It's a cement-based composite material reinforced with alkali-resistant glass fibers. The fibers serve a purpose similar to the reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete, and they also add flexural, tensile and impact strength. As a result, GFRC can be used to produce strong, lightweight architectural concrete products such as building panels.

Products are rigorously tested to meet the high standards demanded by today's dynamic construction needs. In 1912, cement was carted from the St Marys Plant through horse-drawn carriages. Today, distribution is accomplished through a sophisticated network of terminals throughout the Great Lakes Region, serviced by barge, rail and truck.

CXT Concrete Ties can provide an estimated cost savings of 10% to 15% when compared to timber ties using conventional track construction methods. When mechanized track laying systems are used, the CXT expense can be as much a 20% to 30% lower than wood ties. Life cycle maintenance expenses for concrete ties are also lower than wood tires.

History and Development of Portland Cement Portland cement, arguably one of mankind's most important manufactured materials, was invented and patented by Joseph Aspdin from Leeds in 1824. Aspdin produced cement by heating powdered limestone mixed with clay in a furnace, and grinding the resulting clinker to a powder.

Let's start by calculating the carbon dioxide released by the concrete in a single lane of an interstate highway. According to the Federal Highway Administration, an interstate lane is 11 inches thick and 12 feet wide. Therefore, the volume of concrete in a mile (5,280 feet) of concrete is: 11/12 x 12 x 5,280 = 58,080 cubic feet.

Cement is typically made from limestone and clay or shale. These raw materials are extracted from the quarry crushed to a very fine powder and then blended in the correct proportions. This blended raw material is called the 'raw feed' or 'kiln feed' and is heated in a rotary kiln where it reaches a temperature of about 1400 C to 1500 C.
