When compressive strength tests of laboratory-cured cylinders fail to meet the specified acceptance criteria, core tests are commonly used to verify the strength and to obtain acceptance of the ...

The conversion of iron tailings, a mining solid waste, into conductive concrete aligns with green engineering and supports the development of intelligent construction materials. This study employed a ...

Results that are obtained from concrete specimens during laying of concrete may not actually represent the concrete strength in the structure. In situ NDT (non-destructive testing) at several ...

This study presents a transformative advancement in civil engineering by integrating artificial intelligence with infrastructure sensing to redefine concrete structures testing and monitoring.

Although failure of material is not the only reason for bridge failures, it is a vital step for choosing the correct materials, the analysis of bridge design, and construction testing. Bridge members ...

In the summer of 1981 a friend called me to ask if I would be interested in moonlighting to help him install floor sealer for a company in California. Even though I worked 18 hours that day, I decided ...

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 ...

Drexel University engineers have shown that a concrete mix designed to gently warm itself in cold weather can cut damaging freeze-thaw cycles outdoors, pointing to longer-lasting pavements for cold ...

New analysis explains how outdated concrete testing slows road and bridge projects, and what Iowa's specification ...

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is rapidly emerging as a premier material for precast concrete construction. First introduced as “reactive powder concrete” in the early 1990s, this material has ...
