Production of unreinforced concrete, for sealing and/or load-bearing e.g. cellar walls and floors, involves adding plastic, steel, glass, carbon, ceramic or natural fibres to concrete mix to prevent cracking during setting

摘要

A low-constraint method for the production of largely unreinforced, mainly compression-loaded concrete components and constructions with a supporting and/or sealing function, in which plastic, steel, glass, carbon, ceramic and/or natural fibres are added to the concrete to prevent separation cracking. Independent claims are also included for; (1) Sealing and/or simultaneously load-bearing, unreinforced concrete components and/or constructions; and (2) Concrete constructions comprising (a) fibre-containing, water-impermeable, unreinforced concrete component(s), preferably walls and/or floors, (b) water-repellent film, preferably polyethylene film, (c) optionally a concrete-cleanliness layer and/or capillary-interruption layer and (d) optionally structural reinforcing elements such as edge reinforcements, edging elements and/or relieving elements.
