Disclosed are concrete curing blankets having two or more channels. The channels extend longitudinally and are formed by fluid-tight seals, where all of the layers of the blanket are bonded together. The concrete curing blankets are placed over poured and curing concrete to maintain high water content in the concrete during curing and to accelerate the concrete curing and hardening processes.

The present description relates to methods of producing a wet-cast slag-based concrete product particularly where the wet-cast slag-based concrete product is cast, pre-conditioned and cured with carbon dioxide inside a mould and/or inside a mould placed in a curing chamber. The wet-cast slag-based concrete product is optionally reinforced.

A lightweight veneer system and method for producing a construction material that simulates the appearance of natural finishes such as stone, brick, or exposed concrete while providing improved technical characteristics. The system incorporates a precise sequence of mixing water, acrylic polyester resin, recycled ground glass, calcium carbonate, fiberglass, and iron oxides for coloration, followed by the addition of white or gray cement and plaster. The specialized process involves treating molds with release agents and pigments to ensure natural-looking textures and colors. The material is then poured into molds, vibrated to remove air pockets, and cured in a controlled environment to achieve optimal hardness and moisture content. The final product is significantly lighter than conventional materials, offering advantages in transportation and installation. This environmentally conscious method includes recycling of both water and defective materials back into the production process, emphasizing sustainability alongside industrial efficiency.

Disclosed are fibers which include silver particles as incorporated into textile at low concentrations to render the textiles as bactericidal in accordance with various standards including government standards.

Disclosed are dry methods of making a composite concrete material using a water-free precursor composition. Also disclosed herein are composite concrete materials.

A steam utilization system for producing a concrete pipe pile includes a steam conveying device, a steam curing pool, a plurality of reaction vessels, a steam generating device, a first steam distributor, a first pressure booster, a second pressure booster and a blowdown flash tank. A high-pressure steam inlet of the first steam distributor is communicated with the steam generating device, and a first steam inlet of the first pressure booster is communicated with a first high-pressure steam outlet of the first steam distributor. A second steam inlet of the first pressure booster is communicated with the steam conveying device, the steam outlet of the first booster is communicated with the steam inlet of each reaction vessel, a first steam inlet of a second pressure booster is communicated with the first steam distributor, a second steam inlet of the second pressure booster is communicated with the blowdown flash tank.

An automated concrete cube processing system. The system comprises a curing stage including a water tank arranged to facilitate curing of a plurality of concrete cubes for a predetermined period of time; a drying stage arranged to facilitate drying of the plurality of concrete cubes upon completion of curing process; a measurement stage arranged to facilitate measuring of dimensions and a weight of each of the plurality of concrete cubes; a compression stage arranged to facilitate undertaking of a compressive strength test on each of the plurality of concrete cubes; and a transportation module arranged to transfer the plurality of concrete cubes among different stages.

A reinforced, permeable pavement composition, including a first quantity of a porous asphalt material, and a second quantity of cured carbon fiber composite material (CCFCM) particles, the CCFCM particles can have a particle size smaller than 3.35 mm and the composition can have a porosity between 15% and 35%.

The present description relates to a method of producing a wet-cast slag-based concrete product particularly where the wet-cast slag-based concrete product is partially or completely set inside a mould, pre-conditioned outside of the mould and then cured with carbon dioxide in a curing chamber. The wet-cast slag-based concrete product is optionally reinforced.

A decorative concrete with a very uniform finish surface and a method of fabricating the same is disclosed. A concrete mixture is poured over a subgrade which defines an exposed surface. The exposed surface is finished with any of several techniques, and the surface is then worked with an abrasive material, and additional techniques are used to color and seal the concrete.
