Abstract
A flowable concrete mixture which possesses high strength and which provides facile placement of the mixture in structural forms composed of cement glue and aggregates, the viscosity of the cement glue and volume weight of the aggregates being adjusted so that the aggregates are suspended in the cement glue and remain suspended until the cement glue hardens.
Claims4
In a concrete mixture for the production of steel reinforcing concrete or prestressed concrete suitable for use as water-tight floating bodies made of steel and concrete wherein cement glue composed of a mixture of cement and water is used to fill the hollow spaces between the pieces of a particulate aggregate and hold said aggregate together, the improvement consisting essentially of the volume of cement glue being larger than the volume required to fill the hollow spaces between the particulate aggregate alone and the viscosity of the cement glue, the particle size and the volume/weight ratio of the aggregate being adjusted so that the aggregate particles are suspended in the cement glue and remain suspended until the cement glue hardens and wherein the cement glue contains pozzolana as a filler for the formation of a matrix.
