Multifunctional chemical additive for concrete composites
Abstract
Multifunctional chemical additive for concrete composites
Incoming article date: 12.04.2024This paper presents the results of experimental studies on the development of a chemical additive for concrete and mortar mixtures to establish a modifying effect. A chemical additive was developed - a multifunctional cleaning agent - “LOC”, in order to establish its modifying effect for concrete composites. The results of the experimental studies confirm the effectiveness of the chemical additive under study as a modifier. Composite material samples modified with the developed product show higher technical characteristics: the obtained BC samples correspond to the concrete grade for workability - P3, when the standard sample has a grade - P2, the compressive strength of the control BC samples, with a chemical additive - ""LOC"" in an amount of 1%, increases by 28%, the established optimal dose of the additive being developed - Ministry of Emergency Situations - “LOC” for Bx and mortar mixtures is 1%, which guarantees its economic efficiency.
