Abstract
The invention is in the field of construction and can be used for constructing industrial floors and foundation slabs. The offered composite concrete mixture, comprising cement, sand-stone mixture, water, plasticizer, nano-size pozzolans, shrinkage reducing additive, and steel and/or synthetic fibers, allows the construction of thin, completely jointless without limitation of area, large composite concrete slabs, with no observable shrinkage cracks or curling.
Claims9

- cement, being CEMI, CEMII or CEMIII cement type containing at least 75% of clinker:
- 240-360 kg;
- water:
- 110-165 kg;
- sand-stone mixture with particle size to 16 mm:
- 1700-1900 kg;
- plasticizer:
- 0.5-2% of the cement content;
