    The average cost of a concrete pool starts at $50,000, but that can easily soar upward of $100,000 when you add luxury finishes like flush lights and an infinity edge or install a large pool.

  3. Shotcrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotcrete

    In pool construction, however, shotcrete refers to wet mix and gunite to dry mix. In this context, these terms are not interchangeable. In this context, these terms are not interchangeable. Shotcrete is placed and compacted/consolidated at the same time, due to the force with which it is ejected from the nozzle.

  4. Swimming pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_pool

    A swimming pool, swimming bath, wading pool, paddling pool, or simply pool, is a structure designed to hold water to enable swimming or other leisure activities. Pools can be built into the ground (in-ground pools) or built above ground (as a freestanding construction or as part of a building or other larger structure), and may be found as a ...

  5. Engineering plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_plastic

    Engineering plastics are more expensive than standard plastics, therefore they are produced in lower quantities and tend to be used for smaller objects or low-volume applications (such as mechanical parts), rather than for bulk and high-volume ends (like containers and packaging).

  6. High-performance plastics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-performance_plastics

    High performance plastics are relatively expensive: The price per kilogram may be between $5 and $100 . The average value is slightly less than 15 US-Dollar/kg. [5] High-performance plastics are thus about 3 to 20 times as expensive as engineering plastics. [2]

  7. Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-fiber_reinforced...

    Such 'seismic retrofit' is the major application in earthquake-prone areas, since it is much more economic than alternative methods. If a column is circular (or nearly so) an increase in axial capacity is also achieved by wrapping. In this application, the confinement of the CFRP wrap enhances the compressive strength of the concrete. However ...

  8. Low-density polyethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-density_polyethylene

    LDPE has SPI resin ID code 4 Schematic of LDPE branching structure. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from the monomer ethylene.It was the first grade of polyethylene, produced in 1933 by John C. Swallow and M.W Perrin who were working for Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) using a high pressure process via free radical polymerization. [1]

  9. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

    One research team found a way to use a form of microalgae called coccolithophores to mass produce calcium carbonate via photosynthesis at a faster rate than corals. They can survive in warm, cold , salt and fresh water. The technique has the potential to absorb more CO 2 than it emits. Between 1-2 million acres of open ponds could supply enough ...
