Search for Ranking Approaches of Expanded Clay Concrete Quality Criteria

Abstract:

The article is devoted to ranking of quality criteria for multiparameter, multicriteria production technology of lightweight concrete depending on their significancy using fractal formalism. The proposed approach allows to determine the operation area of stability of the physicomechanical properties of expanded clay concrete with preset technology parameters depending on the size of their self-similarity area and to control the technological process relative to the determine parameter - watertightness. For concrete thin-walled hydraulic structures watertightness is one of the main indicators of quality, ensuring the durability of structures. In the experiment conducted on 15 points optimal plan, 3 factors of the composition varied: sulfate-resistant portland cement, silica fume, water reducing admixture. Possibility of ranking the indicators of W/C and physicomechanical properties of expanded clay concrete depending on the variation of concrete mixture components is shown. Stability of physical and mechanical properties of expanded clay concrete is necessary to ensure its durability and accordance with design requirements. Expanded clay concrete similar to those described in this article can be used in reinforced concrete shipbuilding to reduce weight of structures.
