Purpose. Improving the technology of concretes on the basis of secondary mineral resources (waste foundry sand of metallurgical and machine-building industry, ash-and-slag mixes of thermal power plants). Methodology. Generally accepted standard methods in the study of the basic properties of raw materials, concrete mixes and concretes are used in the work. The samples were moulded using specially made laboratory vacuum equipment. Findings. The study results on the main properties of concretes on the basis of secondary mineral resources confirmed the effectiveness of vibrovacuum technology. For example, the strength of ash-and-slag vacuum concrete is on average higher than the strength of vibrocompacted concrete from a mobile concrete mix by 610 MPa or by 60100% (depending on the cement consumption). Also, high-quality concretes with moderate cement consumption for various types of construction are obtained on the basis of waste foundry sand. Originality. Scientific and technical bases of the technology of vibrovacuum concrete on the basis of waste foundry sand and ash-and-slag mixes were developed. Practical value. Through the development of the technology of vibrovacuum products based on secondary mineral resources concrete, high-quality concretes (increased strength, frost resistance, etc.) were obtained for road and other types of construction. This technology allows applying the existing technological equipment without fundamental design changes, carrying out immediate dismantling of moulded products, which significantly reduces the metal consumption of the technology.
Concrete belongs to the most used building materials, applied in almost all types of constructions (civil, industrial, road, hydraulic, subway constructions, etc.). Currently, the most common is the vibration method of molding concrete and reinforced concrete products. However, the issues of choosing a rational mode for compacting concrete mixtures, its effect on density and, accordingly, strength, water resistance, frost resistance and deformation properties of concrete, remain insufficiently studied. The best results are obtained by using the optimal frequentative vibratory influence method. In this case, concrete strength is increased by 25-30 % in comparison to the factor of concrete compacted by traditional method.
