4. Comments on
the dynamics of the concrete industry this week 1. Engineers have developed a new type of energy storage concrete
. MIT researchers have found that. When cement and carbon black are mixed with water, the resulting concrete self-assembles into an energy storage supercapacitor, which can output enough electricity to power a home or charge a electric vehicle quickly. On July 31, the results were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. According to the MIT team, a 1,589 cubic foot (about 45 cubic meters) of concrete laced with nano-carbon black can store about 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity — enough to power a third of the average American home's electricity consumption, or in conjunction with an appropriately sized solar rooftop array, to reduce the grid's energy bill to near zero. What's more, it adds almost no cost. Now, the team is working on battery blocks the size of car batteries, with the goal of creating 1,589 cubic feet, 10 kilowatt-hours of concrete capacitors for larger demonstrations.
2. The concrete pouring
of the first ship lock structure of the Madao Junction of the Pinglu Canal began recently, with the first truck of concrete being laid by the spreader to the main navigation wall upstream of the Madao Junction of the Pinglu Canal in Qinzhou, Guangxi, marking the formal start of the concrete pouring of the first ship lock structure of the Madao Junction of the Pinglu Canal. Madao Junction is the first cascade junction of Pinglu Canal, and the navigation structure is designed as a double-line ship lock, which is the largest inland river water-saving ship lock under construction in the world, with a total concrete volume of about 3.47 million cubic meters. The pouring point is the leading navigation wall of SZD01 section located on the left bank of the upstream approach channel of the ship lock, with a concrete pouring volume of
493.3. The high-speed rail shield segment prefabrication plant with the largest scale and the highest intelligent level in China was officially put into operation
in Tianjin on August 2. The first ring segment of Beijing-Binhai Railway of Fangqiao Company of the 14th Bureau of China Railway has been poured, which marks that the largest and most intelligent high-speed rail shield segment prefabrication plant in China has been put into operation in Tianjin. The intelligent manufacturing technology of large-diameter shield segments in China has made breakthroughs, and the construction of Beijing-Binhai Railway has been accelerated. Located in Dongli District, Tianjin, the segment yard has developed and designed two leading green intelligent segment production lines in China, and developed and applied the "steel cage automatic detection equipment" and "robot linkage system" for the first time, realizing the digital management, fingertip production and visual supervision of high-speed rail shield segment production, with a maximum monthly capacity of 550 rings, which can meet the needs of 4 large shield machines at the same time. This
week, the national concrete price index closed at 130.44 points, down 0.62% from the previous month and 8% from the previous year. Regionally, the price of concrete in Shaanxi and Zhejiang markets dropped by 10-20 yuan per square meter. Local concrete prices in Beijing, Henan, Shanghai, Hainan, Shandong, Jiangsu and Hubei have been reduced by about 5-10 yuan per square meter, while concrete prices in other provinces and cities in China have generally remained stable. In
the next ten days, the main rain areas will be located in the northeast, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, the eastern part of Northwest China, the south-central part of North China, the western part of Huanghuai, Jianghan, the western and southern parts of Jiangnan, the eastern part of Southwest China, the western and southern parts of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the southern part of Xizang, with a cumulative precipitation of 60-80 mm in most areas and 100-180 mm in some areas. The precipitation in the western part of South China, the southern and western parts of Yunnan and the southern part of the Xizang exceeds 200 mm locally; the precipitation in most of these areas is 2 to 50% more than that in the same period of the year, and the local precipitation is 1 to 2 times more than that in the same period of the year; the precipitation in most of the rest of China is less. In terms of temperature, Xinjiang, western Gansu and western Inner Mongolia still have persistent high temperature weather. From 4 to 9 days, there are 3 to 5 days of high temperature weather with daily maximum temperature of 35 to 38 degrees Celsius in western Huanghuai, Jianghan, western and southern Jiangnan.
To sum up, the precipitation in most regions of China next week is still higher than same period in previous years, and the downstream construction activity is difficult to improve significantly. At the same time, new orders in the construction industry continue to show a shrinking trend, market demand continues to weaken in the short term, coupled with the low enthusiasm of enterprises to supply, the market is still in the off-season operation. In terms of cost, the upstream raw material inventory is running at a high level, which is still in a bottoming state in the short term, and the support for concrete prices is insufficient. On the whole, the concrete market will maintain a weak downward trend next week.
