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, ...
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 ...
When choosing a method for monitoring the compressive strength of concrete, it’s important for project managers to consider the impact each technique will have on their schedule. While some testing ...
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 ...
