[PSUBS-MAILIST] Engineers are building a submarine made of concrete



"The building material is considered to be bulky and heavy, but researchers at the Technical University of Dresden make concrete now almost as pliable and easy.  From such research reflects a 17 metre long bridge, whose walls just three centimetres thick.  The concrete U-boat is the way, with pure leg strength on pedals driven.
Concrete is a term that involuntarily to massive, bulky buildings recalls.  Associations with light and delicate structures fall as more difficult.  But a new technology is capable of Saxony, the usual image of the ubiquitous building material for a fundamental change.  Scientists at the Technical University of Dresden bewehren instead of concrete with a heavy iron with large-meshed carbon and glass fiber networks.  This enables high-precision concrete layers of only a few millimetres thick.  This allows easy and verwitterungsbeständige construction of almost any variety of shapes to be built, to submarines."
