Concrete Innovations

Innovative supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash, slag cement and silica fume are used to increase strength, durability and workability. Chemical admixtures affect set time, freeze-thaw resistance and flowability. Tiny fibers are added to increase ductility and control cracking. Carbon dioxide is injected into concrete to improve strength and capture greenhouse gasses. Some enhancements actually scrub pollutants from the surface of concrete and from the surrounding atmosphere which is what makes the concrete on the Jubilee Church so innovative. The exterior curved surfaces are coated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) cement which eats smog, helping to keep the surface clean. Concrete is the most widely used building product in the world. It’s mostly made locally with local materials. It’s cost-effective, available everywhere, strong, and durable. Although conventional concrete can tackle most jobs, it is also the material of choice for the tallest buildings in the world and infrastructure designed to last centuries. Although concrete is not always synonymous with innovation, new products and manufacturing methods are enhancing concretes performance to tackle modern challenges. This article explores some of these latest innovations. This information can be published in our peer-reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact factor is considered to be more important than other ones.
