This disclosure is directed to an improved ballistic construct including ballistic concrete cured in a ballistic fiberglass mold, where the ballistic fiberglass mold remains part of the construct after curing. The fiberglass ballistic construct is stronger than concrete alone and does not significantly increase the weight of the construct. The improved construct is useful for firearms training and in the erecting of bulletproof structures which need ballistics protection.

A method for manufacturing a binder of a hydratable material includes providing a starting material from one or more raw materials convertible by tempering at 600 to 1200° C. into the hydratable material and tempering the starting material to provide the hydratable material containing not more than 10% by weight monocalcium silicate and at least 15% by weight hydratable phases in the form of lime and dicalcium silicate. The residence time and the tempering temperature are adapted to obtain the hydratable material by converting not more than 80% by weight of the starting material, and the hydratable material is then cooled to provide the binder comprising the hydratable material. The binder can be mixed with water and optionally one or more of aggregate, additives, admixtures to obtain a binder paste that is placed, hydrated and carbonated to produce a building product.

A method of making a composition material comparable to strength with regular concrete but with a lower weight and thermal conductivity is provided. The process includes forming a first composition from a foam admixture of a first cementitious slurry and foam. This first composition is set and then pulverized to a fine dust. The fine dust is then added to a second cementitious slurry, producing a lightweight and insulative composition material for construction applications.
