Concrete Technology. In its simplest form, concrete is a mixture of paste and aggregates (rocks). The paste, composed essentially of portland cement and water, coats the surface of the fine (small) and coarse (larger) aggregates. Through a series of chemical reactions called hydration, the paste hardens and gains strength to form the rock-like ...

Q: What applications does concrete have, and what properties make it a preferred building material? Olivetti: Concrete is the dominant building material globally with an annual consumption of 30 billion metric tons. That is over 20 times the next most produced material, steel, and the scale of its use leads to considerable environmental …
In addition to rock bolts, steel supports are also important types for roadway support in Chinese coal mines, although they cannot provide active setting force to control the initial deformation and damage of rocks surrounding roadways. For roadways under some complex conditions, …
The design engineer reached out to Presto Geosystems for technical support in evaluating their options for the project, and they ultimately selected the GEOWEB® Geocell Reinforced Concrete (GRC). The system required no special subbase treatment or geotextiles for reinforcement—only a moisture barrier beneath the section …
The outstanding support advantages of concrete-filled steel tube have been successfully applied in many coal mine soft rock roadways that are difficult to support in China [17], [18]. As for phenomena like expansive weak surrounding rock, various mining affection, complex stress environment and stress concentration, the relative research on ...
There are four stages in the manufacture of portland cement: (1) crushing and grinding the raw materials, (2) blending the materials in the correct proportions, (3) burning the prepared mix in a kiln, and (4) grinding the burned product, known as " clinker," together with some 5 percent of gypsum (to control the time of set of the cement). The three processes of …
5. Print your own PPE. Of course, one of the most visible applications for 3D in 2020 was the mass production of personal protective equipment (PPE); indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic may have sped up its adoption. Various companies working in the mining industry used their 3D knowhow to manufacture PPE for frontline …
Abstract Nowadays, additive manufacturing, or 3D (3DP), though not a new technology in many industrial fields, is still relatively novel in mining engineering. This study explored the application of 3D metal , 3D polylactic acid/ acrylonitrile butadiene styrene , and 3D concrete in coal mining.
