摘要:
A fiber reinforced concrete composition which cures to a cured fiber reinforced concrete composite following addition of water, the cured fiber reinforced concrete composite having a density from about 700 to 1000 kg/m3 and a compressive strength from about 5 to 15 MPa. A fiber reinforced concrete composition includes a brittle inorganic matrix precursor, a plurality of reinforcing fibers present in a range from 0.5 volume percent to less than 4 volume percent based on the total volume of the cured fiber reinforced concrete composite, and lightweight aggregate having a mean particle size in the range of 10 μm to 1000 μm, in an amount effective to achieve a target density in the cured composite not more than 1000 kg/m3. The reinforcing fibers include polypropylene fibers. The lightweight aggregate can include hollow fly ash spheres and glass microspheres. An acrylic admixture can be added to the composition.

Method of forming a concrete slab to reduce or eliminate control joints includes preparing a substantially flat base, overlaying one or more barriers on top of the base, placing a concrete mixture on top of the barrier(s) and base to form a concrete slab, and allowing the concrete to cure without forming control joints. The base is prepared with a flatness of about ±¼ inch over 10 feet. A side edge is prepared along a periphery of the concrete slab by extending a vapor barrier from a bottom surface of the slab up the side edge toward a top surface of the slab and covering the side edge. A plurality of post-tensioning cables are positioned to extend through the slab and configured to compress and assist in controlling accelerated displacement of the concrete slab during curing and shrinkage. The concrete slab is formed of an evenly gradated and low slump concrete having high fiber content, minimized cement content, and maximized size of large aggregate.

A well cement composition includes a hydraulic well cement and multi-component fibers having at least a first polymeric composition and a second polymeric composition. At least a portion of the external surfaces of the multi-component fibers includes the first polymeric composition, and the first polymeric composition includes an ethylene-methacrylic acid or ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer. A method of cementing a subterranean well is also described. The method includes introducing the well cement composition into a wellbore, wherein the well cement composition further comprises water, and forming a cured cement in the wellbore.

Gypsum composites containing cementitious materials and methods of making the same are provided. Gypsum composites include gypsum and a cementitious material. Methods of making gypsum composites include combining gypsum stucco, water, and a cementitious material to form a slurry, and setting and drying the slurry to form a gypsum composite.

The present invention relates to a system and method for the production of gypsum board using starch pellets. In accordance with the present disclosure, the starch necessary for board formation is provided in the form of starch pellets. These pellets are mixed with a gypsum slurry in a mixer. The pellets are initially insoluble and do not dissolve. However, during subsequent drying stages, the pellets become soluble and dissolve into the gypsum phase. This both provides the desired starch component and also results in the formation of voids within the set gypsum.
摘要:
A concrete article comprised of concrete having therein a reinforcing polymer that has a surface comprised of a thermoplastic hydroxy-functionalized polyether or polyester. The concrete article is made by mixing concrete, water and a reinforcing polymer that has a surface comprised of a thermoplastic hydroxy-functionalized polyether or polyester and curing said concrete mixture forming the concrete article.
摘要:
A mortar composition, in particular a leveling mortar composition, including: a) 3-45 wt. % of a hydraulic binder, b) 15-80 wt. % of lightweight aggregates, c) 5-50 wt. % of a polymer.
摘要:
A composite material and process for forming composite material. The composite material comprises a quantity of plastinated plant distributed within a matrix material. The process comprises separating a plant material into plant fibers plastinating the plant fibers and combining the plastinated plant fibers with a matrix material. The plant fibers may be selected form the group consisting of bamboo, hemp and flax. The plant fibers may be formed by crushing a portion of a plant. The matrix material may comprise Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET). The PET may be shredded and heated. The heated composite material may be formed into rebar and be arranged in a pattern within a concrete slurry.
摘要:
Reinforcing fibers, such as aromatic polyamide (“aramid”) fibers, are treated by coating with or embedding in a binder such as a Fischer-Tropsch wax. The treated fibers are divided into suitably-sized units, which are added to bitumen, aggregate and other ingredients in an asphalt cement concrete mix. The units shed fibers into the mix during the manufacturing process so that the fibers are distributed fairly evenly throughout the asphalt mixture. The binder may also impart beneficial qualities to the finished asphalt concrete.
