the effect of a thickener and a setting retarder on the technological properties of GSHS START is investigated. One-factor plans of a two-factor model have been developed, with a minimum (0.1%; 0.005%) and maximum (0.2%; 0.05%) dosage levels of pore-forming and water-retaining additives, respectively. Regression equations of output parameters in the form of a second-degree polynomial are obtained using regression and correlation analysis of experimental data. The values of partial correlation coefficients are analyzed. With an increase in the dose of water-retaining and pore-forming additives from 0.1% to 0.2% and from 0.005% to 0.05% of the binder, respectively, for all possible combinations of the dosage of the thickener and setting retarder, there is an increase in setting time by 10 ... 72%, and sliding by 33 ... 80%. The least sensitive to an increase in water-retaining and pore-forming additives was a mixture in which the amount of thickener is 0.2% (at the upper level), and the amount of moderator is 0.04% (at the lower level).

The highest values of bending strength are achieved with a 0.9% reinforcement percentage and a ratio of fiber length to diameter equal to 1444.
