The invention relates to a method (100) for selecting the composition of a construction material including an excavated clay soil, said construction material composition to include deflocculating agent and activating agent quantities adapted to the excavated clay soil, said method including a step of receiving (130) a measured value of at least one physicochemical property of an excavated clay soil, and a step of selecting (170) a deflocculating agent quantity and an activating agent quantity adapted to the excavated clay soil. In addition, the invention also relates to a method (200) for calibrating a calculation algorithm for determining the composition of a site construction material, to a construction material formed from an excavated clay soil, and to a system (400) for preparing a construction material including an excavated clay soil.

Provided are a method for preparing a gel composite material with a piezoelectric property, and the gel composite material and use thereof, which belongs to the field of intelligent road traffic. In the method, titanium-containing blast furnace slag and metal oxides (PbO and ZrO.sub.2) are sufficiently and uniformly mixed, an obtained mixture is calcined under a certain thermal system, on the theoretical basis of mineral-phase reconstruction-synergistic regulation of all valuable components, and the mixture is cooled to a room temperature with a furnace to obtain the gel composite material with a piezoelectric property.

The invention relates to a product and method for repair of roadway or pavement damage such as potholes, concrete/asphalt joints, and other damage to paved surfaces. The product can be adjusted in terms of the cure time of the product, allowing the user to customize the product for best use in the particular repair being made. Fast cures can be obtained of 5 minutes or less, suitable for quick repair of a small defect in pavement, or the cure time can be extended to 60 or more minutes, suitable for larger projects that can take many hours to complete. The product, when mixed, handles like easily pourable concrete mix, but acts like a hot mix repair when cured.
