Abstract
Woodworking industry currently generates a large amount of unused waste suitable for recycling. The solution to this urgent problem is the use of this raw material in construction industry, which would solve many economic and environmental problems. The article describes the main technologies for the construction of residential houses from wood concrete blocks and the features of the construction and operation of such buildings. Methods of comparative analysis of the structure of wood concrete and brick housing construction and the possibility of ecological materials’ effective use in the conditions of the Rostov region on the basis of thermal engineering calculation are also presented. Having analyzed the main characteristics and properties of ecological building material, the main advantages and disadvantages of wood concrete in the construction and further operation of residential buildings are considered.
Highlights
The history of cement-wood material development begins in the 50s of the 20th century in the United States of America
The performed heat technical engineering calculation showed that wood concrete blocks used in the construction of residential low-rise buildings are a good structural material, and have sufficient thermal insulation properties
Wood concrete in the natural and climatic conditions of the Rostov region is an answer to traditional structural building materials
Summary
The history of cement-wood material development begins in the 50s of the 20th century in the United States of America. The emergence of wood concrete is due to a significant reduction in household incomes and a decrease in demand in the residential real estate market. The rapid development of the cement-wood composition contributed to the beginning of its production on an industrial scale. In 1960, the Soviet Union standardized wood concrete and began mass production and further use of the material in the construction of buildings and structures. In the 90s the wood-concrete factories were destroyed and production was discontinued. The structures built in Soviet times from cement-wood material have survived today and have not lost their original qualities 10
