Fine-Grained Fibre Concrete of Run-Of-Crusher Stone Using Volcanic Ash

Abstract

The results of the studies on the creation of self-compacting fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete based on run-of-crusher stone with the use of a polyfunctional additive D-5 are presented. Compositions of self-compacting fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete with the use of basalt fiber have been developed, which significantly reduce cement consumption and improve the characteristics of fine-grained concrete mixture and concrete. Using a polyfunctional additive D-5in mixtures makes it possible to increase the strength properties of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete while improving the concrete mixtures’ rheological characteristics. Replacement of cement up to 10% of the mass by ash fraction d<0.14 min fine-grained concrete mixtures does not cause a noticeable decrease in the concrete strength properties. The developed self-compacting fine-grained fiber-reinforced concretes have increased strength properties and have a low-cost price due to the use of local raw materials and run-of-crusher stone.
