early strength

There were analyzed the ways of reduction of СО2 emissions in the cement industry. It was shown that a significant reduction of СО2 emissions in construction is achieved through the using of composite cements with a lower clinker factor that meets the requirements of the low carbon strategy for the cement industry. In this case, the replacement of part of Portland cement clinker with mineral additives in such cements leads decreasing of their strength, especially at early age.

It is shown that one of the innovative ways of obtaining of Rapid-hardening concretes with enhanced performance for fortifications is the use of nanotechnology techniques related to the directed process of structure formation by modifying of nanoscale elements. The problem of improving of the higher-speed impact stability of high-strength concrete by hybrid reinforcement of their structures at the micro level – by energy-active ultrafine mineral additives and macro level – by dispersed fibers is considered.
