Abstract:

[China Building Materials Information Network] Architecture is the basis for people to shelter from wind and rain and is the art of solidification of human civilization. A sturdy and sturdy home can help people who work hard for a day to unload and get rid of fatigue; a well-designed building can make viewers pleasing and lingering. In the field of building materials, energy, intelligence, and beauty are the goals that architects and scientists are constantly pursuing. Today we will take a look at some of the new building materials that may be widely used in the future.

Eco-energy-saving material - aerogel

Better insulation and heat insulation are essential requirements for a comfortable living space. Aerogel is a high-performance insulation material called “the most promising prospect in the construction field”.

Although the aerogel carries a "gas" word, it is not a gas, but a synthetic porous three-dimensional network structure material that replaces the liquid component in the gel with a gas. It is the lightest solid in the world and has non-combustible or resistive properties. Good properties such as burning characteristics and low thermal conductivity, low density, low refractive index. Specific to the construction field, aerogel insulation materials can be used in four ways. First, aerogel materials can be used on roofs, facades, and windows to reduce heat loss. Second, aerogel materials are non-flammable and have a low thermal conductivity, so they can be used to refurbish special buildings. Protect them from accidental disasters such as fires. Third, the low society, non-flammability and strong adsorption of aerogel materials make them useful for building sound insulation, fire protection, and air purification. Finally, traditional insulation materials have a much higher heat transfer coefficient than aerogel insulation materials, and thicker materials are required to meet the criteria for sustainable housing. If aerogel materials are used, the living area can be greatly expanded.

Intelligent Building Materials - Smart Concrete

With the development of science and technology, all walks of life are developing in the direction of intelligence, and the field of building materials is no exception. Intelligent concrete is one of the manifestations of this trend. Smart concrete is a new type of concrete that was just developed in 2012 and is known as “the strongest concrete in the world”.

Intelligent concrete is mainly modified based on other high-strength concrete so that it has more complete working performance. Its intelligence is mainly reflected in its strong fluidity and segregation resistance. That is to say, the intelligent concrete can be uniformly and compactly formed without relying on its gravity, which greatly saves labor costs, makes the concrete pouring work more simple and quick, and reduces the errors caused by labor and machinery. Especially in some tubular members, the traditional pouring method is difficult to ensure that the concrete of the tubular member can be filled with compactness. If the smart concrete is put on the scene, it can be easily completed by itself. Therefore, the application of intelligent concrete in bridges and subways is relatively high. For example, intelligent concrete is used in the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge of Hangrui Expressway, which has achieved good construction results.

Materials for beauty - transparent concrete

At the 2010 World Expo, the Italian Pavilion used a new type of building material to build the façade of the stadium. This material looks like "transparent cement", which has both the solidity of cement and the transparency of glass. The light shines through the "transparent cement" of different textures to create a dreamy color effect that attracts the attention of a large number of tourists. The injection of natural light also reduces the use of indoor lighting. At the same time, people inside and outside the pavilion can also see each other through "transparent cement", which is interesting. This material is transparent concrete.

This transparent concrete is made of a large flow of concrete and a large number of optical fibers in a certain arrangement. Since the optical fiber has a certain light guiding property, it can transmit light by uniformly distributing it in parallel in the concrete. With its light transmission, the clear outline of transparent concrete under the illumination of light will appear on the other side of the dark. This special decorative effect will make people feel light and bright, breaking the depression and heavy feeling of traditional concrete. If the concrete and the optical fiber are proportionally changed, the gradient of different transparency can be achieved. If the arrangement of the optical fiber in the transparent concrete is changed, different patterns can be presented, and the appearance of the wall itself is increased, which has a high appreciation value. More and more attention is paid to the landscape design field.
