Chinese researchers have developed a new type of cement concrete using natural soil as well as wind-blown sand, according to media report.
The new green, low-cost cement
concrete, developed by the research team of Xinjiang Communications
Construction Group Co., Ltd, also makes use of construction and industry waste
and residue, the Science and Technology Daily reported Thursday.
The new cement concrete,
containing natural soil material, wind-blown sand, construction waste and steel
slag, could halve both the construction cost and construction time, according
to the newspaper report.
It can be widely used in the
infrastructure construction of roads, railways and airports, agriculture,
forestry, water conservancy, electric power and mining projects.
The new cement concrete has been put into use, said the newspaper.http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-05/17/c_138066547.htm
