MIT researchers have developed a new type of origami-based construction method that could be used to build complex structures ...

Building strength is essential for ensuring the longevity and safety of structures used for living and working. The age of construction materials, such as cement, soil, and water, can be estimated ...

We've heard how 3D-printed concrete buildings can be constructed quickly and easily, but could there be an even faster and simpler method? According to American inventor Alex Bell, there most ...

Construction 3D printing has been in the headlines for a few years now, but most attention grabs are misleading. “A 3D printed house in 24 hours!” really means that a large concrete extruder has 3D ...

Acquire the ability to perform design tasks for building structures. Study advanced connections, complex structures, and system-level building design. Learn advanced techniques to evaluate structures ...

Faster delivery of buildings isn’t always associated with sustainability benefits or long-term value, but things are changing. An instructive case is in the development of steel structures that not ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

Environmental sustainability and the energy-intensive construction industry don’t often go hand-in-hand. The construction industry is a massive consumer of raw materials and natural resources, and it ...
