 High Range Water Reducing Concrete admixtures based on synthetic polymers for production of rheoplastic concrete such as that used for Binghamton University. Rheoplastic Concrete flows easily, maintaining high degree of plasticity for time periods longer than conventional superplasticized concrete. Rheoplastic concrete has the low water-cementitious materials ratio of no-slump concrete, providing excellent engineering (hardened) properties.Go>Back< |
Precast chosen for design flexibility
"We chose precast for the original design of the garage because it gave us more flexibility than cast-in-place." - John Pringle, Burt Hill (Stantec). Saint Joseph's University Garage
