Abstract
A composite cementitious feedstock includes mineral rock agglutinates, super absorbent polymer (SAP) particles, cement particles, and a binder. Each of the agglutinates has irregular surface regions and cavities originating at the irregular surface regions. At least a portion of the SAP particles and cement particles are disposed on the irregular surface regions and in the cavities. The binder coheres the agglutinates, SAP particles, and cement particles.

A construction method using a composite cementitious feedstock, comprising the steps of:
- providing a dry-state composite cementitious feedstock that includes
- mineral rock agglutinates, each of said agglutinates having irregular surface regions and cavities originating at said irregular surface regions,
- super absorbent polymer (SAP) particles, wherein at least a portion of said SAP particles are disposed on said irregular surface regions and in said cavities,
- cement particles, wherein at least a portion of said cement particles are disposed on said irregular surface regions and in said cavities, and
- a binder for cohering said agglutinates, said SAP particles, and said cement particles;
- transporting said dry-state composite cementitious feedstock to a construction location;
- and
- dissipating said binder at the construction location.
