Hello,
My name is Gerard (Jerry) Landers and I'm a concrete finisher and block mason. I have been around concrete and cementous material my whole life so I have an almost scientific understanding on how our most trusted building material is created at the molecular level. I believe I just created a building material that very well could change the way we build! The product I would like to share is already done. I spent my savings on creating this "recipe" but I know it was worth it. It's potential is endless. I don't really know if you want me to go to much into detail because I could make it an instruction manual. Basically what I have is an ultralight (floats on water) concrete mix that is just a strong as the old heavy stuff but it's 25lbs per cubic foot vs 150! One man or woman could build their own home from floor to ceiling. Benefits include thermal insulation ( 100x more efficient then our current insulation methods) for an almost unbelievable R rating. My closest estimate is R-750 ish (not kidding I have the video to explain) and to put it in layman's terms if it was 1000 degrees outside you would still be able to manage a comfortable 72 or whatever temperature you like in your home. I want to build a 5 x 5 shed and then build a bonfire around it and sit in the building while the surroundings burn up around me. It's so impressive I thought about just naming it structural insulation. Compressive strenght that is already in the conventional range. For instance according to the ASTM manual "aircrete" is around the weight of my product under 1250psi, lightweight concrete ranges from 1250 to 2500psi ( at those strenghts you can begin to build with it. At 2500 to 5000 psi you have your everyday king of construction (this is the type of concrete that makes your sidewalks, driveways, residential foundations, concrete floors, etc.. After 5000psi you have high strenght concrete and that's the expensive stuff. That is you concrete countertops, concrete sinks, I believe your shot-crete for swimming pools and applications like that. Now like I said earlier I created a recipe that will replace all of it. I've already had it tested at a concrete plant and at the 14 day cure mark I was already at 2600psi!! 28 days is considered the cure time in construction manuals (ASTM C) so I wouldn't be surprised of it goes beyond 3000 (that's my base) I believe I have a mix that is already hovering around or over 5000psi, I just haven't had it tested. I go back next Friday for a big test with a bunch of different mixes. This research is making me realize that I might be able to exceed 10,000psi but now is the time to reach out for help (I have taken it as far as I can alone). I hope somebody with knowledge in construction, engineering, or heck anything to do with the trades finds this interesting.
Thank you for your time
Very Respectfully
Jerry Landers
