To expand the raw material base of such construction, in addition to traditional high-quality aggregates from crushed granite, quartz sand and manufactured sand, it is advisable to use some types of waste and secondary products from various industries. They must meet the basic requirements for density, strength, frost resistance. These include a by-product of iron ore mining, quartzite. The use of quartzites as aggregates for cement concretes has certain difficulties due to their characteristics. This is reflected, first of all, on the strength of the concretes in which they are included. In this article, the features of the influence of quartzite aggregates on the strength of cement concretes are considered. Studies that have been carried out on mixtures of different mobility have shown that dusty particles, which are part of quartzite, have a positive effect on the structure of concrete.","PeriodicalId":369033,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Building Practice","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138954966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mix time of Slurry Surfacing mix (having different cement content) with bitumen emulsions on both orthophosphoric and hydrochloric acids is characterized by parabolic relation, branches of the parabola going down. Still, parabola slope steepness for Slurry Surfacing with cement and bitumen emulsions on orthophosphoric acid is higher than for emulsions on hydrochloric acid.

In the article, following an analysis of crack injection methods in RC structures, an economically viable method for injecting RC beams is proposed. The core approach of the proposed crack injection method involves the process of introducing epoxy resin into the crack, which occurs by gravity flow (without specialized equipment and pressure). The paper outlines a systematic process for preparing the crack in the RC beam for epoxy resin injection. The crack injection method was conducted comprehensively, including the restoration of the compressed concrete zone within the RC beam. The test results demonstrated the effectiveness of the crack injection method, as there were no new crack formations at the injection sites, and the load-bearing capacity of the RC beam was restored to 115%.","PeriodicalId":369033,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Building Practice","volume":"122 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138953820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
