BPS-Building Protection Systems

Professor (Dr.) S B Hegde provides a thorough examination of the challenges faced by concrete infrastructure in India’s coastal and harsh environments; the impact of salt, humidity, pollution, and extreme weather on concrete durability

Concrete structures deteriorate over time due to environmental factors, leading to issues like cracks and corrosion. Effective repair and maintenance are vital for restoring strength and durability. In this article, Sasanka Dey

Concrete is widely used in construction, yet its longevity and sustainability often go unnoticed until signs of premature deterioration appear. To truly understand how to extend its service life, it is crucial to explore the factors

“In modern construction, the integration of chemical admixtures is not just an enhancement—it's a necessity. By improving durability, performance, and sustainability, these innovations are shaping the future of infrastructure.

With the introduction of ICrete, we are pushing the boundaries of concrete technology with solutions that address both performance and environmental challenges. Kowshika V R, Executive Director, Amazecrete

The benefits of using different grinding aids in cement production are improved output, decreased energy consumption, cost reduction, and minimizing the carbon footprint- all of which are steps forward in bringing greater sustainability

The recent acquisition of BuildTech by Thermax exemplifies a significant trend within the industry towards strategic expansion and enhanced capabilities in construction technologies.

Icrete has emerged as a new age material for Concrete Construction given its efficacy in increasing the strength and durability of concrete, bringing value additions and greater profitability to the users.

The Cement Industry is embarking on a Net Zero pathway, aiming for a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and a full decarbonization by 2050, driven by technological innovations, use of alternative raw materials, and circular economy

Plastic hinges form at the maximum moment region of reinforced concrete columns. A reasonable estimation of the plastic hinge length is key to successfully modeling the lateral load-drift response and conducting a proper seismic

Radhakrishna, Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering, RV College of Engineering, Affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, Bengaluru. Block masonry is one of the oldest methods of construction. It is composed

Dr S B Hegde provides a deep, research-driven analysis of LC3 cement, emphasizing its chemistry, process innovations, global applicability, and success stories, and evaluates its technical advantages, performance, cost savings

Concrete is the second most consumed material after water in the world and cement is the key ingredient in making concrete. When a material becomes as integral to the structure as concrete, it is important to analyze its environmental impacts.

Dr. S B Hegde guides construction industry stakeholders on balancing cement’s early strength with long-term durability and sustainability and advocates optimized cement formulations and supplementary materials for more resilient infrastructure

V.R. Kowshika, Executive Director, Amazecrete, discusses the economic and environmental benefits of eco-friendly and sustainable products like ICRETE and the positive impact on the construction industry.
