Conductive Concrete Containing<br />

<strong>We</strong> <strong>Energies</strong> High Carbon Fly Ash and<br />

Carbon Fibers (US Patent 6,821,336)<br />

Testing of concrete using carbon fibers was conducted for concrete mixtures.<br />

<strong>The</strong> goal of this testing work was to determine the feasibility of incorporating<br />

high carbon fly ash and carbon fibers in concrete to lower electrical resistance<br />

of these construction materials. <strong>The</strong> lowered electrical resistance of concrete<br />

mixtures will reduce the required length of, or entirely replace, the grounding<br />

electrodes currently in use for protection of electrical equipment from<br />

lightning strikes. Other uses can potentially include grounding, heating<br />

bridges, sidewalks or airport runways, and various other applications.<br />
