Abstract:
The present invention is related to an inorganic building material comprising boron oxide compounds which are different to conventional raw material mixtures. The mixture having a gel consistency formed following the mixture of raw materials with different characteristics, chemical content, and organic and metallic foaming agents with water is then sized by being foamed after dragged in air as a function of time, following this it is cured under high pressure and is given mechanical resistance, low density and nonflammability characteristics.
Abstract:
A strength improvement admixture composition is provided that increases the compressive strength of cementitious compositions without negatively increasing the setting time. The admixture comprises the components of a polycarboxylate dispersant, a set retarder, and a strength improvement additive.
Abstract:
A process for producing a honeycomb structure includes: manufacturing a honeycomb-shaped formed article (honeycomb formed article) by kneading a forming raw material containing ceramic as a main component and a forming auxiliary, an additive, and a pore former to prepare kneaded clay and forming and drying the kneaded clay, calcining the honeycomb formed article to obtain a calcined article, and firing the calcined article. Upon performing a tensile load measurement of the kneaded clay or the formed article, a slope θ of the straight line through an inflection point b and an yielding point c of a graph showing a relation between the tensile load and a displacement amount is below 100% of a slope δ of the straight line through a starting point a where an elastic deformation is shown and the inflection point b. According to the present invention, there can be produced a honeycomb structure capable of suppressing defect generation upon forming a honeycomb to improve yield, hardly generating a new defect upon actual use of the honeycomb structure, and having excellent durability.
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 invention concerns a quick binder for self-compacting concrete comprising, 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 comprising a water reducer. The calcium sulphate is in the form of anhydrite and the water reducer comprises at least a superplasticizer consisting of a water soluble or water dispersible organic compound, comprising at least an amino-di(alkylene-phosphonic) group and at least a polyoxyalkylated chain or at least one of its salts. The invention also concerns the use of said binder in concrete and its applications in land cofferdam or for urgent repair of a structure, in particular in room temperature conditions higher than 25 DEG C.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a fibre-containing cement composite whereof the cement matrix comprises a water/binder ratio less than 0.25, and consists of cement, granular elements, fine elements with pozzolanic reaction and a fluidising agent. The reinforcement consists of three types of fibres: a) metal fibres with length ranging between 15 and 25 mm, diameter ranging between 0.25 and 0.3 mm in a volume percentage ranging between 0.5 and 3 %; b) metal fibres with length ranging between 5 and 10 mm, diameter ranging between 0.15 and 0.2 mm, in a percentage between 4 and 7 %; c) 1.5 to 5 % of short metal fibres with length less than 3 mm. The uniaxial tensile strength of said composite is not less than 30 MPa. Its exhibits positive and ductile strain hardening behaviour in uniaxial tension.
Abstract:
A cement composition for use in borehole applications comprises hydraulic cement, sufficient water to form a slurry, and an effective amount of a resilience/toughness enhancing additive comprising a thermoplastic block copolymer having a tensile strength of from 500 to 4000 psi, a recoverable elongation of 200 to 1000 percent and exhibiting temperature stability in the range of 30° to 500°F, the cement composition being useful for forming seals at desired locations in wellbores or formations penetrated by wellbores by placing the composition in the desired location and permitting the composition to set.
