Benefits of technology

[0017]The present invention proposes a solution to overcome the various drawbacks of WO 2011 / 053103. The concrete mix designs according to the present invention are not limited to shrinkage resistance enhancement using shrinkage reducers and synthetic fibers for this unique goal and true structural properties to be used in structural engineering for decks, bridges, pillars, etc. Also, the fiber reinforced fresh concrete mix designs according to the invention are engineered to comply with industrial production requirements, they are produced in conventional concrete mixing plants, can be transported over large distance since they have a high workability retention and do not need special curing techniques once placed.
[0126]Concrete Concrete is primarily a combination of hydraulic binder, sand, fine and / or coarse aggregates, water. Admixture can also be added to provide specific properties such as flow, lower water content, acceleration . . . .

Problems solved by technology

Amongst others, one important disadvantage of the patent application WO 2011 / 053103 is the requirement to prepare a separate slurry containing water, cement and all shrinkage reducers and plasticizers (or water reducers admixture—namely powdered melamine or phosphonates), or fillers as well as fillers.
A further important drawback of the invention according to WO 2011 / 053103 is the fact that the final placed concrete has to be cured using water after placing.
An additional drawback of the invention according to WO 2011 / 053103 is that the volume of paste is very low to ensure limited shrinkage and avoid cracking, thus reducing the scope of application and placement properties and well as the level of mechanical resistances that can be achieved, both in terms of compressive strength and in terms of flexural strength or ductility.
