Non-hydraulically reactive blended particulate compositions for use in making low carbon blended cement or low carbon concrete include a pozzolanic component having a first D90 and a mineral filler component having a second D90 greater than the first D90 dry blended without intergrinding, wherein the composition is free of hydraulic cement. The pozzolanic component can have a D90 less about 45 m and the mineral filler can have a D90 greater than about 45 m. The pozzolanic material can be fly ash, bottom ash, steel slag, silica fume, metakaolin, volcanic ash, natural pozzolan, calcined shale, calcined clay, and/or ground glass. The mineral filler component can be aggregate fines, quarry fines, limestone powder, granite fines, stone dust, rock dust, marble dust, mine tailings, pulverized bottom ash, pulverized metallurgical slag, ground recycled concrete, pulverized shale from shale oil extraction, or pulverized sand from tar sand extraction.

A reinforced composite product of concrete (14) reinforced by reinforcement mesh(s) (13, 13) of an aluminium alloy. where calcium hydroxide of the concrete is absent to avoid or reduce corrosion of the aluminium reinforcement by replacing cement with >35% active pozzolana and that the mesh can be made by slit-stretching or by punching a sheet aluminium metal. The aluminium mesh is advantageous for use as reinforcement in various concrete structures in corrosive environment and where traditional steel meshes are used today.

Disclosed are a cement coating for inducing the settlement of marine sessile organisms and an application technology therefor, and, in particular, a construction method for an ecological riprap breakwater, an induced cement-based coating, and a preparation method thereof. The cement coating for inducing the settlement of marine sessile organisms is coated on surfaces of rocks, and a reasonable spatial layout is applied, such that each rock pile (block) can effectively break waves and ensure smooth exchange between water bodies on two sides. After oysters attached to each rock pile (block) breed a large amount, the water bodies can be purified, and the ecological environment in the surrounding sea area can be improved.

A precipitated calcium carbonate derived from plant matter may be used in place of or in combination with cementitious materials in various products and methods of making such products. The product may be a concrete comprising water and an aggregate in addition to the precipitated calcium carbonate derived from plant matter. The product may also be a soil cement comprising soil in addition to the precipitated calcium carbonate derived from plant matter.
