the article discusses the possibilities of improving the strength characteristics of fine-grained concrete. Modification of compositions and production technology of fine-grained high-strength concrete is possible with the use of natural and man-made raw materials of various chemical and mineral composition. It is shown that it is possible to increase the economic feasibility of high-strength fine-grained concretes with the preservation of performance characteristics due to the use of man-made raw materials and production waste. The issues of controlling the processes of structure formation and identifying a potentially stable state of hardening compositions are considered, possibly on the basis of modification and design methods for the composition of construction objects with improved properties.

Quartz sandstone (QS) is a mine waste; therefore, its use in construction allows for both reducing the cost of the concrete and contributing to the utilization of waste. The scientific originality of this study is the identification of models of the effect of QS aggregate on the physicomechanical, durability characteristics, and eco-safety of greener high-strength concrete. The study used an energy-efficient method of non-thermal effects of electromagnetic pulses on the destruction mechanisms of quartz-containing raw materials. The characteristics of quartzite sandstone aggregates, including the natural activity of radionuclides, were comprehensively studied. The features of concrete hardening, including the formation of an interfacial transition zone between the aggregate and the cement matrix, were studied, taking into account the chemical and morphological features of quartzite sandstone. In addition, the microstructural and morphological properties of concrete were determined after a 28 day curing. In this study, the behaviors of the concrete with QS aggregate were investigated, bearing in mind the provisions of geomimetics science on the affinity of structures. The results obtained showed that the QS aggregate had the activity of natural radionuclides 3–4 times lower compared to traditional aggregates. Efficient greener concrete with a 46.3 MPa compressive strength, water permeability grade W14, and freeze–thaw resistance of 300 cycles were also obtained, demonstrating that the performance of this greener concrete was comparable to that of traditional concrete with more expensive granite or gabbro diabase aggregates.

Few studies have been conducted on the constructability or economic feasibility of the coupling of Pre-tensioned Spun High Strength Concrete (hereinafter PHC pile). For this reason, before applying it to actual construction sites, an analysis of constructability and economic feasibility is necessary. Therefore, this study aims to compare the welding method with the high-tension vertical bolt method. It is found that the use of the high-tension vertical bolt method can reduce expenses by 25 percent on average compared with the welding method.

The factors determining the production of fine-grained high-strength concrete are considered. The effect of micro-and complex nanodisperse additives based on natural mineral components, as well as the packing density of the quartz aggregate, on the strength parameters of fine-grained concrete is studied. The compositions of the fine-grained concrete modified by micro-and complex nanodisperse additives have been developed. The dependence of the fine concrete strength on the ratio of the mineral component and the stabilizer in the nanodisperse additive and the time of ultrasonic dispersion and additive storage is analyzed. The stabilization mechanisms of water dispersions of complex nanodisperse additives by various surface active modifiers are considered. The positive role of ultrasonic dispersion in obtaining nanodispersed additives is shown. The application efficiency of the micro-filler improving the density and strength of fine-grained concrete is revealed. The structure of fine-grained concrete is studied. It has been established by scanning electron microscopy that the introduction of the micro-and nanodispersed additives in the concrete leads to a less defective crystalline structure of the material.

Lego technology is one of the modern construction solutions providing cost reduction, increasing architectural expressiveness and the pace of work. This is the development of groove-ridge positioning systems and connection of small-piece wall elements. Currently, the technology of Lego blocks is implemented on various types of building materials: ceramic and hyper-pressed non-fired bricks, blocks from various types of lightweight concrete, which have not found wide practical application due to an obvious shift in the balance of properties either towards aesthetics – brick, or thermal insulation - blocks. In this regard, a technology for producing multi-hollow thin-walled lego blocks based on self-compacting high-strength fine-grained concrete with various types of high-porous filling is proposed. In this paper, the compositions of high-strength concrete mixes for the manufacture of lego block frames are proposed. The main emphasis in the development is made on improving the manufacturability of their production and the maximum efficiency of using the clinker component. Overcoming the multicomponent problem is achieved by replacing traditional cement with a special all-in-one composite binder. Due to the unacceptability of traditional methods of dispersed reinforcement for producing thin-walled products from self-compacting fine-grained mixtures, it is proposed to carry out dispersed micro-reinforcement at the level of cement stone, for which a technology is developed and the optimal parameters of dispersion of glass and basalt fiber are determined. Thanks to this approach, reinforcing fibers are included in the composition of the composite binder itself, which ensures maximum manufacturability and an increase in compressive strength up to 20...25 %.

High-strength steel fiber concrete, made on the basis of fine-grained high-strength concrete, is a quite promising building material, in particular, for the construction of high-rise buildings and structures of increased massiveness. The introduction of steel fiber into the concrete matrix can significantly reduce the influence of such shortcomings of fine-grained concrete as increased fragility and explosive nature of fracture, and also positively affects the tensile properties of concrete. However, the widespread use of high-strength steel fiber concrete is currently limited, among other things, by the lack of an experimentally relied normative framework for this material. The proposed article aims to bridge this gap. Modern engineering trends are aimed at introducing into practice diagram methods of calculation based on real diagrams of material deformation under load. This article describes the technique of constructing isochron diagrams for fine-grained high-strength concrete and steel fiber concrete with disperse reinforcement in the amount of 1.5% by weight, made from Russian-made components. Isochron diagrams allow you to calculate the deformation of the material depending on the level of load at any time, including during prolonged loading. There have been made changes to the existing methodology, allowing to take into account the nonlinearity of both current and ultimate creep characteristics depending on the level of loading. The proposed theoretical dependences give good convergence with the experimental data.

In this study, mix proportion parameters of high strength concrete (HSC) were analyzed by using the Taguchi’s experiment design methodology for optimal design. For that purpose, mixtures are designed in a L27 orthogonal array with six factors, namely, ‘Silica Fume’, ‘Steel Fiber’, ‘Super-Plasticizer’, ‘Maximum Aggregate Size (AG)’, ‘Water / cementitious material (W/C) ratio’, ‘Fly Ash’. The mixtures were extensively tested to meet technical requirements of HSC. The experimental results were analyzed by using the Taguchi experimental design methodology. The best possible levels for mix proportions were determined for maximization of compressive strength at 7, 28, 56, 90 days, splitting tensile strength at 28 days, flexural strength at 28 days, and the slump. Also the best possible levels for mix proportions were determined for minimization of the production cost. It was found that steel fibers and fly ash are the most dominant factors in the process of optimization. The advantage of using steel fiber and fly ash was the reduced energy and cost associated with the raw materials which meant more sustainable concrete could be attained. It was also found that there is a necessity to apply a multi- response optimization to get the best mix proportions.
