Concrete 3D Printing May Soon Become Standard Practice in Construction

Cierra Decicco July 27, 2018

Innovation in the construction industry has taken a whole new turn with the latest advances in 3D-printing technology. If you’re not already familiar with this technology, 3D printing involves a machine that uses concrete as its “ink” to construct buildings from the base up.

So how does this apply to construction?3D Printing in ConstructionA number of companies including Contour Crafting Corporation, CyBe Construction, and Apis Cor have already created, tested, and used 3D printers for construction purposes.Contour Crafting has created a variety of 3D printers, with their latest development being a lightweight machine capable of printing one…

Top 10 World Record Breakers in Concrete

Cierra Decicco July 19, 2017

This week, we’ve compiled our top 10 record breakers in concrete. From old to new, this list will give you an idea of the best of the best in the world of concrete! Explore 12 Futuristic Technology Trends Solving Concrete’s Biggest Challenges. Download our 2025 Innovations Calendar! Download Now 1. Oldest Man-Made ConcreteThe earliest recordings of concrete structures date back to 6500BC by the Nabataea traders in regions of Syria and Jordan. They created concrete floors, housing structures, and underground cisterns. This later gave way to modern concrete practices and inspired standard portland cement mixtures. Contrary to popular belief, the Ancient Romans were not the first to create this innovation and did not implement this until around 500 years later, though they were the first to use the material widespread and on a much larger scale.2.

Concrete Producers Can Learn Something from the Ancient Romans

Cierra Decicco July 11, 2017

How Ancient Roman Concrete Has Survived The CenturiesResearchers have found concrete mixes from the Roman Empire prove to be the world’s longest-lasting. Modern concrete recipes are very different from the Roman formula, as modern concrete usually features cement, water, aggregates, and a reinforced steel interior. Explore 12 Futuristic Technology Trends Solving Concrete’s Biggest Challenges. Download our 2025 Innovations Calendar! Download Now The HistoryAncient concrete structures made from volcanic ash, lime, and seawater has lasted around 2,000 years and thus is contributing to the research of durable concrete. The process of course didn’t include steel reinforcements (or rebar), but by packing the concrete mix into wooden forms. The Romans constructed concrete seawalls to form a coastal defense, unaware these structures would continue to strengthen based on the minerals and their natural chemistry. The chemistry between saltwater and volcanic ash creates interlocking…

Benefits to Using Recycled Tires in Concrete

Cierra Decicco June 30, 2017

How Recycled Tires Are Used to Reinforce ConcreteAlthough there have been cases of concrete structures lasting centuries (like the Colosseum), concrete produced today will realistically last around up to 50 years depending on the mix design, the reinforcement, the placement, and exposure conditions. The fact is that concrete can last much longer with the proper contents, curing, and balance of materials. Explore 12 Futuristic Technology Trends Solving Concrete’s Biggest Challenges. Download our 2025 Innovations Calendar! Download Now What Is The Method of Using Recycled Tires in Concrete?In an effort to improve the durability and resilience of concrete, researchers have attempted to use recycled rubber within concrete mixes. The result of this has been positive, stating this mix can help extend the lifespan of concrete structures, roads and bridges, as well as reduce landfill waste of car tires.How It WorksPolymer fibres…

3 Ways Telematics Can Improve Construction

Cierra Decicco June 16, 2017

In the pursuit of saving time, it becomes difficult when a project is caught up in contracts and agreements, project changes, and the many regulations and procedures that are necessary to complete a project. These problems cause other concerns such as relevant equipment, materials, and foreman required to finish a project on time. Telematics is defined as long-range transmission of data. In this case, telematics uses wireless communication to create data that can be saved and shared for the purpose of site optimization. With the recent developments in wireless sensors, remote data monitoring, and mobile apps, construction companies will be able to track data such as equipment usage per day, the location of each tool, concrete curing level, and even assessing the performance of the equipment. Here are three ways that the telematics technology can improve productivity on construction sites….
