CEMENT SIMILAR
TO COMPOSITION
TO CORALS
Chetan Karwa
WHAT IS BIOMIMICRY?
• Biomimicry is the term used to describe the substances,
equipment, mechanism and systems by which humans imitate
natural systems and designs. The word biomimicry Originates
from the Greek words:-
Bios = Life
Mimesis = Imitate
OUR APPROACH TO BIOMIMICRY
• Cement having composition of Corals -
Bio mineral mineralization expert Brent Constantz of Stanford university was
inspired to make a new type of cement for buildings by the way corals build reefs.
• Concrete represents incredible reservoir.
WHAT'S NEWABOUT THIS PROCESS?
• Calcium carbonate precipitation
• The concrete allows us to build massive structures just like the Great Barrier Reef.
• The barrier reef represents billions of tons of carbon dioxide that’s been taken from
the ocean.
CONCLUSION
• Tests give evidence that coral like forms can be used effectively in construction
• Coral like cement is used all over the world to give an aesthetic look to exposed
parts of a structure.
References
• Engineering News Record 1926. 97(3) 106. - (Difficulties of construction work on the island of
Guam),
• An illustrated article by a former U.S. Naval officer which mentions the use of coral sand and
crushed metamorphosed coral used as concrete aggregate. Photographs show building and canal
batiks in which these materials were used.
• Engineering News Record 1945. 135. No;6, pp.174-180 ' (Coral - a good aggregate in concrete).
• Engineering News Record July 13th, 1944» vol,29 ("Characteristics of coral deposits" by Harold T.
Stearns).
• U.S. geological survey describing different types of coral and describing its use in constructing
Pacific advance bases during- the war.
