Publication number: 20210070658Abstract: A composite ultra-high performance porcelain concrete includes cement in an amount between 500 and 680 kg/m3; and porcelain sand in an amount between 500 and 1200 kg/m3. The porcelain sand replaces a portion of cement which would normally be needed, thereby reducing environmental impact of the cement, and also creating a beneficial use for waste porcelain source material. The disclosure also relates to a method for producing thin-walled composites CA-UHPPC facade panels and elements for building envelopes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2019Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicant: TAKTL LLCInventor: George Quercia

Publication number: 20170057871Abstract: Cement composition suitable for cementing a well and method of preparing the cement composition are disclosed. The cement composition has cement, water and biodegradable polymeric elastomeric resin (BPR) as an additive. The BPR has a significantly lower elastic modulus than that of set cement. Other additives such as bond enhancer and/or foaming agent may also be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: George Quercia BIANCHI, Karen LUKE
