From their website:
DUCTILCRETE® HB100 is a patented dual-layer engineered system for concrete slabs based on the Heidebed® technology and method. It is specifically designed...
I agree, really what I am after is some information on the design process (It is design build) since there is no steel reinforcing or construction joints. The ductile crete system appears to be a polymer modified flexible topping slab over a conventional unreinforced concrete yet somehow the...
