https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2022-5-4-30-38
Abstract
Today, preference is given to composite binders. The use of dispersed mineral fillers makes it possible to realize the potential of binders to a large extent, which leads to an increase in the physico-mechanical, operational and technical properties of composite binders, as well as building materials based on them, and reduces the consumption of expensive binders. The creation of highly effective composite binders is based on the management of their production technology at all stages: the selection of raw materials, the development of optimal compositions, the use of mechanical activation of raw materials, the modification of composite binders with functional chemical additives, and some other methods. The use of volcanic ash in the world is quite diverse, it is used not only as additives for building materials, but also it has found its application in medicine. Many countries are beginning to use volcanic ash as a building material. The article presents the results of obtaining binder compositions of optimal composition based on Portland cement and volcanic ash. Experimental studies of the granulometric composition have been carried out, the results of tests of binder compositions of the compositions: cement – volcanic ash, prepared in a vibratory mill, have been presented. The results of physical and mechanical tests of binder compositions with different content of volcanic ash, activated for 10 and 20 minutes in a vibratory mill, have been obtained. Research work has been carried out to study the microstructure of volcanic ash.

DESIGNING THE COMPOSITION OF ASPHALT CONCRETE BY THE CALCULATION METHOD

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2022-5-3-5-16
Abstract
The article proposes a promising technology for designing asphalt mixes based on the method of "irregular packing" of figures of different sizes and shapes. The calculation has been improved and adapted to deter-mine the bulk density of asphalt concrete depending on the content of bituminous binder. A detailed algorithm for designing asphalt mixes based on the "irregular packing" method is described. MS Excel spreadsheets have been created with calculation formulas for converting the grain composition of the mineral part of the asphalt concrete mixture, the content of bituminous binder by volume and recalculating the bulk density of asphalt concrete, the content of air voids, voids in the mineral aggregate and voids filled with bituminous binder. In order to justify the application of the "irregular packing" method of figures of different sizes and shapes in determining the bulk density of asphalt concrete, the results of the calculated data were compared with laboratory tests of control samples during the preparation of ShMA-16 and A 16Vn asphalt concrete mixes at the plant, as well as cores taken from the coating on highway. As a result of the comparison, it was found that the discrepancy between the obtained experimental and calculated values in terms of bulk density does not exceed 0.02 g/cm3, and in terms of the content of bituminous binder, less than 0.2%.

TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A DEMOUNTABLE FOUNDATION FOR TOWER STRUCTURES

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2022-5-3-17-26
Abstract
The paper proposes a new type of modular demountable reinforced concrete foundation for the construction of tower-type structures. Numerical modeling and design features of the manufacture and installation of the foundation, implemented under patent 2633604 “Demountable foundation for support” for a real tower with a height of 30 meters and a power of a 150 kV wind power plant, are given. The reduction of material consumption is achieved due to the formation of a cavity in each typical module and filling it with soil or any inert material. The result of the proposed solution is to increase the bearing capacity of the foundation as a whole, increase the strength and rigidity of its main joints, as well as simplify installation in comparison with traditional approaches to design. Moreover, the foundation modules, where maximum stresses occur, can be made of fibre concrete.

SOLID CARBIDE TOOL WASTE RECYCLING TECHNOLOGY

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2022-5-3-27-34
Abstract
Carbide materials are widely used in various industries. However, due to the limited world reserves of tungsten and cobalt, as well as the accumulation of hard-to-process waste of solid carbide materials, the question arises about alternative sources of raw materials. So a large amount of waste is generated by the manufacturing industry. The main methods of processing require a significant consumption of reagents and energy, are distinguished by the toxicity and aggressiveness of working media, and a variety of special equipment. Electrochemical methods make it possible to significantly simplify the technological scheme and hardware design of the process, reduce the duration of recycling waste and improve environmental performance. The paper presents a technique for the disposal of carbide tools by the electrochemical method. Comparison of the compositions of electrolytes and current sources is carried out. Under comparable conditions, the highest current efficiency during oxidation of WC/Co alloys is achieved in nitric acid electrolytes. However, when using nitric and hydrochloric acids, harmful substances are released during electrolysis. Further experiments were carried out using sulfuric acid. The optimal reducing agent has been determined - hexamethylenetetramine. Powders of anode sludge were obtained, which were investigated by thermal analysis and energy dispersive methods. The chemical composition of the sludge has been established, which is defined as 20% oxide and 80% tungsten carbide.

INVESTIGATING THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL STABILITY FOR CSG DAMS

https://doi.org/10.58224/2618-7183-2022-5-3-45-54
Abstract
Due to the increasing human demand for dam building, as well as the progress and development of this industry, engineers are always trying to move in the direction of two factors: cost reduction and environmental protection. Dams with Symmetrical profile dams (trapezoidal plate) made of material (cement sand and gravel - CSG) are a new types of dams that have been used widely in countries in recent years. Cement, sand and gravel are used in dam bodies presenting properties between concrete dams and earth dams. The raw materials used in these dams include riverbed sand, drilling debris and aerated rocks, and so on. Indicating that the choosing of aggregates among these materials is not very strict and there is no necessity for equipment for grain sorting. As a consequence, this not only reduces resource consumption and environmental degradation, but also reduces operating costs. So the dam is called “zero emission dam” (dam without pollution) in abroad, and has been known as a kind of environmental protection hydraulic structures. Distinctive features of this type of dam are “material rationalization”, “construction rationalization” and “design rationalization”. The specialized design of these dams is a combination of finite element design and dynamic analysis method. Because these two methods can simultaneously provide a di-rect and reasoned assessment of internal and external stability. For the basic design of a trapezoid-shaped CSG dam, strength and modulus of elasticity in linear range are used as material properties of CSG. , Nevertheless, taking account of plasticity of CSG, the trapezoid-shaped CSG dam is considered to have enough safety margin against stress generated during earthquakes. In this article, introduction of a trapezoid-shaped CSG dam, result of stress analyses and dynamic properties of CSG confirmed by cyclic loading tests are described. From the test results, it is confirmed that a stress-strain curve clearly showed non-linearity compared with concrete. The elasticity of stress- strain relationship was confirmed by cyclic loading tests under conditions that the maximum compressive stress did not exceed the linear range of CSG.
