Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...

Wooden formwork also been known to absorb water from concrete when dry, reducing the strength in concrete structure. On the other hand, lumber with too much moisture can compress wet concrete and ...

But limits for allowable leakage on most structural concrete projects are controlled indirectly by specifications for tolerances and formed finish requirements. “(c) Formwork shall be ...

Constructing wooden formwork for a building is costly and time-consuming. There is a saying in the industry that concrete structures have to be built twice—once through the wooden formwork ...

EarthWorks introduces a zero-waste method for 3D-printing earthen formworks, enhancing sustainability in reinforced concrete ...

Vaulted floors need a formwork system—molds that give the poured concrete its delicate structure. However, these molds can be bulky and are often made from petroleum-based materials like Styrofoam.

MIT researchers 3D print formwork molds using mud - replacing the more costly wood formworks for concrete construction.

Investigators have found that a product called cellular concrete may be an environmentally friendly alternative to ...

Reinforced concrete is the miracle material which made possible so many of the twentieth century’s most iconic structures, but here in this century its environmental footprint makes it something ...
