CONCRETE PRODUCT AND METHODS OF PREPARING THE SAME
20250205927 · 2025-06-26 · ·

A concrete product set by pouring a concrete slurry includes a concrete mixture, an aluminum-coated colloidal silica admixture, and optionally, 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 concrete product defines capillary structures that at least in part fill with aluminum-coated silica and lime. Optional graphene oxide may be used in the concrete slurry, in which embodiment the surrounding aggregate and cement is embedded with graphene oxide flakes. A process for placing a jointless and/or fiberless slab made from the concrete product includes preparing a concrete slurry, pouring the concrete slurry onto substrate, and allowing the concrete slurry to cure.

Mobile volumetric concrete-production system

A quality control system of the invention allows controlling, image analysis and continuous visual monitoring of aggregates and sand processing, and physical properties and workability of fresh concrete and concrete mixes, which are manufactured from the aggregates and sand, and then transported to construction sites and used there for construction purposes. The system of the invention comprises visual monitoring devices (100), stationary or mobile, installed or remotely used at quarries, concrete plants, in concrete trucks and at the construction sites. The method for continuous visual monitoring of the aggregates, sand and concrete is based on image or video processing and analysis of the aggregates and sand, fresh concrete, concrete mixes or precast concrete, the concrete slump levels, segregation and bleeding, homogeneity of the mixture and consistency.
