A multi-component inorganic capsule anchoring system can be used for chemically fastening anchors, bolts, screw anchors, screw bolts, and post-installed reinforcing bars in mineral substrates. The multi-component inorganic capsule anchoring system contains a curable powdery ground-granulated blast-furnace slag-based component A, and an initiator component B in aqueous-phase for initiating a curing process. The powdery ground-granulated blast-furnace slag-based component A contains further silica dust. The component B contains an alkali-silicate component and optionally a plasticizer.

Disclosed is a preparation method of a polycarboxylate water reducer having a regular sequence structure. The preparation method of the present invention comprises: performing Michael addition on polyethylene glycol ether acrylate macromonomer A and amino-containing carboxylic acid B for 5-12 hours, then cooling to 0° C., dropwise adding acryloyl chloride slowly and evenly, and further reacting for 12 hours at room temperature to obtain carboxyl-containing polyether macromonomer C; mixing the carboxyl-containing polyether macromonomer C, a small molecular RAFT reagent, an initiator, and water adequately; and holding the polymerization mass concentration at 30%-60% and heating to 60-80° C. in the atmosphere of N2 to react for 2-5 hours to obtain the polycarboxylate water reducer having a regular sequence structure.

The present invention allows for better control over strength in concrete mixes and mix designs, while minimizing the over-use of cement and promoting sustainability within the industry. Disclosed are novel method and system which employ a diagnostic delta data (DDD) curve, or, in other words, data that displays a curvilinear relationship when plotted on a visual graph, as obtained by considering the differences (e.g., subtractive differences or ratios) as between (i) target slump and target (or maximum) water content, and (ii) slump and water content values as determined using an automated slump monitoring system which measures slump and water content in the concrete mix during delivery. This DDD curve can then be compared to monitored delta slump and delta water content for later or other deliveries, such that adjustments can be made to the concrete mix or mix design, in a manner that encourages avoidance of cement over-dosing or over-prescription.
