If there’s an enduring image of how large steel structures used to be made, it’s probably the hot riveting process. You’ve probably seen grainy old black-and-white films of a riveting …read more Continue reading Mechanisms: Tension Control Bolts
Using a 3D printer that works with molten glass, researchers forged LEGO-like glass bricks with a strength comparable to concrete. The bricks could have a role in circular construction in which materials are used over and over again.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading ‘Brain-breaking’ glass bricks are 3D printed, reusable, and strong
Malicious hackers are caught brute-forcing Foundation Accounting Software at scale, compromising organizations in the construction industry.
The post Threat Actors Target Accounting Software Used by Construction Contractors appeared first on SecurityWe… Continue reading Threat Actors Target Accounting Software Used by Construction Contractors
The ingenuity of ancient Egyptian engineers may have been even more ahead of their time than we thought. A new study suggests a currently unexplained ancient structure may have been part of a water purification system feeding a hydraulic lift to raise … Continue reading Ancient hydraulic lift systems could have helped build the pyramids
If there’s one thing wars are good at, it’s turning buildings into rubble. But this mobile manufacturing machine does the reverse, turning rubble from destroyed buildings into bricks – bricks which can be stacked and joined together Lego-style to form … Continue reading Mobile factory makes Lego-style mortarless building bricks from rubble
A robotic truck equipped with a 105-ft (32-m) telescopic boom arm has just journeyed from Australia to Florida. Now the construction robot will get busy churning out up to 10 houses in a bid to become the employee of choice for building entire communit… Continue reading World’s fastest brick-laying construction robot lands on American shores
Concrete and steel production are major sources of CO2 emissions, but a new solution from Cambridge could recycle both at the same time. Throwing old concrete into steel-processing furnaces not only purifies iron but produces “reactivated cement” as a … Continue reading ‘Absolute miracle’ breakthrough provides recipe for zero-carbon cement
The “Study Pavilion” has now been built at the Technical University Braunschweig in Germany, and the holistic modular design and construction of the reconfigurable building offers a fascinating glimpse into a potential future for scalable, reconfigurab… Continue reading Scalable, reconfigurable building switches modes like a big Meccano set
An experimental new helmet could save drivers of construction vehicles from serious injuries. The device measures the extent to which its wearer is being shaken up while driving, and sounds an alert when the shaking gets to be too much.Continue Reading… Continue reading Smart helmet tracks shake to keep brains safe on the job
Part of the exorbitant cost of offshore wind energy is the massive crane ships required to install the damn things – but Norwegian company Windspider has come up with a brilliantly lightweight crane system that promises to slash costs in half.Continue … Continue reading Self-assembling crane promises to halve cost of offshore wind setup
