  • Publication number: 20230139047
    Abstract: Disclosed is a concrete product incorporating rubber aggregate produced by casting under pressure. The concrete product may optionally be cast at 6.9-27.7 MPa for periods of, for example, 24 hours. In one embodiment the rubber aggregate may comprise coarse and/or fine rubber aggregate to replace natural sources of coarse and fine aggregate. Casting under pressure was found to generally improve the performance characteristics of the concrete when compared to corresponding concrete cast without pressure.

  • Patent number: 11186991
    Abstract: The present invention provides an early warning device and a ductility control method for a prestressed FRP reinforced structure. By setting a tensioning screw, prestressed reinforcement can be converted into non-prestressed reinforcement when tensioning screw failure occurs, and the structure is still in a safe state. This can improve the bearing capacity and ductility of the reinforced structure, while the ductility can be controlled and designed, thereby resolving the problem of easy disconnection and brittle failure between the FRP and anchors, and greatly improving FRP utilization and structural safety.
