Not only does the new method make old buildings "an urban mine for creating new buildings," but the calcium carbonate concrete bricks can themselves be reduced to powder at the end of their build ...

The new brick can be manufactured with a high density, compressive strength, tensile strength and Young's modulus (the ability to withstand changes under lengthwise compression). Researchers led by a ...

Researchers led by a team at the University of Tokyo have turned concrete from a demolished school building and carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air into new blocks strong enough to build a house with.

Concrete is a huge contributor to worldwide CO2 emissions, and Concrete Masonry Units (aka cinder blocks or breeze blocks) make up a significant part of this. However, a new project by Skidmore, ...
