Abstract
Abstract A cementitious composition which when mixed with water is capable of setting rapidly into a hard mass of high compressive strength without substantial shrinkage during setting and early hardening, which exhibits reduced long-term shrinkage, and which possesses a high degree of impermeability to liquid and vapor, is composed of a particulate mixture of portland cement, a calcined gypsum, and high alumina cement. Alternatively, such a cementitious composition can be composed of a particulate mixture of a high alumina cement and pressure calcined gypsum. Additional components such as surface active agents, gas generating or releasing agents and aggregate can be employed, if desired, for the selective improvement of specific properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
In the method for repairing and waterproofing concrete structures and for filling voids and holes to form stable underpinnings or foundations for machinery and heavy equipment comprising admixing a cementitious composition with water and applying the admixture to said concrete structures or to said voids and holes, the improvement wherein the cementitious composition consists essentially of an admixture of high alumina cement and pressure calcined gypsum.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
66 words
In the method for repairing and waterproofing concrete structures and for filling voids and holes to form stable underpinnings or foundations for machinery and heavy equipment comprising admixing a cementitious composition with water and applying the admixture to said concrete structures or to said voids and holes, the improvement wherein the cementitious composition consists essentially of an admixture of high alumina cement and pressure calcined gypsum.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
105 words
In the method for repairing and waterproofing concrete structures and for filling voids and holes to form stable underpinnings or foundations for machinery and heavy equipment comprising admixing a cementitious composition with water and applying the admixture to said concrete structures or to said voids and holes, the improvement wherein the cementitious composition consists essentially of, in admixture, (a) high alumina cement; (b) pressure calcined gypsum; (c) an inert aggregate; (d) a material capable of generating a volume of gas or capable of releasing a volume of entrapped gas during setting and early hardening while in contact with water; and (e) a surface active agent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
105 words
In the method for repairing and waterproofing concrete structures and for filling voids and holes to form stable underpinnings or foundations for machinery and heavy equipment comprising admixing a cementitious composition with water and applying the admixture to said concrete structures or to said voids and holes, the improvement wherein the cementitious composition consists essentially of, in admixture, (a) high alumina cement; (b) pressure calcined gypsum; (c) an inert aggregate; (d) a material capable of generating a volume of gas or capable of releasing a volume of entrapped gas during setting and early hardening while in contact with water; and (e) a surface active agent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein the cementitious composition contains between 0.1 and 40 weight percent of pressure calcined gypsum based on the total weight of components (a) and (b).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein the cementitious composition contains between 5 and 20 weight percent of pressure calcined gypsum based on the total weight of components (a) and (b).
