A civil engineer from Drexel University is working on a new recipe for concrete, using cast-off products from furnaces, that can hold its own against the forces of chemical erosion.

Elsewhere, engineers tinker with the recipe for concrete, trying out substitutes for some of the cement, which makes up about 15% of the mix and functions as the glue that holds it all together.

Concrete is one of the world’s most commonly used materials, and unfortunately its production is a major source of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Now, engineers at Purdue University have ...

These cast concrete steps are likely a century old, yet they’re in great condition. Masons may have added lime to their concrete mix to lend it extra durability.

Andreas Tselebidis, who has developed concrete mixes for more than 15 supertowers, says his assignment to design the mix for the world's first extra-high-strength architectural concrete supertower ...
