BOOK DESCRIPTION:
The modern building materials science, along with the constructional characteristics of materials, includes the theoretical concepts, allowing to predict properties of materials and to operate them actively. The theoretical concepts of construction materials science are based on the complex of the physical and chemical, geological-mineralogical and other sciences studying a structure and properties of material objects. Construction materials science is inseparably connected with technology of materials and products, methodology of their quality indicators and testing. This book discusses how scientific and technical progress actively affects the development of construction materials science.

NEW RESEARCH INFORMATION!
MODIFIED SUPER SULPHATE CEMENT (SSC) WITH ENHANCED PROPERTIES
The technology of SSC with application of low-alumina blast-furnace granulated slags and phosphorgypsum as sulfate component has been worked out at the Department of Construction Materials of National University of Water Management and Nature Resources Use. As opposed to the well-known traditional technologies, the suggested method permits to use slags with aluminium oxide content less than 7%, such slags are manufactured at the metallurgical enterprises of Western Russia, Ukraine and many European countries. Phosphorgypsum is a wide-spread and cheap waste of the mineral fertilizers industry.
We have worked out the optimum composition of the binder, required grinding fineness and ways of its achievement has been defined, required admixtures for obtaining SSC with 28 days strength of 50 MPa, technical properties and longevity of SSC have been studied.
The binder hardens at normal conditions and at steam curing, it can be applied for the obtaining of wide range heavy-weight and light-weight concrete, precast and monolithic structures and items, at the same time SSC consumption does not exceed Portland cement consumption for the same strength. Modified SSC has high water-, weathering- and sulfate-resistance, frost resistance of the concrete based on them is in the same limits as that one based on blast-furnace slag cement.
The advantages of modified SSC comparing with Portland cement and blast-furnace slag cement are: significant reduction in energy consumption, clinker saving, possibility of wide utilization of industrial wastes, including application of low-alumina blast-furnace granulated slags for high-strength SSC manufacturing and high ecological efficiency.
