Purdue engineers are taking building possibilities to new heights with the university’s role in the research and development of an innovative high-rise construction process. Rainier Square, a 58-story ...
There is a growing interest in using coupled composite plate shear walls/ concrete-filled (CPSW/CF) for high-rise building construction, particularly to optimize the design for wind and/or seismic ...
High-rise concrete structures offer excellent thermal efficiency but present a number of challenges during construction, particularly with respect to moisture intrusion. Because these structures tend ...
It seems fitting that wider adoption of thin-shell concrete, a technology popular worldwide but somehow unfavored in the U.S., has resulted from the exigencies of the multifamily construction boom.
Developer hopes to demonstrate how the use of mass ply paneling over cross-laminated timber can speed up construction and make for a structurally stronger building. When 1510 Webster in downtown ...
Concrete reabsorbs some of its carbon emissions over time. Alternative ingredients and 3D printing could help supercharge that by making the finished concrete more porous.
