In the mining industry, reinforced concrete is used widely in support structures (columns, beams and retaining walls), floors, channels and ore shoots, pipes, drains and tanks. In the mining of ...

Over the last two decades, new water-soluble monocyclic aromatic (MA) polymers have been developed: sulfonated phenol–formaldehyde polymer (SPF), aminosulfonate–phenol–formaldehyde polymer (AS) and ...

Concrete‐fiber reinforced polymer composite structures represent a significant advancement in civil engineering, merging the compressive resilience of concrete with the tensile reinforcement of ...

A study published in Journal of Railway Science and Technology developed a class of polymer fiber-reinforced concrete that mitigates brittle behavior under low vacuum conditions. Using acoustic ...

Concrete is the most prevalent building material on the planet, and though the world would be pretty flat without it (not many tall buildings and structures), it does come at a price – around 5-8 ...

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Vol. 7, No. 1 (January to June 2013), pp. 164-175 (12 pages) Abstract: Rehabilitation and strengthening of old structures using advanced materials is a ...

Beneath its historic colonial charm, Charleston, S.C. had an underground sewer system in need of repair. Engineers at U.S. Composite Pipe (Alvarado, Texas) devised a solution that included unique cast ...

Researchers have discovered how to make concrete from recycled glass - by turning it back into sand. A team from Australia were able to turn the waste into a replacement for industrial flooring - ...

The global Concrete Containing Polymer Market is gearing up for a decade of strong growth, with its valuation projected to ...
