Introduction. The article deals with the actual problem of disposal of industrial waste (sewage sludge). According to the literature data, possible directions of the use of sewage sludge in the production of building materials are identified and considered. Special attention is paid to the proposed variant of systematization of materials, which is based on the dependence of the aggregate state of the sediment on the type of building material. It is proposed to use sewage sludge as a complex additive to improve rheological properties at all stages of heavy concrete hardening.Methods and materials. Studies of the basic properties of raw materials and concrete based on them were determined using standard methods and the requirements of national standards. The material and chemical composition of the sediments, their physical and mechanical characteristics were determined on the basis of the laboratory of the plant of chemical concentrates (Novosibirsk).Results. As a result of the experimental work, the optimal percentage of sewage sludge in the composition of heavy concrete was determined, as well as the ratio of the chemical modifying additive, the optimal composition of concrete was investigated.Conclusion. As a result of the experimental work, the influence of the introduction of sewage sludge modified with plasticizing additives into the concrete composition was established. It has been established that sewage sludge is advisable to use in heavy concrete as a corrective additive without reducing the strength characteristics. In further studies, it is planned to solve the problems of structure formation and study of the interface between the phases of sewage sludge in the composition of concrete; to investigate the relationship between the chemical composition of precipitation and the physical and mechanical properties of a building material.

Pumice, cements (CEM I- and CEM II-type), waste fly and bottom ashes (IFA, GBA, and BBA) supplied from international companies were used to produce lightweight building materials, and physical-mechanical properties of these materials were determined. Axial compressive strength (ACS) values were found above the standards of 4 and 8 MPa (Bims Concrete (BC) 40 and 80 kgf/cm2 class) for cemented (CEM I) pumice-based samples. On the contrary, the ACS values of the pumice-based cemented (CEM II) samples could not be reached to these standards. Best ACS results (compatible with BC80) from these cemented lightweight material samples produced with the ashes were found in 50% mixing ratio as 10.6, 13.2, and 20.5 MPa for BBA + CEM I, GBA + CEM II, and IFA + CEM I, respectively, and produced with pumice were found as 8.4 MPa (same value) for GBA + pumice + CEM II (in 25% mixing ratio), BBA + pumice + CEM I (in 100% mixing ratio), and pumice + IFA + CEM I (in 100% mixing ratio), respectively. According to the results, cemented ash-based lightweight building material produced with and without pumice could widely be used for constructive purposes. As a result of this study, an important input to the ecosystem has been provided using waste ashes, whose storage constitutes a problem.

The article deals with the manufacture of modern structural ceramic materials from clay and loam deposits of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The importance and relevance of the development of the production of building materials from local raw materials is emphasized, since this will certainly affect the effectiveness of the construction complex as a whole. The successful development of the construction complex is capable of not only stimulating growth in all sectors of the economy, but also contributes to solving the most pressing social problems. Today, Yakutia has huge reserves of mineral raw materials for the production of a wide range of building materials and products. Of practical interest are wall materials made from clay soils. Given the features of the region’s raw material base, this work focuses on additional processing of traditional material. Controlling the complex physicochemical and structural-mechanical transformations that occur during heat treatment, a methodology has been developed for creating a composite material that will allow competitive innovative materials with enhanced strength properties to be produced with a reinforcing element with a glassy phase matrix of mullite crystals. The fabricated samples have a wide range of physical and mechanical properties and allow using it as a high-quality structural building ceramics, as well as industrial floor technical tile.

Glass waste is currently produced almost in all developed countries. It is the silicate based waste material which after suitable treatment has found application in many industries and therefore some types of waste glass belong to progressive secondary raw materials. However, the use of this silicate waste material which differ on the basis of an initial use of the glass in its physical and mechanical properties has not been fully explored in the field of building industry – the production of building materials. The replacement of the common filler – quartz sand in the polymer concrete (PC) could be one of the effective possibilities of the utilization of different type of waste glass in the building industry. Mainly for this reason, this work deals with the experimental examining the possibility of using various types of waste glass in the polymer concrete based on epoxy resin.

Bricks are widely used as a construction and building material due to its properties. Recent years have seen a great development in new types of inorganic cementitious binders called ‘‘geopolymeric cement’’ around the world. This prompted its use in bricks, which improves the greenness of ordinary bricks. The development of fly ash-based geopolymer lightweight bricks is relatively new in the field of construction materials. This paper reviews the uses of fly ash as a raw materials and addition of foaming agent to the geopolymeric mixture to produce lightweight bricks. The effects on their physical and mechanical properties have been discussed. Most manufactured bricks with incorporation of foaming agent have shown positive effects by producing lightweight bricks, increased porosity and improved the thermal conductivities of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks. However, less of performances in number of cases in terms of mechanical properties were also demonstrated.

Experimental work was conducted on illite-chlorite and kaolinite-carbonate rich clays to investigate effects of pore forming additive materials. Three types of additives were applied: vegetal materials like sawdust, sunflower seeds hull and rice husks; lignite, as high organic content mineral material; fuel-grade coke, as synthetic additive. Raw materials were characterized regarding their composition, thermal behavior, microstructure and chemical composition. Expansion of extruded samples was detected after pressing release. Correlations were determined between the type and cellulose content of vegetal materials and expansion caused. The mineral and synthetic additive does not produce expansion, but lowers the working moisture needed.

Coupling Loss Factor (CLF) is a parameter describing building sound loss, which can be stand for energy loss in the process of crossing the structure. A low value of CLF refers to the high insulation performance of building member. Therefore, reducing the coupling loss is a favorable way to improve the sound insulation. For the purpose of exploring the relationship between the properties of building materials and CLF, the commonly used building materials are selected to analyze. It is indicated that the properties of building material have obvious effects on the CLF. As the consequence, some predictions and analysis are carried out in this paper.
