Compounding features of composite gypsum binders for porous composites in construction printing technologies

Abstract

Abstract At this stage of development of construction technologies and widespread digitalization, one of the most promising and interesting areas of the Russian and international scientific community is construction printing. The main idea of construction printing is to create a finished product or structure with a single installation. The most important task now is to master printing with porous concrete to give structures the required thermal characteristics, without which additive construction cannot fully compete with conventional technologies in the construction of wall structures. One of the promising materials in this case is foam concrete, in which the rapid fixation of the porous structure and the given shape is provided by the use of a composite gypsum binder. The paper considers the possibility of moving away from traditional composition that include active mineral additives by using Portland cements with various mineral additives. The influence of the used foaming agent on the hardening process of the gyp-sum-Portland cement system with various mineral additives was studied. This solution is designed to simplify the technology, make it more attractive for small and medium-sized businesses, increase the compatibility of the binder with foaming agents, as well as its activity to ensure high mechanical performance of foam concrete.
