WSJ - The Construction Method That Can Prevent Skyscrapers From Sinking 11042023

Super-tall skyscrapers are being built in cities around the world where they may normally sink, and builders are using a unique engineering method called deep-soil mixing to make it happen. Mixing soil and cement creates a super-strong slurry called “soilcrete” that is three times stronger than regular soil. WSJ explains the process of essentially changing the earth, and the risks it poses as cities expand

EQ Science - A concrete guide to Concrete, 22032023

A beginners guide on: - the role of cement, water, aggregates and additives in creating the perfect mix for various types of concrete; - the chemical reactions that occur during the curing process which result in the hardening and strengthening of the material - the unique properties of concrete that make it an ideal material for building structures and infrastructure; - the different types of concrete according to their bulk mass density, and how they are used in construction projects

Belinda Carr - Are Geopolymers BETTER than Portland Cement? 08062022

Researchers around the world are trying to find an alternative to traditional cement and concrete that is less destructive to our planet. One very promising material is geopolymer cement. It completely replaces Portland cement with waste industrial products. It can also be much stronger and perform better than traditional concrete. This video looks at how geopolymers are made, how they are used, their advantages and disadvantages.

Undecided - How A Brick & Rock Battery Is Changing Energy Storage, 25012023

How A Brick & Rock Battery Is Changing Energy Storage - Grid-scale lithium ion batteries are our current go-to chemical energy storage solution, but they present their own challenges in safety, sustainability, cost, and longevity. However, new forms of thermal energy storage systems are on the rise that use abundant, cheap materials such as a brick battery and another using a crushed volcanic rock battery
