Provided are a textile reinforced cement composite for suppressing occurrence of slipping and a crack and a manufacturing method thereof. The textile reinforced cement composite for suppressing occurrence of slipping and a crack can suppress slipping between a textile grid reinforcement and a cement composite by using an angulated filling material mixed therewith when a textile reinforced cement composite having a textile grid reinforcement embedded in a cement composite is manufactured, suppress occurrence of a crack of the cement composite, suppress occurrence of a crack of the cement composite due to a fiber bridging reaction by using organic fiber mixed therewith, induce distribution of fine cracks, suppress degradation of fluidity of the cement composite caused by mixing of the angulated filling material by using a spherical binder and a chemical admixture added thereto, and suppress slipping between the textile grid reinforcement and the cement composite by using a fine powder binder having a predetermined particle size and mixed therewith.

An ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with waste brick powder and preparation method and application thereof are provided, which relates to the technical field of concrete. The preparation method includes the following steps: stimulating activity of a brick powder by a method of mechanically stimulating activity to obtain waste brick powder; and preparing UHPC according to a mass ratio of cement to waste brick powder of 5:5-7:3 to obtain the UHPC with waste brick powder. The UHPC is prepared by treating waste bricks from construction waste (mechanically stimulating activity) to make waste brick powder with activity, therefore partially replacing cement. The UHPC is applied in a construction field.

It has been unexpectedly discovered that the addition of a natural or other pozzolan to non-spec coal ash significantly improves the properties of the non-spec coal ash to the extent it can be certified under ASTM C618 and AASHTO 295, as either a Class F or Class C coal ash. The natural pozzolan may be a volcanic ejecta, such as pumice or perlite. Other pozzolans may also be used for this beneficiation process. Many pozzolans are experimentally tested and may be used to beneficiate non-spec coal ash into certifiable Class F coal ash. Additionally, this disclosure provides a method of converting a Class C coal ash to a more valuable Class F coal ash. This discovery will extend diminishing Class F coal ash supplies and turn non-spec coal ash waste streams into valuable, certified coal ash pozzolan which will protect and enhance concrete, mortars and grouts.

Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a cementitious material, a pozzolanic material, aplite, and an aqueous fluid. Also disclosed herein is a method of servicing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation, comprising: placing the composition into the wellbore; and allowing the composition to form a set cement. The composition can develop suitable mechanical properties and permeability after setting in a wellbore and be expansive.

The present invention relates to an artificial marble having a total transmittance of 6 or greater and 20 or less when the total transmittance is measured using a turbidimeter (NDH 5000 available from Nippon Denshoku) for an artificial marble sample with a size of 7 cm in width, 7 cm in length, and 1.5 cm in thickness.

A binder for use in leaching a heap of a low-permeability ore containing at least one of the following: copper ore, copper/cobalt ore, nickel laterite ore and uranium ore, wherein the binder comprises an acid-proof cement formed by modifying ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with a supplementary cementitious material (SCM).
