The Conversation: To spur the construction of affordable, resilient homes, the future is concrete
A modular, precast system of concrete ‘rings’ can be connected in different ways to build a range of models of energy-efficient homes. Pablo Moyano Fernández, CC BY-SA Wood is, by far, the most common ...
To spur the construction of affordable, resilient homes, the future is concrete
Where a cantilevered concrete system may be a fairly common feature in today’s concrete buildings, a cantilevered concrete system that the majority of the building rests above draws some attention.
Contraction joints (sometimes called control joints) are used in unreinforced and lightly reinforced slabs-on-ground to minimize random cracking. By creating straight-line weakened-planes in concrete, ...
Concrete contractors are as varied as there are projects. As every job is going to be different, every contractor looks for a different type of project. Then there are the few that look for the ...
