A pavement repair system is provided utilizing solid phase auto regenerative cohesion and homogenization by liquid asphalt oligopolymerization technologies. The system is suitable for use in repairing asphalt pavement, including pavement exhibiting a high degree of deterioration (as manifested in the presence of potholes, cracks, ruts, or the like) as well as pavement that has been subject to previous repair and may comprise a substantial amount of dirt and other debris (e.g., chipped road paint or other damaged or disturbed surfacing materials). A system utilizing homogenization by liquid asphalt oligopolymerization is suitable for rejuvenating or repairing aged asphalt, thereby improving properties of the paving material.

The invention relates to a decorative panel suitable for assembling a floor, ceiling or wall covering by interconnecting a plurality of said panels with each other. The panel has a substantially planar top surface, and a substantially planar bottom surface, at least four substantially linear side edges of which at least one pair of side edges are provided with interconnecting coupling means for interconnecting one panel with another, the panel having a laminated structure including a core layer having an upper side and a lower side and a decorative top layer connected to the upper side of the core layer. The core layer includes a layer of a cementitious mineral material which includes a cement and a dispersant. The invention further relates to a decorative covering, in particular a decorative floor covering, decorative ceiling covering, or decorative wall covering, including a plurality of interconnected decorative panels.

A method of installing a binder-based overlay system may include contacting a layer of geotextile fabric to a surface of a substrate and applying a primer layer to a surface of the geotextile fabric. Two or more binder layers including infill particles may be applied over the primer layer. A resurfacer layer followed by one or more color layers may be applied over the two or more binder layers. The primer layer, one or more binder layers, resurfacer layer, and two or more color layers may cure upon application to form a monolithic layer upon the substrate.

A composite structure having a solid-phase concrete base-substrate component; a mesh component having non-woven solid-phase polymeric strands that are fused together to form a three-dimensional structure having a thickness of at least three millimeters, the thickness being defined as the greatest normal distance between the mesh-component first side and second opposing side, at least a portion of the polymeric strands that make up the mesh-component first side are embedded into and thereby attached to the solid-phase concrete base-substrate component; a substantially planar component having first and second sides, wherein the substantially planar-component first side is attached to the mesh-component second side; and an adhesive-layer component having a first and second surface, wherein the adhesive-layer component first surface is in contact with and attached to the second side of the substantially planar component, and wherein the adhesive-layer second surface is in contact with and attached to a first surface of a polyvinylchloride or polyvinylchloride-containing exterior sheet.

An impact resistant exterior sheathing gypsum building panel with an integrated impact resistant woven mesh which protects against impact from projectiles such as those conveyed by hurricane force winds is provided. Methods for manufacturing these exterior sheathing gypsum building panels with an integrated impact resistant woven mesh are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious building panel is provided.

A high toughness inorganic composite artificial stone panel and preparation method are disclosed. The panel includes a surface layer, an intermediate metal fiber toughening layer and a substrate toughening layer. The surface layer includes the following components: 40-70 parts of quartz sand, 10-30 parts of quartz powder, 20-45 parts of inorganic active powder, 0.5-4 parts of pigment, 0.3-1 part of water reducer and 3-10 parts of water. The intermediate metal fiber toughening layer includes the following components: 40-60 parts of inorganic active powder, 45-65 parts of sand, 0.8-1.5 parts of water reducer, 6-14 parts of water and 4-8 parts of metal fiber. The substrate toughening layer includes the following components: 30-50 parts of inorganic active powder, 30-55 parts of quartz sand, 15-20 parts of quartz powder, 0.5-1.2 parts of water reducer, 4-8 parts of water and 0.8-2.5 parts of toughening agent.

A cementitious composite for in-situ hydration includes a first layer, a second layer, a cementitious mixture, and an adhesive layer. The cementitious mixture is disposed along the first layer. The cementitious mixture includes a plurality of cementitious particles. The second layer is disposed along the cementitious mixture, opposite the first layer. The adhesive layer is positioned to secure at least one of (i) the first layer to the cementitious mixture, (ii) the second layer to the cementitious mixture, and (iii) the first layer and the second layer together. The first layer and the second layer are configured to at least partially prevent the plurality of cementitious particles from migrating out of the cementitious composite.

Provided is a pre-applied waterproofing membrane having a waterproofing adhesive layer and an outer particle layer comprising synthetic polymer granules to protect the adhesive layer and to facilitate detailing at membrane-to-membrane overlaps. In preferred embodiments, the synthetic polymer granules are made from polymers selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl acetate, acrylic, and styrene butadiene copolymers or polymers. Most preferably, the synthetic polymer granules have round or spherical shapes that help to facilitate detailing at the building or installation site, such as sealing at membrane overlaps, and sealing around pipes or other details. Alternatively, the membranes may be made having side edges which are free of synthetic polymer granules, whereby a removable release liner strip can be used to prevent adhesive from sticking to the back of the membrane when the membrane is rolled up on itself for shipment.
