Abstract
The article presents the results of studies of the influence of drilling cuttings on the properties of cement-based foam concrete mixture and foam concrete of natural hardening. For the arrangement of oil and gas fields it is proposed to use a by-product of oil production - drilling cuttings as a fine aggregate for the manufacture of structural and heat-insulating foam concrete for monolithic construction. Replacing silica sand with drilling cuttings will solve the problem of the availability of high-quality fine aggregate for the production of non-autoclave foam concrete at the field of development sites, and will also solve the problem of disposal of drill cuttings as waste. Partial and complete replacement of sand with drilling cuttings in the technology of non-autoclave foam concrete preparation leads to an increase in the compressive strength of foam concrete at the age of 28 days. The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building which is accredited in accordance with the national standards requirements. The developed composition of cement based foam concrete is recommended for constructing monolithic walls at a construction site or wall blocks in factory conditions for individual housing construction.
