Abrasion Resistant Concrete for High Traffic Applications
High-traffic concrete surfaces face continuous mechanical stress, with abrasion rates reaching up to 0.8mm depth loss per year in extreme conditions. Traditional Portland cement concrete, even at high strengths of 40-50 MPa, can experience accelerated wear in demanding applications like industrial floors, bridge decks, and hydraulic structures where repetitive loading combines with environmental exposure.
The fundamental challenge lies in developing concrete compositions that enhance abrasion resistance without compromising workability, cost-effectiveness, or long-term durability under real-world conditions.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including fiber-matrix systems with modified rubber particles and graphene oxide, specialized aggregate compositions with nano-scale SiO2, and polymer-enhanced bonding systems using polyetheretherketone. These and other approaches focus on practical implementations that deliver measurable improvements in surface wear resistance while maintaining essential concrete properties.
