Abstract: The present invention relates to a cementitious composition adapted to form mortars or cements comprising glass as an additive having reduced tendency to reaction with alkali, characterized in that said glass is obtained by grinding and subsequent washing with water.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing prism-shaped panels (1), each comprising through portions (55) made of translucent material adapted to transmit light between two opposite sides of the panel. The method includes arranging a plurality of elements (5, 5?, 5?) made of translucent material in a formwork so that the main direction of development (500) of such elements is parallel to the vertical direction of development (203) of the formwork. The method includes pouring cementitious mortar into said formwork (4) so that said cementitious mortar is distributed between said elements and so as to generate, after the hardening of said cementitious mortar, a substantially prism-shaped semi-finished cementitious mortar product (2) in which said elements made of translucent material are incorporated.

Abstract: The invention has as object a cementitious composition for forming mortars or concretes having reduced tendency to react with alkali, characterized in that it comprises as additive at least a compound of general formula: [R—N—(CH2—COOH)n]x??(I) R being an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon chain, n=2 or 3 and x=1 or 2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composite panel (10) based on cementitious mortar, passed through its entire thickness by a plurality of through openings (11), each of which is filled with a material transparent to light in the form of a preformed plate (12) housed in said opening (11), or formed in said opening, wherein said cement-based mortar contains at least 30 kg/m 3 of fibers selected from one or more of the following types: metallic fibers, steel fibers, glass fibers, polymeric resin fibers. The invention also relates to methods of production of said panel.

Abstract: Solid mixture for the preparation of concrete which after 16 hours has a mechanical resistance higher or equal to 50 MPa comprising cement and limestone aggregates, substantially lacking latent hydraulic activity, characterized by the presentation of a specific granulometric distribution curve.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a composite cement paving with photocatalytic action for reducing urban polluting agents, composed of a bituminous or cement foundation, a resin having the function of interface, a superficial cement layer with photocatalytic properties able to reduce organic and inorganic polluting agents, said paving also comprising reinforcing materials and possible suitably positioned fibrous materials. The paving thus realised presents a strong photocatalytic action, prolonged overtime, even in the presence of high mechanical stress caused by heavy traffic.
