For architects, contractors, engineers, DOT personnel, and other professionals who work on residential, commercial, industrial, or infrastructure projects.
Mixing, placing, finishing, and curing with calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement are virtually the same as portland cement-based repair products – the job just gets done a lot faster.
He began business by maintaining every floor material except concrete. When he added that to the list, UBM Advanced Floor Care Systems founder Mo Bashar armed crews with Rapid Set® products.
"I ask my suppliers a lot of questions, and do business with the people that have answers to all those questions. With CTS, I know I'm going to have the technical support for the win."
Whether you’re an architect, engineer, or other construction industry professional needing CE or PDH credits, our free 1-hour sessions span topics from sustainable design and critical infrastructure to repair and maintenance. All 18 sessions are accredited through the American Institute of Architects (AIA), which is universally recognized for meeting continuing education requirements in nearly every licensing jurisdiction. Read on to learn about topics and how to register.
Liquid admixture lowers Rapid Set® Cement’s chloride ion penetrability to produce a very-low-permeability concrete overlay that can be opened to traffic in three hours.
Rapid Set® cement’s unique chemistry mitigates against alkali-silica reaction (ASR) much more effectively than portland cement, particularly with highly reactive aggregate.
The federal government’s latest proposal for quantifying concrete’s carbon footprint tries to accommodate regional differences in raw material availability. It’s up to each state to decide if and how to use it, and that’s going to take time.
One mortar for all large-format tile materials: Polymer-modified Rapid Set® All Tile Mortar combines Rapid Set® Cement’s high-early strength with the working time of regular mortar for interior and exterior floors and walls.
Brand extension adds three benefits to popular repair material’s high-early-strength and long-term durability: self-curing, concrete-colored, longer working time.
Ultra high-performance mortar enables contractors and public agencies to make 11,000-psi repairs to concrete roads, bridges and runways in hours instead of days without having to add fibers to the mix.
You can make high-early-strength concrete with portland cement, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, and/or Rapid Set®. Each hydrates differently, which affects how susceptible the mix is to the primary cause of concrete deterioration and failure: shrinkage.
The U.S. government is developing requirements to award project funding based in part on pavement’s environmental impact. Here is how three concretes compare in terms of global warming potential (GWP).
Single-component coating is polymer-modified for increased adhesion. Concrete, masonry, and brick can be exposed to hydrostatic pressures of up to 20 psi in three to five days.
