What are the application cases of super-tough quartz floor tiles in the construction field?

The application cases of super-tough quartz floor tiles in the construction field can be explored from two different perspectives: one is as part of green infrastructure to improve the resilience of cities to climate change; the other is the application in new green building materials, especially in enhancing the earthquake resistance of buildings.

According to the article "Innovative Ceramic Floor for Resilient Cities", the LIFE CERSUDS project aims to improve the resilience of cities to climate change by promoting the use of green infrastructure to renew the urban environment. In this project, an innovative permeable urban paving (CERSUDS) was designed, using a low commercial value ceramic tile library. This paving solution was tested in a demonstration area in the town of Benicíssim. Its value as a stormwater management system was verified through a monitoring period from August 2018 to July 2019. Although this article mainly discusses ceramic permeable paving, super-tough quartz floor tiles can be considered a similar green infrastructure material for improving cities' sustainability and environmental friendliness due to their durability and compressive properties.

From the article "Experimental Research on the Seismic Capability of new green building materials", it can be seen that the development trend of China's housing industry is to actively research and develop new green building materials and promote renewable energy. This article studies the structural experiment of a glass fiber gypsum board concrete frame, a green building material, under horizontal low cyclic loading, and demonstrates the excellent seismic reliability of the connection structure between the fiber-reinforced gypsum board and concrete frame. Although this study does not directly mention super-tough quartz floor tiles, considering that quartz floor tiles usually have good compressive and impact resistance, they can be used as one of the key materials to improve the seismic capacity of buildings.

The application cases of super-tough quartz floor tiles in the construction field include but are not limited to as part of green infrastructure to improve the adaptability of cities to climate change, and as a new green building material to improve the seismic resistance of buildings.
