DUCON is an innovative new composite of concrete and steel in a configuration that achieves unusually high strength and ductility. Three-dimensional mats made of multiple layers of fine steel mesh are infiltrated and encased in a slurry of high-strength cementitious mortar.
Its name is a contraction of the term “ductile concrete.” The mesh and mortar composite acts in ways that ordinary concrete and rebar do not. It can bend without breaking. Even when it is breached by high impulsive loads like blasts, it holds onto its fragments and does not spall.
I asked this question earlier but there were no replies. Are Ducon Slabs and Hollowcore the same thing? If not what are the differences? Thanks.
