Modern architecture and materials science are searching for new materials that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. These materials ensure a high quality of life and high energy efficiency in buildings. In addition to operational characteristics, the technological aspects of their production are important. This includes high mold turnover, ease of material fabrication, and the cost of obtaining them. These requirements can be met through the use of additive manufacturing for the production of buildings an...

Gypsum composites are promising building materials, but they have disadvantages such as low strength and water resistance. To improve these properties, a self-reinforcement method can be used, where the gypsum matrix is reinforced with crystals other than gypsum. One type of such crystals is ettringite. To obtain a self-reinforced gypsum composite, it is necessary to maintain a high pH environment and sufficient ions to form ettringite. In this work high-calcium fly ash, which is a waste product of coal combustion...

Construction technologies are among the most critical in terms of negative impact on the environment. Burnt binders, primarily cement and air-lime, emit significant volumes of carbon dioxide and man-made heat. At the same time, a large amount of hydrocarbon fuel is also consumed for their firing. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development goals, the development of alternative binder formulations or innovative ways to produce traditional binders with low carbon emissions is necessary. The synthesis of low-carbon...

Gypsum-based materials and products currently deserve special attention from specialists in many industries. They are distinguished by high environmental friendliness, manufacturability and safety. The construction industry is showing additional interest in their increased comfort, reduced sound insulation and thermal insulation. Obtaining crystallization structures directly from gypsum dihydrate using a non-hydration hardening scheme competes with many modern technological approaches. In the production of non-fir...

Improving the performance of the gypsum binder is possible by strengthening the gypsum matrix. The increase in strength is ensured by the introduction of a complex of mineral and chemical additives. The use of waste as components of such a complex solves a set of problems. The market is saturated with competitive and high-quality materials. Designed materials meet modern requirements. In addition, the problems of waste disposal, freeing up space, environmental protection and reducing the resource intensity of prod...

The work is devoted to the study of fuel ash as components of composite cements and building mixtures based on them. The use of bottom ash as raw material is an urgent problem. On the one hand, their use in production solves the issue of creating resource and energy saving technologies and increasing the efficiency of cements and concretes. The use of ash makes it possible to improve the properties of cements, bricks, products from aerated and heavy concrete, light aggregates, and the quality of road construction....

In the article synthesis of structures of disperse systems on the basis of gypsum is considered. Such systems are necessary for receiving materials which exclude burning of raw materials on the basis of gypsum waste for the receiving binders. For them use a certain composition of raw mix. Selection of structure of compositions allows to increase properties of materials. Such materials are characterized by high strength. The process of formation of structure of a gypsum which is received by hyper pressing is studie...
