A steel reinforced cement product having substantially increased strength made by: positioning prestressed reinforcing steel in a mold cavity; providing a cementitious mixture in the mold cavity about the reinforcing steel in an amount sufficient to fill the mold cavity to a predetermined extent; curing the reinforced cementitious-steel composite article in the mold; drying the article; applying a glaze to the surface of the dried article; burning the glaze; cooling the burned, glazed article, whereby reducing the strength of the composite article; hydrating the reduced strength composite article; and then recurring the thus produced article.

Glazed cement product and method for manufacturing thereof

Method for manufacturing glazed cement products of a foam light-weight aggregate, reinforcing steel under pretension or a stress-absorbing layer around the reinforcing steel. An action of generating crack, caused by a difference of coefficient of thermal expansion between the reinforcing steel and a portion of cement material while burning and cooling are carried out, is absorbed by the foam light-weight aggregate, the stress-absorbing layer or pretension given to the reinforcing steel. A reaction of unreacted cement component is promoted by the hydration to harden for recovering mechanical strength.

A novel method for producing a high-strength inorganic cement article is provided. The method comprises kneading under high shearing force a cement mixture containing as essential components hydraulic cement, a hydrophilic organic binder and water, molding the kneaded mixture into an article having a water-to-solid weight ratio of not more than about 0.2, preliminarily hydrating the molded article, firing the preliminarily hydrated article at about 300.degree. to about 1000.degree. C., and then rehydrating the fired article. The resulting cement article has bending strength of not lower than about 200 kgf/sq.cm without fibrous reinforcing materials and has that of not lower than about 350 kgf/sq.cm when reinforced with heat-resistant fiber materials. The cement article can be advantageously glazed in the above mentioned method by applying a glazing agent to a desired surface of the preliminarily hydrated article and then firing the article.
