Decoding the 109 projects of the 15th Five Year Plan: How can the concrete industry seize the 200 billion opportunity?

In March 2026, the Outline of the 15th Five Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China was officially released.

This landmark document, spanning tens of thousands of words, not only outlines the country’s development blueprint for the next five years, but also lays the “golden track” for the concrete and cement products industry between the lines.

Continued update | Ultimate guide to 13% tax rate for concrete, everything that was not explained before will be clarified this time

Recently, we have published several articles on concrete tax reform – from the policy warning of “3% tax rate cancellation, 13% era approaching”, to the preliminary suggestion of “how to maintain profits”, to the urgent reminder of “4 things must be done”.

Each article has received a lot of comments, but what people are most concerned about is: how to deal with old contracts after the policy has been implemented? How to issue invoices for cross period business? How should various departments within the company cooperate?.

Comparative analysis of rebound core testing results of concrete at different age groups

The rebound method and core drilling method, as the main methods for testing concrete strength, each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The rebound method is easy and fast to operate, but it is susceptible to various factors such as the surface condition and age of the concrete; The core drilling method yields intuitive and accurate results, but it may cause damage to the structure.

Therefore, comparing and analyzing the results of these two testing methods at different age groups in the article is helpful for a more comprehensive understanding of the variation law of concrete strength and providing scientific basis for engineering quality control.

Zhiyan Consulting releases a research report on the development history, market overview, and future prospects of the commodity concrete

Commercial concrete (ready mixed concrete) refers to a concrete mixture made of cement, sand and gravel aggregates, water, and additives, mineral admixtures, and other components added as needed in a certain proportion, measured and mixed at a mixing plant, sold, and transported by transport vehicles to the place of use within a specified time.

The demand for commodity concrete industry is shifting from a single dependence on real estate to a diversified pattern.

In 2024, the production of commercial concrete in China will be 2.

22 billion cubic meters, with a sales volume of 2.

21 billion cubic meters.

The demand in the real estate sector will account for 53.

7%, while other sectors will account for 46.

Components of macroscopic mechanical properties of recycled concrete

The elastic modulus of natural aggregates is significantly positively correlated with the elastic modulus and peak stress of recycled aggregate concrete (MRAC), and weakly negatively correlated with the peak strain.

The natural aggregate modulus increased from 30.

8 GPa to 83.

3 GPa, the elastic modulus increased by 38.

4%, and the peak stress increased by 11.

4%.

High modulus natural aggregates bear more loads and reduce system deformation, which is the fundamental factor in improving the stiffness of recycled concrete.
