Abstract
The compositions of gas and foam concrete with improved acoustic characteristics were developed. The optimal form of porosity, which contributes to the absorption of sound waves, both in the range of audible frequencies and at infrasonic and ultrasonic frequencies, is revealed. The mathematical model for designing sound-absorbing concrete was improved, taking into account both the porosity of the composite and the influence of the porous aggregate. The laws of synthesis of aerated concrete and foam concrete are established, which consist in optimizing the processes of structure formation due to the use of a polymineral cement-ash binder and blowing agent. The composition of the composite intensifies the process of hydration of the system, which leads to the synthesis of a polymineral heterodisperse matrix with an open porosity of more than 60%. Peculiarities of the influence of the “Portland cement – aluminosilicate – complex of modifiers” system on the rheology of the concrete mixture was identified, which can significantly reduce shear stress and create easily formed cellular concrete mixtures. The increased activity and granulometry of aluminosilicates predetermine an increase in the number of contacts and mechanical adhesion between particles during compaction, strengthening the frame of inter-pore septa. The mechanism of the influence of the composition of the concrete mixture on the microstructure of the composite is estab-lished. The presence of refined aluminosilicates and a complex of additives in the system along with cement contribute to the synthesis of the matrix with open porosity, thereby increasing the sound absorption coefficient.

INFLUENCE OF ARTIFICIAL CALCIUM HYDROSILICATES ON THE HARDENING PROCESSES AND PROPERTIES OF NON-AUTOCLAVE SILICATE MATERIALS BASED ON UNCONVENTIONAL ALUMINOSILICATE RAW MATERIALS

 19-28 p.
Abstract
Оne of the possible ways to improve the properties of building materials is to modify the processes of structure formation, which can be realized through the use of crystalline primers. In this regard, it is urgent to study the effect of artificial calcium hydrosilicates on hardening processes, as well as the properties of non-autoclave silicate materials based on non-traditional aluminosilicate raw materials. Studies have shown that the addition of artificial calcium hydrosilicates (CSH) in an amount of 1-1.5 wt. %, when the content in the mixture of CaO is less than 10 wt. %, effectively increases the strength parameters of products at all stages of heat and moisture treatment from 8 to 16%. The most intense increase in strength is observed during the heat-moisture treatment (TBO) from 3 to 6 hours and is at least 13%, while in samples without the addition of artificial calcium hydrosilicates, the strength increase is 6%. The addition of artificial calcium hydrosilicates intensifies the processes of structure formation, which ensures an increase in crystalline matter, and, due to the fibrous structure, acts as a fiber, which contributes to the nano-reinforcement of the cementing substance formed from neoplasms in the CaO-SiO2(Al2O3)-H2O system based on clay rocks and calcium oxide. Due to the accelerated set of strength, it is possible to reduce the duration of isothermal exposure while maintaining the necessary performance characteristics.

Abstract
The most important direction of resource saving in construction is the widespread use of secondary material resources, which are waste products. The use of secondary products of industry as raw materials for the production of various building materials is very important, because it provides production with rich sources of cheap and, often, already prepared raw materials; lead to lower costs for the production of some building materials, and therefore saves capital investments intended for the construction of buildings and structures; release large areas of land and reduce the impact on the environment. The article deals with heat-insulating and structural-heat-insulating materials, with partial replacement of components by ash-slag waste (ASW): lightweight concretes with broken glass and concretes modified with sulfur. Properties of concretes modified with sulfur are investigated: compressive strength, density and thermal conductivity. In accordance with the obtained properties, a comparative characteristics of the received materials with existing building materials was carried out: sulfur modified concrete and lightweight concrete; lightweight concrete using broken glass and claydite-concrete. Thermophysical calculation of multilayer hencing is made. In each of the options, one of the following materials was selected as a structural and heat-insulating material: lightweight concrete using broken glass and sulfur modified concrete. Also, for each type of hencing, the necessary heat-insulating and structural materials were selected. In the economic part, the cost of the raw materials necessary to obtain 1 m3 of the investigated materials and the cost of 1 m3 of multilayer hencing, which includes the investigated concrete, are calculated.

Abstract
The requirements of modern construction are the strength of building structures, as well as low cost. It is these conditions that provide new technologies that are constantly being improved. The article is devoted to the consideration of cases of a probabilistic approach to solving the problem of theoretical energy consumption for the destruction of concrete of ideal structure.
The processes of concrete deformation and its destruction are studied by building mechanics. Concrete is a multicomponent material, which presents a certain difficulty in the study of crack formation. In operating conditions, the concrete/reinforced concrete structure is affected by the properties of its constituent materials; therefore, one of the most important tasks is the selection of criteria that can comprehensively characterize the basic parameters of concrete. Obtaining the strength characteristics of concrete of operated structures remains an urgent task. The article proposes to consider the ideal structure of concrete. The features of this structure are the symmetry of fracture along two principal planes. The destruction of concrete was carried out by sawing individual strips of concrete. Moreover, to describe the sawing process, the authors proposed a model of a symmetric structure of concrete in which aggregate grains are idealized. They are presented in the form of balls in the body of concrete.
The features of the sawing process are revealed. The analytical dependencies of fracture sawing the ideal structure of concrete are obtained.
Conclusions are drawn about the possibility of using the ideal model for obtaining the strength characteristics of concrete. The analysis of symmetrical ideal concrete compositions with various variables is performed. The significance of the work done lies in the possibility of transferring the research results to real buildings and structures and solving the main tasks that are posed in the study.

Abstract
This work is devoted to the problem of developing vibration-damping polymer materials with high damping properties in a wide temperature range. The study of the effect of modifying additives on the strength, damping, adhesive and cohesive properties of a butyl rubber composite is the aim of this work. The task is to identify the actual temperature, frequency, dynamic and mechanical characteristics of a composite material based on butyl rubber depending on the type and concentration of resins. The key methods for studying this problem is the dynamic mechanical analysis method, aimed at obtaining information about changes in the dynamic properties of polymer materials (bond strength with metal when peeling samples of composites, determining the flow resistance of samples, determining the migration of plasticizer). Due to the established experimental dependences, it was found that the addition of resins (3% by weight) in the composition based on butyl rubber leads to an increase in the damping properties of composite materials, and an increase to (4.25% by weight) leads to their decrease. It was established that the obtained filled mixtures with a high damping peak and good adhesive and strength properties are mixtures with the addition of alkyl phenol-formaldehyde resins.

https://doi.org/10.34031/2618-7183-2020-3-2-55-62
 55-63 p.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the emergence of modernism as a cultural response to the conditions of modernity to change the way people live, work and react to the world around them. In this regard, the following tasks were formulated: 1) study the development of modernism on the world stage, 2) identify its universal features, and 3) analyze how the independence of Central and sub-Saharan Africa in the 1950s and 1960s coincided with a particularly bright period of modernist architecture in the region, when many young countries studied and asserted their identity in art. The article analyzes several objects of modernist architecture in Africa: urban development projects in Casablanca (Morocco), Asmara (Eritrea), Ngambo (Tanzania). The main features and characteristics of modernism which were manifested in the African architecture of the XX century are also formulated. It is concluded that African modernism is developed in line with the international modernist trend. It is also summarized that modernism which differs from previous artistic styles and turned out to be a radical revolution in art is their natural successor.
