An adhesive for moss and a method for preparing the adhesive are provided, wherein the method includes steps of: adding melamine, urea, attapulgite and sepiolite powder into a ball milling tank, and adding milling balls into the ball milling tank for ball milling; then collecting ball-milled materials; adding konjac glucomannan, chitosan and collagen into water and stirring, wherein during stirring, half of the ball-milled materials are added into the water; then adding latex powder, stearic acid and ammonium zirconium carbonate, and stirring, wherein during stirring, the other half of the ball-milled materials are added into the water. The adhesive for moss can be used for bonding moss with sufficient bonding effect, which is environment-friendly and will not harm the moss; meanwhile, the konjac glucomannan, the chitosan, the collagen attapulgite and the sepiolite powder which are contained in the adhesive can provide nutrition for the moss.

A precast concrete structure formed of a cementitious mixture is provided, the cementitious mixture comprising a mixture of: (a) cement, (b) silica fume, (c) supplemental material (limestone and/or slag), (d) masonry sand, (e) water and ice (f) plasticizers and (g) workability admixtures. The result is an improved concrete for use in the formation of long span bridge elements that are simple and safe to manufacture and having improved properties. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Synthetic pozzolans are produced using local materials to provide a cementitious material that is uniform in chemistry and properties independent of the location where the materials are obtained. Two methods of production are described. One is a high temperature process in which materials are processed in a semi-molten or molten state. The second process is a low temperature aqueous process.
