Provided herein is an asphalt binder composition, and more particularly, an amine-containing asphalt binder composition capable of improving mixability between an asphalt binder and an aggregate, and compactibility and water resistance of an asphalt paving mixture. More particularly, the present invention relates to an asphalt binder composition capable of being used in hot mix asphalt for improving workability and/or stripping-resistance, warm-mix asphalt, recycling of reclaimed asphalt pavement, or the like.

Disclosed is a method for grinding a hydraulic binder, including: a) introducing:—a hydraulic binder, and—a composition B including at least one grinding aid B into the first chamber of a horizontal grinder including several chambers, including a first chamber and a last chamber, each chamber being separated from the adjacent chamber by a diaphragm, whereby a composition β including the hydraulic binder and composition B is obtained in the first chamber; and b) grinding composition β in the horizontal grinder, whereby composition β moves from the first chamber to the last chamber and a ground composition C is obtained at the outlet of the last chamber. At the grinding step, the method includes introducing into the last chamber a composition A including at least one grinding aid A including an aminoalcohol. Also disclosed is a corresponding grinding unit.

In a method for the 3D-printing of hydrous mineral binder compositions, an aqueous accelerator is mixed with the binder composition in a continuous mixer. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly print even large moulded bodies having a uniform aesthetic surface and very good strength development properties.

A concrete composition having an optimized formulation and suitable for 3-D printing is provided. The composition may include a hydraulic cement composition, aggregate, cement and/or aggregate by-product dust, one or more rheology modifiers, a plasticizer, fibers, and a sufficient amount of water to effect setting of the composition. Optionally the concrete composition may include a setting agent. A method for 3D printing multiple layers of the concrete composition is also provided.

The present application relates to a mixture comprising at least one compound A selected from glyoxylic acid, salts thereof, and condensation or addition products of glyoxylic acid or salts thereof; and at least one polyhydroxy compound B. Furthermore, the present application relates to a construction material composition comprising said mixture, and to the use of said mixture for modifying the hardening of inorganic binder containing building material formulations, and/or for producing building products.
