This presentation discusses concrete cloth, its uses, properties, and application in civil engineering. Concrete cloth is a flexible cement-impregnated fabric that hardens when hydrated to form a thin, durable layer. It has various advantages such as being rapid to install, flexible, strong, fireproof, waterproof and durable. Common applications of concrete cloth include bund lining, slope protection, pipeline protection, ground resurfacing, and mining applications. The presentation provides details on concrete cloth types, material properties like strength and abrasion resistance, methods of hydration and fixing, and concludes that it is a time-saving technique that is easy to place and handle.

 CC Material Properties
Strength
Bending tests based on BS EN 12467:2004
- 10 day bending failure stress (MPa) 3.4
- 10 day bending Young’s modulus (MPa) 180

5. Abrasion Resistance (ASTM C1353-8)
- CC lost 60% less weight than marble over 1000 cycles.
Tensile Test
Abrasion Resistance (DIN 52108)
- Similar to twice that of OPC Max 0.10 gm/cm2

8. Advantages of CC
1) Rapid.
2) Easy to use.
3) Flexible.
4) Strong.
5) Fireproof.
6) Waterproof.
7) Durable.
8) Environmentally
Friendly.
Limitations of CC
1) cannot be over hydrated.
2) Not excess of water .
3) Do not jet high pressure
water .
4) working time of 1-2 hours
5) hot climates reduce
working time.

9. Conclusion
Concrete cloth (CC) is a unique proprietary material. It is a
time & material saving technique. It is very easy to place &
handle. Concrete cloth is a flexible; cement impregnated
fabric that hardens when hydrated to form a thin, durable,
water & fire proof concrete layer. Simply position the canvas
& just add water. CC has a design life of 10 years and is
significantly quicker and less expensive to install compared to
conventional concrete. It is specially used, where the
workmanship is very difficult. It is specially used in emergency
works such as in military.
