On October 11, 2025, the State Council Information Office held a series of themed press conferences on the high-quality completion of the 14th Five Year Plan.
Vice Minister Li Xiaolong of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development introduced the promotion and guidance of the application of new materials in response to questions from reporters, among which “self-healing concrete” was mentioned as a model of new materials that can significantly improve building performance.

On September 29th, a news from a research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) caused a shock in the industry: their new type of electrically conductive carbon concrete (EC ³) has increased the energy storage density of concrete by 10 times, making the concept of “building as a battery” a reality.
The relevant research results were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in the United States.

The quality of concrete, as an important raw material in construction projects, directly affects the safety and durability of the project.
In daily concrete construction, there are many objective and subjective reasons that lead to improper control measures, resulting in the actual compressive strength of concrete being lower than the design strength, posing hidden dangers to the project, and even catastrophic collapse.
To ensure and improve the quality level of concrete in engineering, scientific control measures must be taken to ensure the quality of each procedure and process during the production and use of concrete.

According to foreign media reports, the 6-year competition to collect carbon dioxide emissions from operating power plants and convert them into useful products has ended, and two winners have emerged whose technology is expected to reduce the environmental footprint of concrete.
The $20 million Carbon Xprize has awarded cash prizes to two teams from North America who can demonstrate how their method can eliminate meaningful carbon dioxide and produce concrete with performance comparable to or even better than traditional materials.

The loss of raw materials in concrete enterprises is astonishing.
When compiling financial statements, it was found that in good market conditions, our raw material loss reached 9% of our profit, nearly 2 million yuan.
Such a large profit disappeared without a trace.
When the market environment is good, we don’t feel like wasting anything.
When the market environment is bad, this is the key to whether the enterprise is profitable.

Imagine that the load-bearing walls of your home and the floors of your office building can not only carry heavy loads, but also store electricity like a mobile phone power bank – this is not a science fiction movie! Scientists have used 3D printing technology to create such a magical ‘energy storage concrete’.
.
Recently, the environmental impact assessments of four concrete projects in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province and Xiangtan County, Hunan Province have been approved.
as follows:.
(2) We should establish a sound quality assurance system and a sound construction quality inspection system, strengthen the inspection of each process in the construction process, and keep records according to regulations.
.
The performance evaluation indicators of concrete are key parameters for measuring the quality of concrete, which directly affect the reliability and service life of concrete structures, mainly including the workability, strength, durability, and economy of concrete, as shown in Table 1.
.
As practitioners in the concrete industry, we have gone through a difficult time together in the past two years.
The sluggish real estate market, insufficient project funding, worsening market competition, and meager or even loss making corporate profits undoubtedly put pressure on many mixing plant owners and management, and even begin to doubt whether this industry is still worth sticking to.
