S960 steel is lighter and stronger than commonly used S355 steel, making it an effective material for bridge construction. However, the welding process can reduce its mechanical properties, limiting ...

Earth mortar could be more resilient, flexible and stronger by adding plant fibers to the mix. The finding comes from research to better understand the strength and performance of raw earth mortar, ...

In the past years, most researches in NASA and elsewhere focused on making a type of geopolymer concrete for moon construction with a different binder than cement paste due to the lack of water and ...

A team at RMIT University has created a cement-free construction material using only cardboard, soil, and water. Strong ...

Several types of waste materials can be effectively reused and recycled for a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials, which leads to the conservation of those ...

Lectures and readings focus on bridges, railroads, power plants, steamboats, telegraph, highways, automobiles, aircraft, computers, and the microchip. Historical analysis provides a basis for studying ...

Engineers have demonstrated improvements in the fatigue life of high strength aluminum alloys by 25 times -- a significant outcome for the transport manufacturing industry. A world-first study by ...

Scientists have developed a fibre that combines the elasticity of rubber with the strength of a metal. Researchers at North Carolina State University are behind the innovation, which has created a ...
