INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS ON CONCRETE EFFICIENCY INDICATORS

The article presents the results of studies of the influence of technological factors (clinker factor of cements, grain composition of aggregates, cement consumption in concrete, modifier additives) on technical and environmental indicators of concrete efficiency. It has been shown that in combination, the parameters of clinker and CO2 intensities characterize the clinker efficiency of concrete, which can be improved by replacing part of the clinker in mixed cements with active mineral additives.  Optimization of the granulometric composition of fine and coarse aggregates and the use of superplasticizers of the polycarboxylate type ensure the formation of a dense microstructure of the cementing matrix, which allows to increase the strength of concrete by 1-2 classes with an unchanged cement consumption and helps to reduce the CO2 emission rate. With the correct combination of various technological factors affecting concrete mixtures, a real opportunity is created to produce modern low-carbon concrete that meets the requirements of sustainability
