Why has technology not transformed traditional building methods? Interesting BBC News article on why new technologies have not been employed by the construction industry: https://lnkd.in/ebjEaKe5 #construction #buildingmethods

Oakland-based additive construction (AC) company Mighty Buildings, which specialized in making zero-net-energy prefabs, is up for sale. This announcement comes amid what looks like a broader restructuring in the #3Dprinted construction sector. Matt Kremenetsky reports.

Researchers at the University of New Mexico have developed a 3D-printable, ultra-ductile concrete—offering 11.9% more flexibility than traditional mixes. This innovation could mean stronger, more resilient infrastructure that better withstands natural disasters while reducing long-term maintenance costs. For structural engineers, this could revolutionize seismic design, bridge construction, and sustainable building practices. Is this the future of concrete? Read more: https://lnkd.in/dYiQhvk8
