Concrete is one of the most widely used building materials in the world. It is found in roads, buildings, bridges and many other structures. A new type of concrete is currently attracting attention, as it is presented as very promising.
Conventional concrete is made of aggregates, such as sand and gravel, which are bound together by cement. At first, this mixture is quite malleable: it can be shaped and given the desired form. It then gradually hardens and becomes solid. It is this property that makes concrete so practical for construction.
The information available on this new concrete remains limited. It indicates that it is based on the same basic principle: aggregates bound together by a binder that transforms over time. Technical details, such as its exact composition or its performance, are not specified in the sources consulted.
This type of innovation could interest the construction sector, which has long been looking for more high-performance materials. However, new information will be needed to determine whether this concrete can be used on a large scale, in France as well as elsewhere.
