A concrete product set by pouring a concrete slurry includes a) a concrete mixture; b) a graphene oxide admixture; and c) at least one reinforcing fiber selected from the group of fibers. As the poured concrete slurry cures, the poured slurry hardens into a composite material product, and the composite material is embedded with graphene oxide. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a concrete product. The process comprises the steps of a) preparing a concrete slurry with integral graphene oxide; b) pouring the concrete slurry; c) allowing the concrete slurry to cure; and d) optionally spray-applying graphene oxide and/or optional colloidal silica as a curing technique. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to the product itself; namely, a concrete product with fibers and embedded graphene oxide flakes.

An admixture for making a high-strength concrete with any type of water, including potable water, freshwater, saltwater, brackish water, reclaimed water or any other non-potable water. The admixture consists of basalt fibers, graphene nanoplatelets, calcium sulfide, calcium chloride, magnesium oxide and nanoclays. The admixture can be added to the cement to supplement it to increase the overall compressive strength, or the amount of cement used can be reduced by the amount of admixture added to shorten cure times. A concrete mix can also be prepared by replacing the calcium chloride with silica fume, reducing the amount of cement used, and introducing locally sourced aggregates, coarse and fine, to yield Ultra High Performance Concrete. Products made from the concrete incorporating the admixture have increased compression strength, improved cure times, reduced water consumption and corrosion, increased durability and workability, drastically reduced freeze-thaw effects, and superior crack control.

A concrete product set by pouring a concrete slurry includes a) a concrete mixture; b) a graphene oxide admixture; c) a colloidal silica admixture; and d) at least one reinforcing fiber selected from the group of fibers. As the poured concrete slurry cures, the poured slurry hardens into a composite material product, and the composite material defines capillary structures that at least in part fill with silica and lime, and the surrounding composite material is embedded with graphene oxide flakes. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a concrete product. The process comprises the steps of a) preparing a concrete slurry; b) pouring the concrete slurry; and c) allowing the concrete slurry to cure. In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention is directed to the product itself; namely, a concrete product with or without fibers, or to the admixture(s).
