Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic.

Embedded directly into fresh concrete, the Purdue invention uses sensor technology to provide engineers with relatively precise and consistent real-time data on concrete's strength, which may be ...

Researchers at IIT Indore have discovered a method to enhance concrete strength using food waste and non-pathogenic bacteria. The bacteria and waste form calcium carbonate crystals that fill ...

Carbonated concrete developed by Professor Alessandro Rotta Loria offers the potential to offset emissions from cement manufacturing.

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.
