    Abstract: A concrete composition for use in construction that is free of cement includes calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH), polypropylene (PP) fiber, sand, retarders, and superplasticizers. The retarders include poly condensed amino acid and calcium (Ca) salt. The superplasticizers include specially formulated polycarboxylate powder. Further, a method of using the concrete composition in one or more construction related activities (e.g., architectural applications) includes adding the concrete composition to water in a mixer, the concrete composition including CSH, PP fiber, sand, a retarder, and a superplasticizer; and blending the concrete composition with water in the mixer for a first predetermined amount of time. The method further includes mixing the concrete composition with water at a predetermined sheer in the mixer for a second predetermined amount of time. The method excludes the steps of steam curing, accelerated curing, and water curing that are used in conventional solutions.

    Abstract: Method of efficiently manufacturing cement-SCM compositions having improved strength compared to cement-SCM compositions made using conventional methods. The cement-SCM compositions may contain: (A) a fine interground particulate component with (1) a hydraulic cement fraction and (2) a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) fraction; (B) a coarse particulate component comprised of coarse SCM particles not interground with the fine interground particulate component; and optionally (C) an auxiliary particulate component not interground with the fine interground particulate component or the coarse particulate component. A method of manufacturing a cement-SCM composition may be performed by: (A) intergrinding hydraulic cement (e.g., cement clinker) with one or more SCMs to form a fine interground particulate component; (B) blending, without intergrinding, the fine interground particulate component with a coarse particulate component comprised of coarse SCM particles; and optionally (C) further combining, without intergrinding, an auxiliary particulate component with the fine interground particulate component and the coarse particulate component.
