Research shows that combining silica fume, fly ash, and manufactured sand in concrete significantly boosts strength and enhances predictive modeling accuracy.
Given its status as the most widely-used manufactured material on Earth, reducing the huge environmental footprint of concrete would have significant consequences for the health of the planet.

Concrete from desert sand? Scientists test cement alternative using plant-based binders
Researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and the University of ...
A new study found that graphene derived from metallurgical coke, a coal-based product, through flash Joule heating could serve not only as a reinforcing additive in cement but also as a replacement ...
Concrete is a very popular building material, enough so that one of its key ingredients – sand – is in increasingly short supply. Scientists are thus now exploring the possibility of replacing that ...
Researchers have discovered how to make concrete from recycled glass - by turning it back into sand. A team from Australia were able to turn the waste into a replacement for industrial flooring - ...
Academics from the University of Bath are collaborating with Indian researchers in a two-year project to create environmentally-friendly concrete that uses plastic waste as a partial replacement for ...
Construction crews are literally dredging rivers dry while sitting next to infinite piles of worthless sand. That paradox might finally have a solution, thanks to researchers who figured out how to ...
