摘要:
Self-repairing, fiber reinforced matrix materials include a matrix material including inorganic as well as organic matrices. Disposed within the matrix are hollow fibers having a selectively releasable modifying agent contained therein. The hollow fibers may be inorganic or organic and of any desired length, wall thickness or cross-sectional configuration. The modifying agent is selected from materials capable of beneficially modifying the matrix fiber composite after curing. The modifying agents are selectively released into the surrounding matrix in use in response to a predetermined stimulus be it internal or externally applied. The hollow fibers may be closed off or even coated to provide a way to keep the modifying agent in the fibers until the appropriate time for selective release occurs. Self-repair, smart fiber matrix composite materials capable of repairing microcracks, releasing corrosion inhibitors or permeability modifiers are described as preferred embodiments in concrete and polymer based shaped articles.

摘要:
The present invention provides concrete having improved plastic shrinkage crack resistance, comprising: concrete; and non-alkaline resistant glass fibers. The present invention also provides a method of reducing plastic shrinkage cracks in concrete, comprising the steps of: combining cement, aggregate, sand, and water to form concrete; adding a desired amount of non-alkaline resistant glass fibers to the concrete; and mixing the concrete and glass fibers to disperse the glass fibers uniformly throughout the concrete, wherein the glass fibers reduce the amount of plastic shrinkage cracks of the concrete as compared to non-fiber reinforced concrete.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a cementitious structural panel and its method of manufacture. The method of manufacture involves encapsulating a top and bottom layer of porous reinforcing material with a cementitious mixture by vibration. The structural panel may be coated with a layer of waterproof material.

Compositions are provided for increasing the electrical conductivity of concrete or controlled low-strength materials (flowable fill). One composition sets to produce a concrete and includes from 1% to 30% by weight of portland cement; from 1% to 30% by weight of fly ash having a carbon content as measured by loss on ignition of greater than 12%; from 40% to 90% by weight of an aggregate; from 0.1% to 20% by weight of carbon fibers; and water in a sufficient amount such that the composition sets to a concrete. Another composition is a self-compacting, cementitious flowable fill composition that includes from 1% to 30% by weight of portland cement; from 5% to 85% by weight of fly ash; from 0.1% to 20% by weight of carbon fibers; and water in a sufficient amount such that the composition sets to a material having a compressive strength of 8.3 MPa or less.
摘要:
A concrete includes organic fibers, dispersed in a cement matrix. The cement matrix includes elements having predetermined particle sizes. The organic fibers have predetermined lengths and diameters. The behavior of the concrete is improved both with respect to the occurrence of minute cracks and the propagation of large cracks as a result of a synergistic effect between the cement matrix and the organic fibers.
