Composition and method for making self adhering concrete and synthetic sedimentary rock from cementitious materials

2) A wide range of engineered applications are available based on the range of preferred embodiments and testing

3) Intermediate Bond layers for adhesion of conventional concrete may be engineered

4) Interpass layers between partially cured concrete pours on new construction would result in seamless extension of poured structures

5) The bond layer adhesion may be engineered to a range from simple chemical products such as magnesium carbonate or may be fully developed into synthetic mineral bond

6) The long range order of the crystal structures of a mineral bond can pass across an interface.

7) The manmade material can be applied to form technology to make bulk repairs or alterations to concrete

8) A fundamental method of creating an array of manmade based materials from industry approved concrete raw materials to create a novel variety of high strength, low permeability materials with the characteristics of a synthetic sedimentary rock has been created using materials outlined in preferred embodiments and testing.

9) The existence of synthetic sedimentary rock has been qualified using SEM/EDX, XRF and XRD methods

10) The extension of PCE plasticizer science shows that water to cement ratio is only a part of the phenomenon and plasticizers play a major role in the final product crystallinity and strength.

11) The use of sodium silicate formula, in this case the proprietary PMT, was successful in creating long range order in normally semi amorphous materials.

12) This manmade based product is the only proven method of creating synthetic materials in the carbonate and silicate families.

13) This manmade material demonstrates long range order consistent with extension of long range atomic order referred to in material science as crystallization.

14) This manmade material is suitable for industrial precasts including but not limited to where strength and low permeability to water or other liquids are desirable properties.

15) This man made material is suitable for insitu application including but not limited to where strength and low permeability to water are desirable properties.

16) This manmade material may be formulated to result in products that have a high aesthetic appeal useful in Art and Architecture where the PCE concentration may be varied for both strength, percentage of crystallization and Art considerations as need be

17) A reliable method of creating a thin overlay or forming material has been created for permanent repair of existing concrete surfaces by combining aspects of the previous two major claims as there are two separate surfaces performing different functions, adhesion, loadbearing while the volume of the material performs a separate function of structure and geometry.

18) Thin overlays may be adjusted to meet the local engineering requirements through engineering considerations under preferred embodiments

19) Engineering requirements can be tailored for surface finish, speed of return to service

20) When the manmade material is used for grouting applications, engineering requirements can be selected for the resultant grout to exhibit superior vibration resistance, water resistance as well as compressive strength.
