Hydra Finish is a silica-based finishing agent designed to slow evaporation and improve concrete workability. Using nanoparticle technology, the material enhances hydration and creates a smoother, ...

Over the past four decades, the use in concrete of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume, has improved the properties of fresh concrete, such as ...

As far as performance goes, the new form of C-Crete is claimed to "demonstrate pumpability, workability, setting time and surface finish akin to conventional concrete, while meeting ASTM international ...

The new brick can be manufactured with a high density, compressive strength, tensile strength and Young's modulus (the ability to withstand changes under lengthwise compression). Researchers led by a ...

Discover how concrete contractors can navigate the net zero transition, leverage new technologies, and stay competitive in the evolving low-carbon construction landscape.
