In the second project, Coventry University will be developing cost effective, novel cementitious mixes using recycled gypsum from scrap plasterboard and a range of mineral wastes. The first category resulted in the development of a new ASTM standard, C 1585 [8], which measures sorption characteristics of concrete and has stimulated discussion on how to measure diffusion coefficients in cementitious materials [9]. Spray fireproofing, acoustical plaster, sprayed acoustical and thermal insulation, spray texturing and cementitious exterior walls are some of the most important special finishes that protect or solve problems in today's modern buildings. |
