An essential problem of current construction engineering is the search for ways to obtain lightweight building structures with improved characteristics. The relevant way is the use of polymer composite reinforcement and concrete with high classes and prime characteristics. The purpose of this work is the theoretical and experimental substantiation of the effectiveness of combined-reinforced glass fiber polymer composite concrete (GFPCC) bending elements, and new recipe, technological and design solutions. We theoretically and experimentally substantiated the effectiveness of GFPCC bending elements from the point of view of three aspects: prescription, technological and constructive. An improvement in the structure and characteristics of glass fiber-reinforced concrete and GFPCC bending elements of a new type has been proven: the compressive strength of glass fiber-reinforced concrete has been increased up to 20%, and the efficiency of GFPCC bending elements is comparable to the concrete bending elements with steel reinforcement of class A1000 and higher. An improvement in the performance of the design due to the synergistic effect of fiber reinforcement of bending elements in combination with polymer composite reinforcement with rods was revealed. The synergistic effect with optimal recipe and technological parameters is due to the combined effect of dispersed fiber, which strengthens concrete at the micro level, and polymer composite reinforcement, which significantly increases the bearing capacity of the element at the macro level. Analytical dependences of the type of functions of the characteristics of bent concrete structures on the arguments—the parameters of the combined reinforcement with fiber and polymer composite reinforcement—are proposed. The synergistic effect of such a development is described, a new controlled significant coefficient of synergistic efficiency of combined reinforcement is proposed. From an economic point of view, the cost of the developed elements has been reduced and is economically more profitable (up to 300%).

The problem of increasing the service life of buildings and structures for agricultural purposes operated in aggressive environments is relevant. The aim and scientific novelty of the work were to determine the relationship between the structure and properties of geopolymer concretes in aggressive environments. The properties of various concrete compositions under the influence of a solution of lactic, acetic, and oxalic acids were studied. With an exposure time of 90 days in an aggressive environment, samples of concrete based on a geopolymer binder had up to 6% less loss of strength and up to 10% less weight loss than concrete based on a cement binder. The effectiveness of the developed composition and technological solutions was confirmed, and it was quantitatively expressed in increased compressive strength and tensile strength in bending by 81.0% and 73.5%, respectively. It has been established that raising the heat treatment temperature to 80 °C leads to increased compressive strength for all compositions of geopolymer binders. The most favorable heat treatment conditions are created at 80 °C. The relations of the strength characteristics of geopolymer binders are revealed, which allow a detailed quantitative and qualitative assessment of the influence of the studied factors on the change in the system “composition—hardening conditions—properties” and can be used in the development of production compositions of binders and composites based on them, as well as their regulation—physical, mechanical, and operational characteristics.

One of the most science-intensive and developing areas is nano-modified concrete. Its characteristics of high-strength, high density, and improved structure, which is not only important at the stage of monitoring their performance, but also at the manufacturing stage, characterize high-performance concrete. The aim of this study is to obtain new theoretical knowledge and experimental-applied dependencies arising from the “composition–microstructure–properties” ratio of high-strength concretes with a nano-modifying additive of the most effective type. The methods of laser granulometry and electron microscopy are applied. The existing concepts from the point of view of theory and practice about the processes of cement gel formation during the creation of nano-modified high-strength concretes with nano-modifying additives are developed. The most rational mode of the nano-modification of high-strength concretes is substantiated as follows: microsilica ground to nanosilica within 12 h. A complex nano-modifier containing nanosilica, superplasticizer, hyperplasticizer, and sodium sulfate was developed. The most effective combination of the four considered factors are: the content of nanosilica is 4% by weight of cement; the content of the superplasticizer additive is 1.4% by weight of cement; the content of the hyperplasticizer additive is 3% by weight of cement; and the water–cement ratio—0.33. The maximum difference of the strength characteristics in comparison with other combinations ranged from 45% to 57%.
