New bendable concrete could help buildings survive earthquakes

Bendable displays may be all the rage these days, but there’s another material that could benefit from some added flexibility: concrete. Researchers at the Swinburne University of Technology have been developing a bendable, cement-free concrete that could hold up far better to earthquakes, and has a far lower carbon footprint than previous attempts at a bendable concrete. Developed by researchers Dr. Behzad Nematollahi and Professor Jay Sanjayan, the new concrete is produce
