A method is disclosed. The method includes providing a cementitious material, the cementitious material including an absorbing material. The method also includes absorbing a fluid into the absorbing material during hydration of the cementitious material. The method further includes retaining the fluid in the absorbing material after hydration of the cementitious material.

In one aspect there is provided a construct, mound, layer or brick which offers utility as an erosion control medium formed primarily from a blend of biomass, cementitious binder and water. In another aspect there is provided a construct, mound, layer or brick, which offers utility as a construction medium. Also provided are processes by which an aggregate of woody biomass (a blend of chips, particles and pieces), and a cementitious binder slurry can be applied by manual methods or spray applied by mechanical means. Upon drying the biomass construct conforms and binds to a ground surface providing a hard porous medium capable of adhering to a large variety of ground surfaces and to terrain of varied slope, pitch and constitution.

A composition and method for reducing the loss of liquids by seepage through permeable ground surfaces is shown. The composition comprises an aqueous emulsion of asphalt including a cationic emulsifier, a nonionic surface active agent and elastomer solids. The compositions are particularly adapted for application to agricultural soils. After application to the ground surface, the surface is flooded with water to force the aqueous emulsion downward into the subsurface. A semi-permeable fluid barrier is created several inches below the surface. The composition and method are useful to create subsurface liquid barriers which permit the surface soil to be used for agricultural purposes.

There is disclosed a method for containing water having a high concentration of water-soluble industrial waste which, when in contact with bentonite, disintegrates the bentonite thereby allowing seepage of water through soil containing said water which comprises intimately admixing with said soil a soil sealant composition consisting essentially of bentonite, a water-soluble dispersing agent, and a water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, water-soluble salts of polyacrylic acid, hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, copolymers of the foregoing, and a copolymer of acrylic acid and maleic anhydride, the amount of water-soluble polymer being from 0.1% to 3.0%, by weight, and the amount of water-soluble dispersent being from 0.1% to 3.0%, by weight, the weight ratio of water-soluble dispersent to water-soluble polymer being from 6:1-36, intimately admixing an effective amount of said soil sealant composition with soil, forming a water-containing enclosure from said mixture of soil sealant composition and soil, and contacting said enclosure with water containing substantially no industrial waste compounds thereby hydrating the bentonite.

A method of forming a continuous structure includes the steps of preselecting a liquid reactive resin forming material, a particulate solid additive material and a porous blanket. The additive particles are mixed with the liquid resin forming material substantially continuously in a proportion significantly greater than that of the liquid resin forming material. Substantially all of the additive particles are encapsulated with the liquid resin forming material to a preselected thickness. A pool of the resulting mixture is formed on the blanket. The blanket is advanced at a rate sufficient to create movement of the additive particles within the pool and maintain the additive particles in suspension. Part of the liquid resin forming material is migrated through the blanket substantially uniformly prior to gelling of the liquid resin forming material to form a continuous resin matrix within the blanket. Also, apparatus forming the structure as well as the structure itself.

A method of forming a continuous structure includes the steps of flowing a first liquid reactive resin forming material over a base surface, forming a first thin substantially uniform layer thereof and gelling the first layer. A second liquid resin forming material is flowed through an orifice under pressure forming a liquid stream thereof. The liquid stream is gelled to form a continuous filament with structural integrity as it advances toward the first gelled layer. The filament is contacted with the first layer and distributed thereover in a preselected pattern forming a porous non-woven filament blanket. A particulate solid material is distributed substantially uniformly over the filament blanket. A third liquid resin forming material is flowed over the blanket forming a second thin substantially uniform layer of the third liquid resin forming material and the layer is gelled. The resulting freshly formed structure is compressed and positioned in a final configuration while the structure is flexible and adhesive after which curing is completed. Also, apparatus forming the structure as well as the structure itself.
摘要:
A building structure sealed against hydrostatic pressure and a process for constructing a building structure wherein the building structure is fashioned of concrete or stabilized natural substratum. The building structure is in the form of sandwich-like layers which are applied to a base layer with adherence between the respective layers being accomplished by polymerization. At least one layer is applied to the surface of the structure exposed to the hydrostatic pressure and is allowed to at least partially solidify. A web is impregnated with a synthetic sealing and impregnating compound and applied, in an unpolymerized condition, to the first layer so as to allow the web to polymerize in situ.
