“…Additionally, by increasing the amount of green space in cities, natural habitats for bees and other pollinating insects increase [15]. The authors of the work [16] also indicate that implementing food, energy, and water production systems on urban rooftops can potentially help cities become more self-sufficient.…”

The growing demand for watertight concrete structures is conducive to the development of research in this area, but their results are rarely published. In order to partially fill this gap, the authors of the publication present the results of research into the effect of fly ash addition on the watertightness of concrete. Prior to the tests, a recipe for a concrete mix with the addition of a sealing admixture modified with fly ash was developed. The following properties were analyzed: consistency of the concrete mix, air content in the concrete mix, compressive strength of concrete, depth of penetration of water under pressure, and frost resistance of concrete for F150 level. The work meets the expectations of the construction industry with respect to the production of concrete structures resistant not only to the penetration of water into concrete but also resistant to aggressive substances dissolved in water that accelerate the destruction of concrete and corrosion of reinforcement bars. Based on the test results, it was found that the addition of fly ash to the concrete mix enhances the positive impact of the applied sealing admixture, increasing the tightness of the concrete. It reduces the depth of penetration of water under pressure and therefore increases the frost resistance of concrete.
