Minimize Paver Settlement

Overview Concrete paver are recommended to be placed over sand cushion. Sand placed on existing soil may result in intermixing of dissimilar soils, that can lead to settlement of paver. Laying Typar between existing soil and sand cushion provides a separation to ensures and preserve the function of sand layer. Typar stabilization and reinforcement function …

Cement Concrete Tiles

FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE – PAVEMENTS

Overview Design of concrete pavements has remained the same for decades, however with the traffic and axle loads on pavements have continued to multiply. In concrete pavement, critical stresses are developed due to the combined effect of flexural stresses due to wheel load and positive temperature differential leading to initiation of cracks. Adding fibers to …

Marine Concrete with Duracrete Fibre

Overview Concrete has micro cracking at the interface of aggregate and cement paste (A. M. Neville). Marine concrete is exposed to harsh environment of high winds laden with moisture, salts and fine sand that results in corrosion and surface erosion. To improve concrete durability, US Navy recommends micro reinforcement with fibrillated polypropylene fibres (UFGS-03 31 …

Railway Track

New Railway track and tracks renewal Railway track is areas with soft soils and high ground water levels are susceptible to settlement and requires regular maintenance for track alignment and safe transportation. Typar SF below ballast provides stabilization and separation to reduce impact of dynamic loading. Typar SF avoids ballast contamination by pumping effect due …
