The magazine was founded in 1906 by architect and founder of the Concrete Institute (later The Institution of Structural Engineers), Edwin Sachs. [1] It was described by the publishers as "a bi-monthly journal for engineers, architects and surveyors, contractors and builders, and all workers in cement, concrete, reinforced concrete, and constructional steel."

In 1875, the first iron-reinforced concrete bridge ever built was constructed at the Castle of Chazelet. Monier was the designer. The important point of Monier's idea was that it combined steel and concrete in such a way that the best qualities of each material were brought into play. Concrete is easily procured and shaped.
Ferrocement hull under construction A particularly fair ferrocement vessel, the staysail schooner "Rich Harvest" Ferrocement or ferro-cement [ 1 ] is a system of construction using reinforced mortar [ 2 ] or plaster (lime or cement , sand, and water) applied over an "armature" of metal mesh , woven, expanded metal, or metal-fibers, and closely ...
Advances in technology such as 3D Printing, drones and robotics, GPS, building information modelling and pre-fabrication increased the efficiency of construction. The United States was the first adopter of 3D printing technology in construction where huge machines would "print-out" cement in layers to form the walls of buildings. [ 27 ]
Today The Concrete Society is an independent concrete advisory company, providing information to industry clients, architects, engineers, specifiers, suppliers, contractors and users of concrete. [2] The society is an individual membership body, without trade affiliations, which exists to provide information to exchange information and ...
The ancient Romans used a type of lime mortar that has been found to be self-healing. [8] The stratlingite crystals form along the interfacial zones of Roman concrete, binding the aggregate and mortar together and this process continued even after 2000 years and it was discovered by the geologist Marie Jackson and her colleagues in 2014.
Lunarcrete, also known as "mooncrete", an idea first proposed by Larry A. Beyer of the University of Pittsburgh in 1985, is a hypothetical construction aggregate, similar to concrete, formed from lunar regolith, that would reduce the construction costs of building on the Moon. [3]
