Abstract
Effective modifiers of the structure and properties of concrete based on gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder are chemical additives. Among a wide range of chemical additives, superplasticizing additives can be distinguished. The most effective in terms of water-reducing effect, increasing the mobility and strength of concrete based on gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder are superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate ethers. The paper presents studies of the influence of superplasticizing additives on the physical and technical properties of gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder based on low-grade gypsum and cement binders, and a binary active mineral additive consisting of zeolite-containing marl and microsilica. It has been shown that the introduction of the studied modifiers makes it possible to improve the performance properties of products based on gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder, which is expressed in an increase in compressive strength and an increase in water resistance. Patterns of changes in water demand, setting time, and water-reducing effect of the gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder mixture were obtained when it is modified with polycarboxylate additives of the following grades:“Melflux 2651 F”, “Polyplast type S”, “Polyplast type R”, “SPS-06”, “SPS-08”, “DK-100” and C-3 in comparison with unmodified HCPV, the change in strength with compression and softening coefficient of gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder stone with these additives. It has been established that reducing the water requirement of the gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder mixture by 60 % increases the compressive strength of gypsum-cement-pozzolanic binder stone samples by 33.5 MPa compared to the control composition. It has been shown that the most effective modifiers among those studied are “Polyplast type S” and “DK-100”.
