DEVELOPMENT OF A HIGH-PERFORMANCE BUILDING BLOCK USING POLYSTYRENE FOAM, ENGINEERED CARBON AND FOAMING FORM

Abstract

A working hypothesis for the development of a new construction material based on cement (C) using expanded polystyrene (PPS), technical carbon (TC) and foaming agent (PU) is proposed.The issue of improving the economic and energy indicators of construction due to the use of a new building material created on the basis of the synergistic effect of the use of positive characteristics of cement, expanded polystyrene, technical carbon and foaming agent is discussed, and the effectiveness of the use of each of these materials is considered.The main characteristics of lightweight PPS aggregate as an energy- and resource-saving new material are highlighted, the main advantages of using technical carbon as a material for increasing the strength and density of the frame are highlighted. The use of foaming additives to reduce the weight of the building block is considered.
