This paper presents the results of a series of axial compression tests on concrete block wallettes coated with cement mortar overlays. Different types of mortars and combinations with steel welded meshes and fibers were tested. The experimental results were discussed based on different theoretical approaches: analytical and Finite Element Method models. The main conclusions are: a) the application of mortar overlays increases the wall strength, but not in a uniform manner; b) the strengthening efficiency of wallettes loaded in axial compression is not proportional to the overlay mortar strength because it can be affected by the failure mechanisms of the wall; c) steel mesh reinforced overlays in combination with high strength mortar show better efficiency, because the steel mesh mitigates the damage effects in the block wall and in the overlays themselves; d) simplified theoretical methods of analysis as described in this paper can give satisfactory predictions of masonry wall behavior up to a certain level.

The article describes experimental research of bending rubber fiber concrete elements with favorable deformation-strength characteristics. The use of such a material as fiberrubcon in load-bearing structures due to its high strength leads to a decrease in material consumption and weight of structures.

The research results on the development of fire-retardant composite cement mortar mixtures on exfoliated vermiculite and volcanic ash with the use of a multifunctional additive are presented D-5. Compositions of fire-retardant composite mortars, which make it possible to significantly improve the physical and mechanical properties of mortar mixtures and mortars, are proposed. Introduction of a multifunctional supplement D-5 in mortar mixtures makes it possible to improve the composite mortar mixtures properties and improve the solution characteristics. Replacement of finely dispersed fraction of exfoliated vermiculite d<0,63 mm volcanic ash by volume in mortar mixtures does not cause a noticeable increase in the solution density, while their strength characteristics increase. The developed composite mortar mixtures meet the requirements of GOST 28013–98 and have a low-cost price due to volcanic ash use.

Purpose Low pilling and wrinkle-free appearance of cellulosic fabrics are always demanded. Resin finishes are applied to improve these properties, but there is an adverse effect of the resin finish as it tends to reduce the strength of the fabrics. Therefore, the effect of the two most important finishes; anti-pilling and resin finish, on the strength characteristics of 100% viscose and 50:50 Viscose/cotton plain and satin fabrics were investigated in this paper. The purpose of this study is to identify significant factors affecting the strength of fabrics finished with crosslinking agents [non-ionic acrylate copolymer and (dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea)]. Design/methodology/approach A statistical model of 23 32 mixed level factorial design was used for the study. Appratan N9211 (A) and Arkofix NF (B) were tested at three concentrations, whereas three factors fabric; weave (C), blend ratio (D) and curing method (E) were tested at two levels. The performance of the finish was evaluated by two response variables, which were tensile and tear strength. Findings The various conditions of high strength values of the fabrics were presented in this paper. It was found that the tear strength of the fabrics increased after finishing except for 50:50 viscose/cotton plain fabric, whereas the tensile strength of plain fabrics is better at shock cure and for a satin normal cure is better. The model adequacy plots exhibit that the assumptions of normality and independence are not desecrated. Moreover, the values of “predicted R2” are in reasonable agreement with the “adjusted R2,” which confirms that models have been accounted for most of the inconsistency. Originality/value This paper is a part of my PhD dissertation. Unlike the previous studies, this paper investigated the effect of two crosslinking agents, Appretan N9211 as anti-pilling and Arkofix NF as wrinkle resistant agents on 100% viscose and 50:50 viscose/cotton plain and satin. Three different concentrations of both the crosslinking agents were used. Also, fixation of the finishes was carried out at a normal cure and shock cure.

Composite structures require the use of modern reinforcing materials combining high strength characteristics and resistance to aggressive influences with low weight. One of the promising materials for the production of reinforcing products is basalt roving. The high strength of the thread in combination with fragility imposes certain limitations on its placement in the material, and requires new approaches to the design of the reinforcing bar itself. The article investigates the strength characteristics of a composite reinforcing bar made of a basalt complex thread proposed by the authors. The features of the test procedure and the mechanical characteristics of the reinforcing material are described. The effectiveness of the applied test method developed in the process of testing reinforcing rods is shown. An increase in the tensile strength of a composite reinforcing bar based on basalt fiber is established in comparison with products from fiber and roving.
