Abstract
Annually enterprises in the field of manufacturing of products from aerated concrete generate from 5000 to 10000 m3 of solid production waste. One of the perspective and under-investigated direction is the practical application of solid waste using a porous aggregate in structural-heat-insulating lightweight concrete in the production of construction materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using crushed aerated concrete as a large aggregate in lightweight concrete for structural and thermal insulation purposes and to establish optimal conditions for obtaining products with the best characteristics. There were defined the qualitative indicators of crushed aerated concrete, analyzed factors influencing on the preservation of the properties of concrete in time, selected the composition of concrete aggregates from crushed concrete, studied the structure and properties of the obtained samples in the research. It has been found that to obtain effective constructive insulating lightweight concrete using waste production of aerated concrete as an aggregate is possible due to the fractionated pre-treatment of the aggregate with water dispersion of deep-penetration acrylic copolymers, insertion excess sealing water to concrete mixture, including optimization of the rheological properties of the concrete mix due to insertion of polycarboxylate hyperplasticizer.
