Slag-alkali binder (SAB) is obtained by polymerization of granulated blast-furnace slag (aluminosilicate component) ground in a ball mill with an alkali activator, resulting in an environmentally friendly hydraulic polymer binder. Slag-alkali concrete (SAB) based on SAB has become an alternative to traditional concrete based on portland cement (PTC). Reinforcement bars in combination with SAB make it possible to obtain concrete structures with high adhesion properties to reinforcement compared to concrete based on portland cement. However, due to differences in the production process of SAB, there are obvious differences in technical properties, including adhesion characteristics. However, proper standardization is needed for its production and operational testing to limit contradictory results in the laboratory and on the construction site.

Concrete paving slabs for road construction are made from mixtures consisting of hydraulic binder, fine and coarse aggregates and water. The prepared mixture of a given humidity is subjected to vibration molding under the following technological conditions: process duration 5–10 seconds, vibration frequency 30–50 Hz and pressure 70–80 kg/cm2. Hardening of freshly molded samples is carried out in a heat and humidity treatment chamber. It has been established that it is possible to replace natural coarse aggregate with fractionated scrap concrete. The compressive strength of concrete with aggregate based on recycled crushed stone is 300 - 400 kg/cm2, water absorption 4.8 - 6.2%, frost resistance F2 200 - 300. The proposed technology allows solving both economic and environmental issues for regions with large amounts of concrete scrap at temporary industrial waste storage sites.

As a result of artificial carbonization of slag, construction materials can be obtained. For this purpose, a technology has been developed for producing durable construction products as a result of accelerated carbonization of slag minerals with carbon dioxide (CO2) at elevated pressure (up to 2 MPa) and temperatures (20-60°C). The carbonates formed during the carbonization reaction act as a binder, sticking the slag particles together. Carbonized compacts after autoclave processing have technical properties equivalent to conventional concrete products made on the basis of Portland cement. The technology was developed in laboratory and production conditions by optimizing the parameters of the technological process (pressing force, temperature in the autoclave chamber, carbon dioxide pressure in the autoclave chamber and carbonization time) taking into account the increase in compressive strength and frost resistance of the samples.

The influence of blast furnace ground granulated slag on the kinetics of strength gain of concrete prepared with a composite binder was revealed. The composite binder contained Portland cement in amounts of 70, 60 and 50%, and the rest was ground granulated slag. It has been established that at the early stage of strength development, concretes made with a composite binder have a strength lower than concrete prepared with Portland cement by 10-24%. However, at the age of 28 days, the strength of concrete using a composite binder corresponds to the strength of concrete using Portland cement. Using polycorboxylate hyperplasticizers, it was possible to obtain concrete with a W/C ratio of 0.25-0.35, which made it possible to obtain high early strength exceeding control compositions by 10-20%.

To solve environmental problems related to the disposal of broken bricks, the preparation of new places for building residential complexes, as well as the expansion of the resource base for the production of building materials, clay brick scrap after the renovation of buildings is considered as a major substitute for concrete mixtures. The main physical and mechanical properties of concretes were studied. It has been established that concretes obtained on the basis of coarse aggregate from brick scrap have the properties of concretes based on natural aggregates of the M250-350 grade. The use of scrap clay bricks as fillers requires a special technology for preparing the latter in order to reduce its water demand. The conducted studies have shown that it is expedient to design concrete mixtures based on secondary resources based on a complex binder consisting of Portland cement, finely ground clay brick cullet and hyperplasticizer.

The aim of the work is to study the possibility of using mineralized fiber as a damping additive in the production of paving slabs and curbs. Fiber mineralization was carried out with an electrolyte solution and sodium silicate. An assessment was made of the physical properties of fiber and their influence on the physical and mechanical properties of fine-grained concrete, hardening both under normal conditions and after heat and moisture treatment. It was revealed that the strength of concretes modified with fiber and hardening under normal conditions is higher than concretes that have undergone heat and moisture treatment by 4.2%.

Hardening of concrete in the conditions of a construction site under constantly changing temperature and humidity conditions does not provide the desired performance properties of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. An assessment was made of the influence of the conditions of hardening of concrete samples at a water-cement ratio (W / C) of 0.45 and a hardening of 28 days. The hardening of concrete samples took place under conditions of a normal hardening chamber (air temperature T = 20 ± 50С, humidity W = 90 ± 2%), samples in water when completely immersed in a bath at water temperature T = 20 ± 30С and samples immersed in a plastic bag , hardening in the conditions of the air environment of the laboratory (T=20±50C). The samples gain the greatest strength when hardening completely immersed in water, and the smallest when hardening in an insulating polyethylene sheath.

The hardening of steel-making slags is slow and the strength properties of the cement stone do not provide the specified operational properties. By creating an optimal composition (steelmaking slag + blast furnace) and chemical activation, a composite material with high strength is obtained. The compressive strength of concrete samples at the age of 28 days of hardening in a normal hardening chamber is 28 to 54 MPa. Caustic soda and sodium silicate were used as a chemical activator of hardening. The greatest strength is provided by the ratio of chemicals as NaOH: Na2 SiO3 × nH2O = 1: 1 and at a dosage of 8% of the mass of the composite slag-alkali binder. The optimum ratio of ground granulated blast furnace slag and steelmaking slag is 3: 1 to obtain high compressive strength and minimum water absorption in the early stages of hardening.

The purpose of the study is to determine an effective modifier of the structure of a slag-alkaline stone, characterized by a low value of linear shrinkage and a decrease in cracking in the early stages of hardening. Ground blast furnace slags were activated with aqueous solutions based on sodium silicate and caustic soda. Fly ash and zeolite-containing clay were used as modifiers of the cement stone structure at a dosage of 5, 10 and 15% of the binder consumption. The results of the study showed that an increase in fly ash content does not significantly affect the setting time. The use of zeolite-containing clay as a slag-alkali binder modifier makes it possible to regulate the setting time of the binder at a dosage of more than 10%. Cracking of the slag-alkaline matrix was observed only for mixtures without fly ash and zeolite-containing clay.

The authors have developed a device consisting of a system of perception of images of printed characters and a personal computer (PC), which determines the types of characters. According to the program developed by the authors, the PC contours the image of the printed symbol in a rectangular matrix consisting of the cells of the PC's storage device. As a result of the edging of the shape of the printed symbol, essential and necessary signs were determined - the directions of the elements of the shape of the symbol, according to which, using the developed algorithm, the PC determined the type of this symbol relative to others. The perception system includes a small-sized television tube - a vidicon with a generator of sweeps of a vidicon beam on its screen vertically and horizontally, two channels and a coincidence circuit. The developed system of perception is distinguished by: simplicity of design, compactness, efficiency.

Porous concrete is a new type of concrete with high permeability of water flows. It is advisable to use this type of concrete in road construction for the device filtration zones. This will allow to remove water from the carriageway, especially in places where there is no storm sewer. Infiltration of water flows through concrete pavement coatings contributes to their rapid removal from the surface, reducing slipperiness and water planning. The use of macroporous concrete will minimize flooding of car parks and roads. The results of the study confirm that permeable concrete surfaces function stably over time and are not silted with sand and soil.

The use of ultrathin sand as the main raw material in the production of concrete made by semi-dry molding is relevant for many regions of Russia due to the lack of sand with a high modulus of grain size and solid stone. The article presents the results of the analysis of the possible use of sands with a modulus of particle size Mcr = 0.8-1.4 in pressed small-sized concrete paving products for sidewalks. Replacing ordinary sand up to 80% with fine-grained does not reduce strength and performance properties. The transition to fine-grained and silty sands reduces the cost of production.
