as general testing method. Although rebound hammer has made great contribution for compressive strength ...
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Committee on Materials and Pavements approves Purdue-invented method as a national standard for estimating concrete strength WEST ...
A Purdue University invention that could help reduce time and money spent on the construction and repair of concrete highway pavement and other structures has been selected as a finalist for an Edison ...
Not only could the new process help sequester CO 2 from the ever-warming atmosphere, it also results in concrete with uncompromised strength and durability. "More interestingly, this approach to ...
