Stronger and Bendable Concrete, is it Possible"
Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) has the positive answer of that question. ConFlexPave is the name of the new type of concrete that besides its flexibility it is stronger and longer lasting concrete. According to the students and their professors this concrete will “greatly reduce the thickness and weight of precast pavement slabs, hence enabling speedy plug-and-play installation, where new concrete slabs prepared off-site can easily replace worn out ones.?
Conventional concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate and water. ConFlexPave is specifically designed product of hard materials mixed with polymer microfibers. The inclusion of these special synthetic fibers, allow the concrete to be flexible and bend under tension, as well as enhance its skid resistance.
