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 …
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 …
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 …
Overview Industrial flooring is exposed to variety of stresses including surface abrasion, impact and vibratory loads concentrated at the edge of the machines. Concrete by nature is brittle and tends to cracks. Adding micro-3-dimensional reinforcement improves the performance of the flooring by reducing cracks up to 80%. Duracrete Fibre has been is use for almost …
FRENCH DRAINS: Groundwater traveling under your foundation can lead to a number of long-term issues. If you’re experiencing basement flooding, foundation damage, or rainwater drainage issues, then drainage correction may be the best solution for your home. One commonly used form of drainage correction is the French drains. French Drain: Drainage is the collecting and …
