    Abstract: Design optimization methods can be used to design concrete mixtures having optimized properties, including desired strength and slump at minimal cost. The design optimization methods use a computer-implemented process that is able to design and virtually "test" millions of hypothetical concrete compositions using mathematical algorithms that interrelate a number of variables that affect strength, slump, cost and other desired features. The design optimization procedure utilizes a constant K (or K factor) within Feret's strength equation that varies (e.g., logarithmically) with concrete strength for any given set of raw material inputs and processing equipment. That means that the binding efficiency or effectiveness of hydraulic cement increases with increasing concentration so long as the concrete remains optimized. The knowledge of how the K factor varies with binding efficiency and strength is a powerful tool that can be applied in multiple circumstances. A concrete manufacturing process may include accurately measuring the raw materials to minimize variation between predicted and actual strength, as well as carefully controlling water content throughout the manufacturing and delivery process.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cementitious composite includes: (1) forming mixing an extrudable cementitious composition by first forming a fibrous mixture comprising fibers, water and a rheology modifying agent and then adding hydraulic cement; (2) extruding the extrudable cementitious composition into a green extrudate, wherein the green extrudate is characterized by being form-stable and retaining substantially a predefined cross-sectional shape; (3) removing a portion of the water by evaporation to reduce density and increase porosity; and (4) causing or allowing the hydraulic cement to hydrate to form the cementitious composite. Such a process yields a cementitious composite that is suitable for use as a wood substitute. The wood-like building products can be sawed, nailed and screwed like ordinary wood.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus (50) for continuously extruding a hydraulically settable mixture (52) and simultaneously placing continuous filaments (64) within the extruding mixture (52) to yield articles having a filament-reinforced, hydraulically settable matrix. The filaments (64) can be placed within the mixtures (52) in a parallel configuration, a helical configuration, or combinations thereof in order to yield an article having the desired properties of, e.g., tensile strength, flexural strength, hoop strength, burst strength, toughness, and elongation ability. The desired properties of the hydraulically settable mixture (52), as well as of the cured hydraulically settable matrix of the hardened article, may also be adjusted by including varying amounts and types of aggregates, discontinuous fibers, binders, rheology-modifying agents, dispersants, or other admixtures within the hydraulically settable mixture (52). Optimizing the particle packing density while including a deficiency of water yields a hydraulically settable mixture (52) which will flow when an extrusion pressure is applied but be form stable upon being extruded.
