-(Natural News) Earthquakes can cause immense damage to infrastructure, in turn hindering the operation of important public services. A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València reportedly developed a new construction element capable of overcoming that problem. Dubbed “Smart Seismic Concrete Connection” (SSCC), this material is a combination of two “symbiotic” components: Shape-memory metal alloy […]

-(Natural News) Lithuanian researchers have accidentally hit upon a winning recipe for cheap yet strong and environment-friendly building materials. By combining locally available resources and recycled materials – milled glass, to be precise – they’ve come up with ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) that matches the strength of its regular counterparts at half the cost, reported an AlphaGalileo […]

-(Natural News) The construction industry workforce is poised to face potential job losses in the near future as researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently developed a robotic system designed to 3D-print basic structures of an entire building in less than 14 hours. The prototype system, called Digital Construction Platform, was able to produce a dome-like structure measuring 50 […]
