RE:Roads and Bridges Infrastructure BillThe three main advantages of graphene in concrete are in terms of volume, strength, and water resistance of concrete:
- Graphene in concrete alters the chemistry of concrete, making it stronger and durable. The volume of concrete is decreased by 15%, reducing the heat emitted during hardening.
- Graphene in concrete increases flexural strength by 70%, which reduces the amount of steel reinforcement. Hence, significant cost savings are achieved.
- The water-resistance of concrete is increased by 300%, extending the service life and saving cost from maintenance.
