The results of studies of the effect of mineral additives of natural and man-made origin on some properties of fine-aggregate concrete with the introduction of a mineral additive from 10 to 25% of the cement weight instead of either a part of cement with an increase in the value of W/ C, or a part of sand with a constant value of the value of W / C are presented. A slight, up to 3%, change in the average density of concrete was revealed. A decrease in the E-modulus from 4 to 14% was recorded when replacing a part of cement, while an increase in the flexural strength, depending on the dosage, was up to 26% (marshallite) and 6% (chemical water treatment sludge), and a decrease in the compressive strength was from 10 to 22%. When replacing part of the sand, an increase of up to 10% of the E-modulus, the flexural strength from 19 to 38% (marshallite) and up to 11% (chemical water treatment sludge) was recorded. The increase in the compressive strength, depending on the type and dosage of the additive, ranged from 8 to 20%. No significant effect of additives on the porosity of cement stone was revealed.
