Abstract:
A concrete material, particularly for concrete compression elements transmitting compressive forces, to be used in a structural element as the thermal insulation in structural engineering, made of a high-strength concrete in the strength class C55 or higher, with the concrete being embodied as a thermally insulating, load-bearing material including titanium minerals as additives. Additionally, a structural element for thermal insulation and a brick-shaped thermally insulating element, each using said concrete material, are provided.
Abstract:
A non-magnetic concrete structure having no magnetism or a very small magnetic permeability without reinforcing steel bars arranged, a sidewall for a guideway, and a method for installing the sidewall for the guideway are provided.The reinforcing steel bars-free sidewall 11 for the guideway 10 is constructed by using a non-magnetic concrete structure constructed by using a fiber-reinforced cement-based mixed material and having no reinforcing steel bars therein. The fiber-reinforced cement-based mixed material is produced by mixing non-metallic fibers or non-magnetic metal fibers into a cement-based matrix in a mixing amount of 1 to 4% for an entire volume of the cement-based matrix. The cement-based matrix is obtained by mixing a composition with water. The above composition is composed of cement, aggregate grains having a maximum grain diameter of not more than 2.5 mm, pozzolanic reaction particles having particle diameters of not more than 15 μm and supper plasticizer. The fiber-reinforced cement-based mixed material has mechanical properties: a compressive strength of not less than 150 N/mm2 and a tensile strength of not less than 5 N/mm2.
Abstract:
A solid mixture for the preparation of concretes with a mechanical strength after 28 days that is greater than or equal to 110 MPa comprising cement, calcareous aggregates and admixtures characterised by the fact that any additions with latent hydraulic activity are less than 5% by weight compared to the cement.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a heat-resistant material for a low-melting metal casting machine, which comprises calcium silicate and a fluoride.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a porous cementitious product, which method comprises: forming a cementitious premix; casting the premix in a desired configuration; generating gas bubbles within the premix; and curing the premix, wherein gas bubbles are generated and/or collapsed at specific locations within the premix in order to produce a porosity profile along a cross-section of the product such that the product comprises a relatively low density core region and higher density outer regions.
Abstract:
A binder for self-compacting concrete includes, in dry weight of the-binder, 70 to 90% of Portland cement, 4 to 16% of calcium aluminate, 4 to 14% of calcium sulphate, an accelerator and a retarder, 0 to 2% of Ca(OH)2 and at least an additive with a water reducer. The calcium sulphate is in the form of anhydrite and the water reducer has at least a superplasticizer consisting of a water soluble or water dispersible organic compound, having at least an amino-di(alkylene-phosphonic) group and at least a polyoxyalkylated chain or at least one of its salts.
Abstract:
Concrete pavement of highways and streets is designed with preset strength safety level determined depending on the volumes of truck traffic. The choice of this level is based on the analysis of test results of thousands precast and prestressed structural members. Strength safety of pavement is equivalent to safety of design flexural strength of concrete estimated as a part of modulus of rupture. Thickness design of pavement with the preset strength safety level allows more complete utilization of flexural strength of concrete than that provided by the current design practice. If thickness of pavement is controlled by results of fatigue analysis, it means reduction of thickness of pavement by 8-10% as compared with that provided by the thickness design of these pavements according to Portland Cement Association Engineering Bulletin EB109P. It can be applied to any other methods of thickness design of concrete pavement as well as for PCA method.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods are provided for creating a low density cellular concrete that has a viscosity which rapidly increases after adding an accelerator, while maintaining substantially the same density. The initial components include a cement, water, a surfactant to create a foam, and an accelerator such as sodium carbonate. The accelerator serves to rapidly increase the viscosity of the mixture, thereby entrapping the foam or air within the matrix of the mixture before air can escape. An additional embodiment includes using a byproduct such as fly ash in the composition to further reduce costs and make an environmentally friendly product.
Abstract:
A mortar cement composition is composed of a cement or ground portland cement clinker, ground limestone and/or lime, sand, a sufficient amount of water to render the composition flowable, and at least one water-soluble polymer present in the amount having a lower limit of about 0.001 wt % and an upper limit of about 0.04 wt % based on total dry weight of the ingredients, with the proviso that the extent of adsorption of the polymer onto the cement is less than 50%, and wherein the resulting mortar has 8-16% air content and greater than 70 psi flexural bond strength. This mortar cement composition is for use in building structures in all seismic zones.
