the compositions of gas and foam concrete with improved acoustic characteristics were developed. The optimal form of porosity, which contributes to the absorption of sound waves, both in the range of audible frequencies and at infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies, is revealed. The mathematical model for designing sound-absorbing concrete was improved, taking into account both the porosity of the composite and the influence of the porous aggregate. The laws of synthesis of aerated concrete and foam concrete are established, which consist in optimizing the processes of structure formation due to the use of a polymineral cement-ash binder and blowing agent. The composition of the composite intensifies the process of hydration of the system, which leads to the synthesis of a polymineral heterodisperse matrix with an open porosity of more than 60%. Peculiarities of the influence of the “Portland cement – aluminosilicate – complex of modifiers” system on the rheology of the concrete mixture was identified, which can significantly reduce shear stress and create easily formed cellular concrete mixtures. The increased activity and granulometry of aluminosilicates predetermine an increase in the number of contacts and mechanical adhesion between particles during compaction, strengthening the frame of inter-pore septa. The mechanism of the influence of the composition of the concrete mixture on the microstructure of the composite is established. The presence of refined aluminosilicates and a complex of additives in the system along with cement contribute to the synthesis of the matrix with open porosity, thereby increasing the sound absorption coefficient.

One of the promising means of foamed concrete quality improvement is micro-reinforcement by adding synthetic and mineral fibers to the base mix. This research is the first to investigate peculiarities of using recycled cellulose fiber extracted from waste paper for obtaining fiber reinforced foam concrete. The paper presents results of experimental research on the influence of cellulose fibers on structure and properties of fiber reinforced foam concrete by using methods of chemical analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The research determines peculiarities of new formations appearance and densification of binder hydration products in the contact zone between fiber and cement matrix, which boost mechanical strength of fiber reinforced foam concrete. Physico-mechanical properties of fiber reinforced foam concrete were defined depending on the amount of recycled cellulose fiber added to the base mix. It was found that the use of recycled cellulose fibers allows obtaining structural thermal insulating fiber reinforced foam concretes of non-autoclaved hardening of brand D600 with regard to mean density with the following improved properties: compressive strength increased by 35% compared to basic samples, higher stability of foamed concrete mix and decreased shrinkage deformation.

Abstract. The results of experimental studies are presented, the purpose of which was to study the influence of variable formulation and technological factors on the rheological characteristics of the foam concrete mixture, in particular, the structural strength. This is preceded by an analysis of the process of structure formation of cellular concrete. As a result, it is shown that the properties of cellular concrete are determined by the nature of the distribution of the solid component. The structure of the solid phase is formed at the earliest stages of the formation of cellular products and depends on the rheological characteristics of the mortar and cellular mixture. In the technology of cellular concrete, it is important to synchronize the processes of pore formation and the growth of plastic (structural) strength, which is also associated with a change in the rheological properties of the mixture. Using the methods of mathematical statistics, the influence of the content of the filler in the mixture with cement, the content of the complex additive, and the effect of mechanical chemical activation on the kinetics of the plastic strength of the foam concrete mixture were studied. The kinetic dependences of the plastic strength of the foam concrete mixture in the range of 6 ... 24 hours from the moment of manufacture have been constructed. Each of the 15 curves is maximized by a 3rd-degree polynomial. Based on the obtained dependences, they are differentiated between the first and second derivatives. As a result, the equations of the speed and intensity (acceleration) of the plastic strength of the foam concrete mixture were obtained. According to the results of the previous experiment, carried out according to a three-factor plan, a 4-factor plan was synthesized, in which the aging period of the foam concrete mixture was taken as the fourth factor. The calculated theoretical values of the characteristics of the structural strength of the foam concrete mixture were entered into the matrix. As a result, mathematical models of plastic strength, speed, and intensity of plastic strength of the foam concrete mixture were calculated and the influence of variable factors studied on the isosurfaces of these properties was visualized. The analysis of these dependencies made it possible to determine the characteristic recipe and technological conditions for obtaining a foam concrete mixture with the required values of plastic strength.

The paper studies the influence of the geometric parameters of the mixer on the mixing process, the construction of the mixing body, its location in the mixer bulk, and the mixer shape and geometry. The technique of calculating the power spent on mixing the foam concrete mixture is described. The effects of the ratio of the mixture height to the mixer diameter, the number and width of reflective partitions, and the shape of the conical part of the mixer on the homogeneity of the foam concrete mixture and the power consumption are considered. The optimal ratios of the foam concrete mixture height to the mixer diameter have been determined. Moreover, the optimal range of the ratios of the partition width to the mixer diameter has been established, in order to obtain a homogeneous foam concrete mixture throughout the volume with lower energy consumption. The optimal values of the angle of the mixer conical part for the preparation of a foam concrete mixture have been determined.

Abstract An effective method for increasing the aggregate stability of non-autoclave heat-insulating foam concrete is proposed. This material is prepared using a two-stage technology on a turbulent-type installation. An increase in the stability of the foam in the mortar mixture by 9.5-23% has been established. An increase in the viscosity of the foam concrete mixture by 13.5% was revealed. Wollastonite and diopside are actively involved in the formation of a stable structure of foam concrete and are structurally modifying centers. The introduction of mineral additives contributes to the formation of a homogeneous stable structure of non-autoclave foam concrete. Thus, an increase in the stability of the cellular system in the technology of non-autoclave cement-ash foam concrete is possible due to the control of the processes of structure formation when using dispersed mineral additives of wollastonite and diopside. Due to the structural-modifying effect of additives as crystallization centers for neoplasms, a more complete hydration of the cement and a strong contact of the additives with the cement stone should be ensured

aerated concrete at the moment is one of the perspective thermal insulation materials. However, the production of high-quality aerated concrete products is associated with a number of difficulties, primarily related to the features of the manufacturing technology and, in particular, to the formation of its structure during the period of gas evolution and the impact on this process of a large number of factors. The best conditions for the formation of cellular concrete are created when the maximum gas release and the optimum values of the plasticity-viscous characteristics of the aerated concrete mixture are found. Achieving optimal conditions is extremely difficult, which leads to a deterioration in the physico-mechanical characteristics of the final products. One of the ways to solve this problem is to increase the amount of mixing water, however, along with a positive effect (reducing the viscosity of the system), this leads to a decrease in the gas-holding capacity of the mixture. In this connection, the possibility of increasing the production efficiency of the cellular concrete mixture by optimizing the recipe-technological parameters was considered. With the help of the method of mathematical planning, a three-factor experiment was carried out, as the factors of variation were: the duration of the preliminary aging of the mixture, the dosage of the blowing agent and the water-hard ratio, the output parameters were the compressive strength and the average density of the final products. The obtained results made it possible to reveal the regularities of the change in the output parameters from the variable factors and to establish that the preliminary aging of the mixture before the introduction of the gassing agent positively affects the structure and, as a consequence, the physico-mechanical characteristics of the final products.
