Abstract
Concrete products and mixes with reinforcing carbon graphite fibers, the carbon fibers being provided in the form of resin coated warped beam fabric, and a method for producing reinforced concrete products, where semi-cured carbon fibers are mixed with concrete and then cured through the hydration step to result in the formation of strengthened concrete products.
Claims22
A concrete product comprising concrete and carbon fibers,
- wherein the carbon fibers comprise carbon fibers evenly dispersed throughout the concrete product, the carbon fibers being semi-cured carbon fibers prior to the concrete product curing.
A dry concrete mix to be mixed with water to form a slurry, the mix comprising cement and carbon fibers, wherein the carbon fiber comprise semi-cured carbon fibers.
A method of reinforcing concrete, comprising the steps of
- mixing cement, unidirectional carbon fibers semi-cured with a resinous binder, and water together to form a slurry, wherein the carbon fibers semi-cured with a resinous binder are dispersed evenly throughout the slurry, and
- letting the slurry set in a form to form bonds between the cement and the carbon fibers, thereby obtaining reinforced concrete.
