Patent number: 5961712Abstract: The invention provides cementitious mixtures, particularly for use as shotcrete binding materials. The resultant shotcrete has characteristics of rapid setting as low as 5 to 10 minutes, high early compressive strength (5 to 25 MPa in two hours curing, 20 to 60 MPa in one day curing), high permanent compressive strength and negligible shrinkage. High aluminous content roasted cement clinkers with gypsum, anhydrite, lime, limestone, bentonite and other additives are used in the mixtures. There are especially suitable for use in shotcrete engineering. The methods of using the improved shotcrete are similar to those of using Portland cement, with significantly decreased rebound at site.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1996Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: Sungeric International, Inc.Inventors: Henghu Sun, Shuqin Li, Weirui Xu

Patent number: 5853473Abstract: A patching composition in the form of a putty composition for application to concrete surfaces. The composition comprises a substantial portion of a conventional cement, such as a Portland cement, and a silica sand selected to have the right consistency and density along with calcium oxide. The composition is then mixed in water and applied to voids or holes in a concrete wall. The composition, when applied as a single coating and fully cured, results in an appearance similar to that of the concrete and provides strength characteristics substantially equivalent to that of the original concrete.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1997Date of Patent: December 29, 1998Inventor: Harold Donaldson

Patent number: 5788761Abstract: A process in which the conventional sulfate components in an aerated concrete mixture, such as gypsum, semihydrate or anhydrite, are replaced at least in part by calcium aluminum sulfates and/or calcium aluminate sulfate hydrates. As a result, agglomeration of the lime, retardation of the lime hydration, and aftergrowth of the cut aerated concrete cakes are reduced or even ruled out. In addition, the number of molds used can be reduced with the process in accordance with the invention, whereby the use of one single mold is achievable.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1996Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Ytong AktiengesellschaftInventors: Dieter Hums, Klaus F.

Patent number: 5741357Abstract: A hydraulic cement composition is disclosed which utilizes as part of an expansive component novel coated particles of high alumina cement. The particles have a core of substantially unhydrated high alumina cement and an outer layer of hydration products of the core, which outer layer delays the reaction of the particles with other materials in the composition. By varying the nature and relative amounts of the coated particles the amount the cement composition may expand and the setting time of the cement may be varied. The coated particles may be formed by partial hydration, drying and grinding of a mixture of high alumina cement powder alone with water.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1995Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Inventor: Shamim A.
