Abstract
The article presents studies’ results of cementless lightweight concretes based on porous granular aggregate. Lightweight concrete components are specially synthesized from mixtures containing liquid sodium glass and thermal energy waste with various fineness. Thermal hardening of a matrix based on liquid glass and technogenic fillers at a temperature of 350ºС provided heat-insulating concrete with 480 kg/m3density and compressive strength of 4.7 MPa. The aim of the work is to study operational stability of lightweight concrete from genetically related components. Durability of lightweight concrete was evaluated in terms of hydro physical properties, resistance to frost and salt aggression, and cyclic heating. Methods of physical and mechanical testing of concrete have been used in the work. X-ray phase analysis and electron microscopy were used to study materials’ composition and structure. The results of complex tests showed stability of the structure of liquid glass concrete based on porous aggregate to the impact of operational factors. The lightweight concretes developed are characterized by a softening coefficient of 0.81; they withstood 50 cycles of alternating freezing and thawing, 20 cycles of cyclic exposure at a temperature of 1050ºС and 20 thermal cycles at a temperature of 250ºС; staying in aggressive sulfate and chloride magnesium solutions.
