Low-carbon concrete, supplementary cementitious materials, 3D-printed structures, timber engineering: materials research is one of the fastest-moving corners of civil engineering. The free plan sends a monthly digest, and Basic and Pro can send it weekly.
Construction materials research is published in Cement and Concrete Research, Construction and Building Materials, Cement and Concrete Composites, Materials and Structures, the ACI Materials Journal, and the ASCE Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering. The papers cover binders and aggregates, durability, mix design, and the testing of materials from the paste to the structure.
Materials research moves between chemistry, mechanics, and construction practice, and a keyword such as concrete matches all three. FeedScholar uses AI to pick the new papers that fit your profile, so a paper on carbonation of blended cements reaches the reader who asked for it.
The free plan sends a monthly email with the top 5 papers in your subfield, each with the reason it was picked. Paid plans send weekly or monthly and learn from your ratings.
