The “Astroflex LCN” concrete (TY 5789-035-23380399-2008) was used in Russia in 2007 to rebuild a bridge that crosses the Volga river closed to Kimry city.

The reducing weight compared to ordinary concrete made possible the extension of the navigable portion of the bridge by partially changing its construction. The right level of impermeability of  Astroflex concrete has also avoided the use of a heavy and special hydro insulation.

In 2008, the bridge that crosses the Vjatka river, was also reconstructed by using Astroflex LCN. Two other bridging projects  (including one in the center of Moscow) are under study and expertise.

Due to its qualities, the concrete Astroflex LCN can be also recommended for constructions located in seismic areas. As well as its lightness and its relatively high resistance to cracking, this concrete is characterized by its high energy destruction (more than twice compared to usual concretes). Where some high performance concretes tend to “explode” when the limit of strength is reached, the concrete Astroflex can “resist” by deforming and requires a higher energy force before complete destruction.
