Innovative Technology for Enhanced Concrete Construction
2024-11-16Researchers from the Institute of Construction Management and Economics at Graz University of Technology have developed a prototype of a control system for concreting processes on construction sites as part of their DigiCoPro project. Using sensors and advanced algorithms, the system aims to minimize errors and reduce resource waste by eliminating the need for rework.

Will Baltimore bridge collapse force U.S. to pay more attention to its infrastructure?
2024-03-29The 617,000 bridges in the U.S. include not just those spanning mighty rivers but also every highway overpass and minor link across a stream—and close to one tenth of them are significantly compromised. “If you have to think in terms of catastrophe, we’re already there,” says Amlan Mukherjee, the director of sustainability focusing on infrastructure at WAP Sustainability Consulting.

Most wear-resistant metal alloy in the world
2018-09-12If you're ever unlucky enough to have a car with metal tires, you might consider a set made from a new alloy engineered at Sandia National Laboratories. You could skid -- not drive, skid -- around Earth's equator 500 times before wearing out the tread.
Sandia's materials science team has engineered a platinum-gold alloy believed to be the most wear-resistant metal in the world. It's 100 times more durable than high-strength steel, making it the first alloy, or combination of metals, in the same class as diamond and sapphire, nature's most wear-resistant materials. Sandia's team recently reported their findings in Advanced Materials. "We showed there's a fundamental change you can make to some alloys that will impart this tremendous increase in performance over a broad range of real, practical metals," said materials scientist Nic Argibay, an author on the paper.
Although metals are typically thought of as strong, when they repeatedly rub against other metals, like in an engine, they wear down, deform and corrode unless they have a protective barrier, like additives in motor oil.

Engineered sand zaps storm water pollutants
2018-08-30UC Berkeley engineers have developed a novel method for purifying storm water using manganese oxide-coated sand, which effectively removes organic pollutants and has the potential to create safe drinking water reservoirs for water-stressed communities.
