A method for making concrete and concrete structures includes: providing a liquid admixture with a carbon nanomaterial in a liquid aqueous or organic solvent/compound mixture, mixing the liquid admixture with cement and water in a dosage selected to form a concrete mix having a carbon nanomaterial structure having individual carbon nanomaterial particles with a unit cell overlap, and hardening the concrete mix to form a concrete matrix with the carbon nanomaterial forming a 3-dimensional carbon nanomaterial network incorporated into the concrete matrix. The 3-dimensional carbon nanomaterial network has a shielding effect against high frequency electromagnetic pulses and other radiofrequency signals.

An inorganic mortar system for chemical fastening of an anchor in mineral substrates can contain at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8. The inorganic mortar system contains a curable aluminous cement component A and an initiator component B for initiating the curing process. Component A contains at least one blocking agent selected from boric acid, phosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid, and salts and mixtures thereof. Component B contains an initiator, at least one retarder, at least one mineral filler, and water. The use of at least one hard aggregate having a Mohs-hardness of greater than or equal to 8 in an inorganic mortar increases load values and reduces shrinkage. A method can be used for chemical fastening of an anchor, preferably of metal elements, in mineral substrates, such as structures made of brickwork, concrete, pervious concrete, or natural stone.

A method for recycling a used rotor blade of a wind turbine includes processing the used rotor blade into a plurality of material fragments.
