Compressed Concrete Promises Light Strong Structural Columns
Northwestern Technological Institute tests a new compressed concrete column stronger and cheaper than steel. Proposed by Prof. George A. Maney, the 80 20 model with steel encasing supports higher loads than solid steel. If scalable, it could cut steel use, conserve iron ore, aid postwar reconstruction, and attract interest from France. The method uses minimal water and vibration during compaction.

Pacific Atoll described as a low-lying sea rim
A typical Pacific atoll sits a few feet above sea level and forms an oval lagoon up to 90 miles long. Its rim varies from a few yards to several hundred yards wide, with passes to the lagoon. High tides can flood the rim and enter the lagoon, while the sea wall is rough and strewn with dead coral chunks.
