A eurobond is an international bond that is denominated in a currency not native to the country where it is issued. They are also called external bonds . [ 1 ] They are usually categorised according to the currency in which they are issued: eurodollar, euroyen, and so on.
Early work by Dry included embedding long, thin glass channels in concrete. [26] This self-healing mechanism was eventually scaled up and used on a sample bridge deck. [27] The difficulty of casting concrete with these very fragile materials was one obstacle preventing this technique's widespread use.
Concrete sealers are applied to concrete to protect it from surface damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the concrete to reduce absorption of water and salts or form an impermeable layer which prevents such materials from passing.
Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures to a solid over time. Concrete is the second-most-used substance in the world after water, [1] and is the most widely used building material. [2] Its usage worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that of steel, wood, plastics, and aluminium combined. [3]
Pre-tensioned concrete is a variant of prestressed concrete where the tendons are tensioned prior to the concrete being cast. [1]: 25 The concrete bonds to the tendons as it cures, following which the end-anchoring of the tendons is released, and the tendon tension forces are transferred to the concrete as compression by static friction.
Eurobond may refer to: Eurobond (external bond) , a bond issued that is denominated in a currency not native to the country where it is issued Eurobond (eurozone) , proposed government bonds to be issued in euros jointly by the EU’s 19 eurozone states
In the category of self-leveling concrete there are two main groups of materials: underlayments and toppings. An underlayment is installed over an existing subfloor to smooth it out and correct any surface irregularities prior to the installation of all types of floor coverings, including sheet vinyl, vinyl composition tile (VCT), wood, ceramic tile and carpet.
Logo of Eurocode 2 An example of a concrete structure. In the Eurocode series of European standards (EN) related to construction, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures (abbreviated EN 1992 or, informally, EC 2) specifies technical rules for the design of concrete, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete structures, using the limit state design philosophy.
