To repair reinforced concrete easily and at low cost. An anticorrosion method includes infiltrating an anticorrosion solution held inside concrete of reinforced concrete into a vicinity of a reinforcing bar through the concrete to passivate the reinforcing bar, detecting that the anticorrosion solution is infiltrated to a surface of the concrete, and discharging, after detecting the anticorrosion solution, the anticorrosion solution to outside of the concrete to form an anticorrosive coating on a surface of the reinforcing bar.

Disclosed is a method for preparing an uncalcined geopolymer-based refractory material. The method includes the steps of mixing a mineral powder, a fly ash, a metakaolin, and silicon carbide whiskers by ball milling to form a milled material; mixing the milled material with a sodium water glass solution and water to form a slurry; and curing the slurry to obtain the uncalcined geopolymer-based refractory material. The uncalcined geopolymer-based refractory material thus prepared contains a geopolymer matrix formed of the mineral powder, the fly ash, and the metakaolin and the silicon carbide whiskers embedded in the geopolymer matrix.

The present invention provides a method and system for manufacturing cement wherein ground particles of cement and calcium sulfate are subjected to infrared sensors, laser sensors, or both, so that emanated, irradiated, transmitted, and/or absorbed energy having wavelengths principally within the range of 700 nanometers to 1 millimeter can be monitored and compared to stored data previously obtained from ground cement and sulfate particles and preferably correlated with stored strength, calorimetric, or other data values, such that adjustments can be made to the mill processing conditions, such as the form or amounts of calcium sulfate (e.g., gypsum, plaster, anhydride), or cement additive levels. The strength and other properties of cement can be thus adjusted, and its quality can be more uniform.

Luminescent concrete compositions containing cement, fine aggregates such as sand, and a phosphor such as strontium aluminate. Glow-in-the-dark concrete products made therefrom and methods of producing such concrete products are also specified. The glow-in-the-dark concrete products demonstrate good mechanical strength (e.g. compressive strength) and skid resistance. The addition of phosphorescent strontium aluminate provides luminance that persists for up to 10 hours to the concrete products.
