Description
Summary:The paper describes scientific and technical prerequisites for the development of composition of and production method for hydrophobic complex modifier based on the industrial wastes, including technical lignosulfonates (TLS) as a plasticizing ingredient; oil and fat tar as hydrophobic ingredient; and saponified wood pitch (SWP) as air entraining ingredient. The purpose of the presented studies was the development of an efficient modified concrete composition for construction of irrigation and drainage facilities construction by using a complex hydrophobic modifier. Experimental studies were carried out on concrete samples made of reference and test compositions in the laboratory of the “Building Materials” Department of the National Research Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. Comprehensive studies showed that the use of hydrophobic modifier allows obtaining concrete with water bleeding ratio reduced by 35–40%; reducing the concrete capillary suction and water absorption by 3 times; and increasing water penetration pressure (W8 and more), in comparison with concrete without additives. The developed complex hydrophobic modifier increases the strength by 12-18% and reduces shrinkage strain of concrete by 7.5% in comparison with the control composition without the modifier.
