Abstract

The article analyzes the conditions of buildings construction in town Shakhty after the closure of coal mining enterprises. The appearance of deformation processes after old mine workings were flooded, is usually accompanied by uneven surface deformations and cracks formation in load-bearing structures is noted in the article. The positive effect of polypropylene microfiber additives on the deformation properties of Portland cement masonry solutions was studied, as it significantly reduces the probability of cracks in building structures. The results of experimental studies of mechanical properties of compositions with optimal dosage of polypropylene microfiber are presented. An increase in flexural and compressive strength of microfiber-modified samples was noted in comparison with the control ones. The dependence of ultimate deformations on normal stresses is established, which allows predicting the permissible ultimate deformations of masonry. The module of the total solution strain was evaluated.
