A New Building Material: Wood Fiber Concrete
A New Building Material: Wood Fiber Concrete “Scientists have worked on a method for recycling unused concrete with wood fibers. They produced wood fiber concrete, a new building material with greater flexural strength than the original concrete. This work can help reduce CO2 emissions associated with new concrete production.” Concrete has long been a favorite […]
