This article discusses the use of information systems in concrete technology and the results of research and software development in this area. The main purpose of this study is to develop and test an information system to solve the problem of concrete mix design for constructions of railways. Using information technology allows the technician or researcher promptly receive nominal and working dosages for concretes with different design requirements, to evaluate the effectiveness and the feasibility of use of concrete components. This article discussed the requirement for concrete and constructions of railways and software for the concrete design, its functionality. Author's method of designing the concrete for constructions of railways lies in the basis of the algorithm. The computer program is an implementation of intellectual decision support systems (expert systems). This allows us to solve the task of designing the concrete with specified properties by the characteristics of the components in an interactive and convenient form. The results can be applied to solve various tasks in the research and production of building materials.
