Why biomaterials?
Biomaterials offer a number of properties and advantages that make them particularly interesting.
Brief history of concrete
Concrete, which has come a long way since its origins, is the most widely used material in construction.
Does concrete set under water?
Issues to be considered for the correct construction of submerged structures.
Pervious concrete
Pervious concretes prevent flooding, avoid damage to installations and guarantee their use.
Façades in changing colours
In contemporary architecture, façades are artistic expressions that arouse curiosity and admiration.
Recycled materials in construction
A way to make construction a greener and more environmentally responsible process.
Modern timber construction
Mjøstårnet in Norway or the Ascent MKE Building in Wisconsin, USA, demonstrate the success of timber construction.
Applications of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
The fine granulometry and, as a consequence, its high fluidity, facilitates the production of customised modular parts.
Bio Concrete
A material similar to the calcium carbonate of coral reefs, from the photosynthetic cementation of microalgae.
Ultra high strength concrete
Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is making inroads in the construction industry, due to its increased sustainability and energy efficiency. But what exactly is it and how is it produced? [...]
Polished steel sheets in architecture and construction
Different treatments create different decorative textures, such as rippling, and produce different visual effects.
“Green concrete”
Various ways to maintain a genuine commitment to preserving the environment of this building material.
