MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621000009 A) filed by Dr. Vimalkumar N. Patel; Dr. C. D. Modhera; Vijay K. Mehta; Rahul Jayantilal Parmar; Jagad Gaurav Bhikhalal; and B. H. Ghardi College Of Engineering & Technology, Rajkot, Gujarat, on Jan. 1, for 'high-performance concrete composition with dual recycled aggregates for structural and durability enhancement.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Vimalkumar N. Patel; Dr. C. D. Modhera; Vijay K. Mehta; Rahul Jayantilal Parmar; and Jagad Gaurav Bhikhalal.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a sustainable recycled aggregate concrete composition and a process for its preparation. The concrete comprises a primary hydraulic binder, a highly reactive pozzolanic material, fine aggregates, virgin coarse aggregates, and a blended mixture of high water absorption recycled construction and demolition aggregates and extremely low water absorption recycled ceramic aggregates. Upon addition of water, the hydraulic binder undergoes hydration to form calcium silicate hydrate and calcium hydroxide, while the pozzolanic material reacts with calcium hydroxide to generate additional calcium silicate hydrate and calcium-aluminosilicate hydrate phases. The balanced use of recycled aggregates regulates water absorption and enhances microstructural densification. The invention provides a durable and environmentally friendly concrete suitable for structural applications while reducing the use of natural aggregates and promoting construction waste utilization."
