The present invention relates to a pipe for transporting gas, notably carbon dioxide, comprising at least one tubular element, tubular element (1) consisting of a juxtaposition of concentric layers comprising, from inside to outside, at least one sealing layer (5), a wall including a prestressed concrete layer (6) and at least one circumferential mechanical reinforcement layer (8). Furthermore, the concrete making up prestressed concrete layer (6) is selected from among the ultra-high performance fibre-reinforced concretes (UHPFRC).

The present invention provides a structure protection sheet capable of dramatically reducing a construction period to place protective layers on surfaces of structures such as concrete, protecting the structures for a long time, preventing swelling phenomena caused by water vapor inside the concrete, and preventing a decrease in attachability. The present invention relates to a structure protection sheet including: a polymer cement cured layer on a side facing a structure; and a resin layer on the polymer cement cured layer, the structure protection sheet having a water vapor transmission rate of 10 to 50 g/m.sup.2.Math.day.

Embodiments relate to use of a solution having low molarity to form a mixture with a ceramic compound that will facilitate formation of a sintered ceramic compact exhibiting grain boundary formation, low porosity, adequate compressive strength, and adequate hardness to be used as a precast block 108 for cement.

An article may include a substrate including a ceramic or a ceramic matrix composite. The substrate defines a hot side surface configured to face a heated gas environment and a cool side surface opposite the hot side surface. The article also includes a cool side coating on the cool side surface. The cool side coating comprises at least one material having a flow temperature equal to or slightly less than a temperature of the heated gas environment.

Disclosed is a concrete product incorporating rubber aggregate produced by casting under pressure. The concrete product may optionally be cast at 6.9-27.7 MPa for periods of, for example, 24 hours. In one embodiment the rubber aggregate may comprise coarse and/or fine rubber aggregate to replace natural sources of coarse and fine aggregate. Casting under pressure was found to generally improve the performance characteristics of the concrete when compared to corresponding concrete cast without pressure.
