Japan has developed a flexible reinforcing concrete is gaining strength by making them more have been broken, and the aim of protection from earthquakes.

It contains concrete developed by Kajima Corp. Construction on the fiber thickness of human hair chemical commonly used in the manufacture of tires over the cohesion of the concrete and prevent the extent of cracks.

The company developed to enhance fiber-reinforced concrete and make it bear more pressure after cracking, which makes buildings stronger if shaken by one of the frequent earthquakes in Japan.

The Ttsusuha Kanda, a senior engineer in the company: "It will be a full sound, even in the event of an earthquake."

He explained that the concrete expands 100 times more than regular concrete.

Japan, which have been proud of the application of engineering standards for earthquake-resistant shock when he collapsed highway concrete columns and raised on the buildings in the western city of Kobe in 1995 by an earthquake measuring 7.3 degrees has killed more than 6400 people.

The company said that in the event of such a quake will not show any cracks in this concrete and will regain its strength.

So far, two towers were built in Japan in this new addition to the strengthening of concrete buildings and 100 other infrastructure in this article.

Kanda said that the product development, which took ten years for the first time in 2003, but almost an obsession for 1. 0 per cent of Japan's concrete market, due in part to the cost of more than ten times the price of regular concrete.
