CONT

An entirely different approach to conductive concrete is being taken by Jim Beaudouin at the Institute for Research and Construction in Ottawa. Adding carbon fibre to concrete is expensive. His approach is to use a conductive aggregate instead. The substance in question is porous carbon, a form of coke that is a by-product of steel making. And it is cheap.
