The importance of modern visualization tools in materials specification
In architecture, choosing the right building materials is crucial to improving efficiency, ensuring structural integrity and maximizing performance, which ultimately sets the standard for the finished product. But because any building, from its exterior cladding to its framing system, consists of many layers and parts,...

Scientists analyze vibration patterns resulting from laser-induced shock waves to detect defects in concrete structures
Large concrete structures need to be regularly tested for defects that may compromise their stability. While acoustic tests performed by certified inspectors are usually the inspection method of choice, these tests take longer to perform as the structure's size increases. In a new study, scientists...
