A method for molding a cementitious composition into an article having a desired shape or configuration which comprises preparing molding means in a predetermined shape or configuration corresponding to the desired shape or configuration of the article; substantially filling the molding means with water to provide a substantial excess of that needed for hydration of the cementitious composition which will be used to make the article; introducing into the water in the molding means a dry cementitious composition in the form of finely divided particles of at least one cement binder in an amount of greater than 20 percent by weight of the composition, the major proportion of the particles having approximately the same drop rate, by pouring the composition into the water without any type of physical mixing of the cementitious composition and the water other than the mixing which occurs when the composition is poured into the water, such that the cementitious composition becomes completely hydrated by combining with a portion of the water and displacing excess water, if any, from the molding means; and allowing the hydrated cementitious composition to set or cure to a self supporting solid in the desired shape or configuration. A similar technique can be used for organic thermosetting resins. |
