Glazed Concrete : Development of Large Scale Ceramic Glazed Concrete
Publication: Communication › Journal article – Annual report year: 2010
Why glazed concrete?
Concrete hardens and finds its strength at room temperature
whereas clay products must first be fired before they achieve
this strength. They are stronger and three times as durable as clay products,
which is a weighty reason for choosing concrete.5 Another reason,
which is the one that I am working with, is the assumption that with the
use of the packing theory Densit6 and a fracture mechanical design concept
for composite materials, Compact Reinforced Composite (CRC)7,
8 can achieve high strength, which even for large-scale construction
have high ductility. If this succeeds, it will be possible to manufacture
thin, large-scale glazed concrete panels comparable in size to concrete
sandwich construction and larger which, with or without back-casting,
can work as load-bearing construction elements.
