Nanocem was founded as an independent consortium in 2004 after a rejection of a 2002 bid to the Network of Excellence (European Framework Programme).. Nanocem's eleven completed core projects have included studies of interactions between admixtures and cement, [4] [5] concrete durability, the kinetics of cement hydration, [6] and the use of magnetic resonance imaging techniques in concrete ...
Mulalo Doyoyo FRSA (13 August 1970 – 11 March 2024) was a South African engineer, inventor, and professor. [1] [2]Doyoyo was a researcher in applied mechanics, ultralight materials, green building, renewable energy, and other fields of engineering.
Lunarcrete, also known as "mooncrete", an idea first proposed by Larry A. Beyer of the University of Pittsburgh in 1985, is a hypothetical construction aggregate, similar to concrete, formed from lunar regolith, that would reduce the construction costs of building on the Moon. [3]
Early construction 3D printing development and research have been under way since 1995. Two methods were invented, one by Joseph Pegna [9] which was focused on a sand/cement forming technique which utilized steam to selectively bond the material in layers or solid parts, though this technique was never demonstrated.
Hemp concrete has a low thermal conductivity, ranging from 0.06 to 0.6 W m −1 K −1, [24] [15] [25] a total porosity of 68–80% [24] [26] and a density of 200 kg /m 3 to 960 kg/m 3. [ 15 ] [ 27 ] Hemp concrete is also an aerated material with high water vapour permeability and its total porosity very close to open porosity allowing it to ...
In 2005, she became the editor in chief of the peer-reviewed journal Cement and Concrete Research, and has since become a member of its Honorary Editorial Board. [4] Karen Scrivener was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2014.
Reinforced concrete fits nearly into every form, is extremely versatile and is therefore widely used in the construction of buildings, bridges, etc. The major disadvantage of RC is that its steel reinforcement is prone to corrosion. Concrete is highly alkaline and forms a passive layer on steel, protecting it against corrosion.
TU/e Built Environment's Rohaco 3D Concrete Printer being extensively used for Concrete Printing Research. 3D concrete printing, or simply concrete printing, refers to digital fabrication processes for cementitious materials based on one of several different 3D printing technologies. 3D-printed concrete eliminates the need for formwork, reducing material waste and allowing for greater ...
