THE POSSIBILITY OF USING SILICATE-CONTAINING WASTE IN THE PRODUCTION OF BUILDING MATERIALS

Abstract

The solution to the problem of reducing the resource intensity of the construction industry is possible due to the involvement of large-tonnage waste in the production of building materials as a feedstock. Despite the fact that this task has been standing for a long time, the share of waste in raw materials for the production of building materials is still not large today. The article presents the results of research on the properties of concrete mixtures for self-leveling floors based on silicate-containing waste. In the course of experimental studies, the compositions of raw mixtures containing Portland cement, finely ground broken glass, concrete scrap, and liquid glass were optimized. The ratio of the composition of concrete mixes with the use of waste was revealed, at which the quality of the finished product is maintained. Keywords: cullet, concrete scrap, liquid glass, liquid glass, concrete mixtures.
