Frost resistance of building solutions from dry building mixtures with modifiers
Abstract
Frost resistance of building solutions from dry building mixtures with modifiers
Incoming article date: 09.09.2024The article deals with the influence of complex mineral additive "chemical water treatment sludge + flask or fly ash" on the frost resistance of building mortars depending on the redispersible polymer powder dosage from 0 to 3%. According to the results of research after 100 freeze-thaw cycles, the condition RF/R0 > 1.2 is met, and the k value according to clause 5.2.4 of GOST 10060-2012 after 100–125 freeze-thaw cycles ranged from 0.94 to 1.73, the minimum value of the relative modulus of elasticity EF/E0 = 0.97, and the residual expansion deformation did not exceed 0.03%. Building mortars with fly ash have higher frost resistance according to the bending strength criterion in comparison with mortars with flask. The frost resistance criterion for bending strength is more “strict” than the criteria according to GOST 10060-2012. It is not advisable to use a dosage of RPP greater than 2% for the production of building solutions with increased frost resistance requirements.
