Concrete's strength and structural integrity come not only in its material properties, but also from how it's molded during construction. An architecture student has devised a clever way to build ...

The concrete industry is becoming increasingly competitive as a growing number of contractors adopt tools, such as BIM and collaboration platforms, for managing project information. Formwork is one of ...

Can the type of concrete used for a project affect the formwork needed to ensure its success? Construction Week investigates the effects of self-compacting concrete on formwork. One of the latest ...

The controlled permeable formwork (CPF) liner is an innovative approach to enhance the quality of the concrete cover zone. This novel technique facilitates the drain of excess water and entrapped air ...

Throughout the 20th century, a number of innovators experimented with fabric as a flexible membrane for the support of fluid concrete, forming structural members. Significant among the early ...

"Unfold Form" is a lightweight and reusable formwork system for vaulted concrete structures. This type of formwork uses geometry to shape a floor that uses up to 60 percent less concrete and 90 ...

The Aarhus School of Architecture working with Asbjørn Søndergaard of Odico Formwork Robotics, has unveiled a high-performance structure deployed using a revolutionary robotic manufacturing method.

Rapid urbanisation, growth of city-centric commerce and corresponding infrastructure development have heightened construction activity across the globe. Consequent challenges of construction project ...

Materials researchers from the Block Research Group at the ETH Zurich, together with architects supermanoeuvre, have revealed a prototype for an ultra-thin, sinuous concrete roof system with an ...
