Complex approach to the study of modern concrete characteristics

Abstract

The possibility of complex experimental study of the structure and properties of modern multicomponent concretes combining the influence of mechanical activation of the initial powder components of building mixtures, the rheology of concrete solutions, the structure of the concrete mixture, the distribution of various components and pores, the nature of damage and destruction at various stages of concrete strength testing is considered. The classical set of experimental methods for studying the rheological characteristics and strength of concretes at various setting stages is supplemented by studies of the concrete structure using X-ray computed tomography. The developing approach allows to solve the fundamental problems of building material science of concrete.
