Abstract: A method is for manufacturing elements including hydraulic binder and aggregates. The method includes mixing a dry mortar composition including hydraulic binder and aggregates with water, to form a wet mortar. The method also includes pumping and conveying the wet mortar towards an outlet. During the conveying at least two physical properties of the wet mortar are measured on-line. The physical properties include viscosity and at least one of flow and density.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a concrete construction element by additive manufacturing, in which superposed mortar layers are successively deposited so as to form two wall surfaces, opposite one another, so as to form a cavity, as well as a plurality of reinforcement elements each extending from one of the wall surfaces toward the cavity, each reinforcement element being in contact with neither the wall surface opposite to that from which it extends, nor with a reinforcement element extending from the opposite wall surface to that from which it extends.

Abstract: The present invention is drawn to an aqueous polyurethane dispersion comprising: —anionic polyurethane particles comprising both free pending carboxylate groups of formula —COO?M+ where M+ is a cation resulting from neutralization of carboxylic acid groups with a base, and pending carboxylate ester groups resulting from esterification of free carboxylic acid groups with an epoxysilane, —crosslinking particles made of water-insoluble transition metal compounds. It is also drawn to a method of coating a substrate comprising applying such an aqueous polyurethane dispersion onto a substrate and letting it dry, preferably without applying any heat or radiation.

Abstract: A system implements a manufacturing method of construction elements including hydraulic binder and aggregates. The system includes a mixing device adapted to mix a dry mortar composition including hydraulic binders and aggregates with water, to form a wet mortar, an outlet, a pumping device adapted to pump and convey the wet mortar towards the outlet, and at least one sensor adapted to measure on-line at least two physical properties of the wet mortar on its way from the mixing device to the outlet, the physical properties including viscosity and at least one of flow and density.

Abstract: A hydraulic binder includes at least 70% by weight of a solid mineral compound consisting of at least one mixture of silica, alumina and alkaline-earth metal oxides, the total sum of CaO and MgO representing at least 10% by weight of the solid mineral compound, and an activation system of which at least 30% by weight is a phosphoric acid-derived salt. Construction products can obtained from a mortar composition including such a binder.

Abstract: The invention describes a phosphate-based inorganic binder obtained by reaction between at least one basic constituent and an acidic phosphate salt, in the presence of a retarder which is an X+A? salt, the solubility of which in an aqueous medium, measured at 25° C., is greater than that of the acidic phosphate salt, and in which: X+ is a cation chosen from alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, zinc, aluminium and the ammonium ion, and A? is an acetate, formate, benzoate, tartrate, oleate, oxalate, bromide or iodide anion.

Abstract: A binder for construction materials containing a ground granulated blast furnace slag and at least one mono-, di- or trivalent metal salt chosen from bismuth, copper, silver or tin salts. The salt is capable of forming, during mixing with said slag, a metal sulfide for which the solubility product KSP, measured at 25° C., is less than 10?10.
