Abstract: The present invention is a specific combination of components having unique properties both in composition and benefits. Such a combination of portland cement type 1, fly ash type C in combination with a specific gradation of blast furnace slag and a specific gradation of fine aggregate in combination with a sodium lignosulfonic acid, sodium nitrate, sodium thiocyanate, triethanolamine, neutralized Vinsol resin and a coconut fatty acid diethanolamine.
Abstract: A formable matrix used as structural material and having an admixture of reinforcing non-metallic fibers to control deterioration and improve flexural strength. The fibers are fabricated with a cross section which provides a maximum ratio of surface to cross-sectional areas and increased frictional forces between fiber and matrix when the fiber is stressed. The disclosed embodiment of the fibers has a cross-sectional shape with a plurality of arms extending radially from the center, preferably with lobes formed at their outer ends.

Abstract: A formable matrix used as structural material and having an admixture of reinforcing non-metallic meltable fibers. The fibers have enlarged knob-like ends serving as anchors to enhance the bonding action between the fiber and the matrix. The admixture reduces freeze-thaw losses and improves flexural strength of the matrix. Several methods of forming the fiber end knobs are disclosed.
Abstract: A process for cooling sulfur-bearing slag while inhibiting the formation of hydrogen sulfide. An oxidant is mixed with the cooling water and the slag is brought into contact therewith, the solution cooling the slag to permit handling thereof while the oxidant inhibits the release of hydrogen sulfide.
