Abstract:
A composite pavement structure comprises a wearing course layer and a base course layer disposed below the wearing course layer. The wearing course layer comprises aggregate, e.g. glass and rock, and an elastomeric composition. The elastomeric composition comprises the reaction product of an isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive component. The isocyanate component comprises a polymeric isocyanate, and optionally, an isocyanate-prepolymer. The isocyanate-reactive component comprises a hydrophobic polyol and a chain extender having at least two hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight of from about 62 to about 220. The chain extender is present in the isocyanate-reactive component in an amount of from about 1 to about 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the isocyanate-reactive component. The base course layer comprises aggregate which is the same or different than the aggregate of the wearing course layer. Methods of forming the composite pavement structure are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a new method of producing an NZP type structure having the general formula R x Z 4 P 6-y Si y O 24 , where R stands for an alkali or an earth alkali element, x takes values between 0 and 8, Z stands for Zr, Ti, Nb, Ta, Y or a lanthanide, P stands for phosphorus, Si stands for silicon, O stands for oxygen and y takes values between 0 and 6.These structures exhibit high porosity and high flexural strength without using sintering agents and pore formers. Specifically, this invention refers to the production of NZP-type structures with a new method, using ammonium hydrogen phosphate (NH 4 -H 2 PO 4 ) as a source of phosphorus. The new method comprises of two steps, wherein the raw materials react forming a NZP precursor powder in the first step and the precursor powder is then shaped and fired forming the final NZP structure. This method results to the formation of an NZP structure that combines a melting point of at least 1700°C, with a thermal expansion coefficient between -1 x 10 -6 °C -1 and 1.5 x 10 -6 °C -1 , with an open porosity of at least 20% and with flexural strength of at least 1500 psi without the use of any sintering agent or pore former.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a premix for improving the tensile strength, toughness and liquid-tightness of set construction materials derived from a suspension, such as concrete. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a concrete mortar. The invention provides a premix for improving the tensile strength, toughness and liquid-tightness of set construction materials derived from a suspension, such as concrete. The premix comprises fibres which are rough at the surface, and elongated fibres with hook-like deformations on at least both ends and, possibly, polypropylene fibres. It has been found that the fibres which are rough at the surface, have a tensile strength enhancing effect on the eventual construction. The elongated fibres with hook-like deformations have a toughness enhancing effect on the eventual construction. By using the polypropylene fibres, the setting process of the concrete improves, so that the liquid-tightness of the eventual concrete construction is improved.
Abstract:
A molded cured product obtained from a kneaded material using hydraulic powdery material, latent hydraulic fine powder, compounding water and if necessary, fine aggregate is hot aged under a specific condition so that silicic acid anion of at least a trimer is formed in calcium silicate hydrate formed in the texture of this molded cured product. This molded cured product has a compressive strength of at least 1,000 kgf/cm and a bending strength of at least 150 kgf/cm , and can suitably improve strength characteristics, particularly the bending strength as characterising drawback of cement type products, without using a specific reinforcing material and a compounding material such as a fiber, or even when these reinforcing material and compounding material are used, by drastically reducing their quantities. Accordingly, the present invention can advantageously provide a unique and novel cement type product. Incidentally, beautiful mortar or concrete products by glost firing, which has not been able to be practised due to unavoidable drop of strength characteristics, can be produced and provided as products having desirable bending strength, compressive strength and elastic modulus.
