Just look around. Concrete columns hold up potted plants, drip water or turn modern landscapes into ancient ruins. So why not make one of your own? Don't hesitate because you think concrete is ...

A new study demonstrates that the behavior of fiber reinforced polymer reinforced concrete columns is very similar to that of the conventional steel counterpart. Thus, for structures that function in ...

Engineers at Iowa State University think concrete columns could be the key to building taller, higher-powered wind turbines. By making the switch from steel to concrete, it's thought that the upper ...

Engineers at Washington University have developed a design for the framework of columns and beams that support reinforced concrete bridges so they will better resist earthquakes and be erected faster ...

The library is designed on sustainable principles. The two-storey reading room has a cast in situ concrete structure of cylindrical columns; the heads taper and extend to form four arms which support ...

While large-scale 3D printing for architecture continues to be a busy area of research, France-based company XtreeE has been using 3D printed concrete in projects since 2015. Their latest creation is ...

A study has revealed how 3D-printed concrete columns with GFRP reinforcement perform under pressure - offering new insights into structural design, durability, and the future of automated construction ...
