Abstract

It is proposed to use high bearing small-size pipe-concrete units in the construction of underground geotechnical structures instead of large-sized reinforced concrete units (support blocks, pylons, columns, etc.). The analysis of the methods of manufacturing pipe-concrete units, their advantages and disadvantages is conducted. The process flowchart for manufacturing pipe-concrete units with barothermal pre-stressing of a concrete mixture in a steel pipe was developed to ensure the collaboration of a steel pipe and a concrete core and increase its strength. Experimental research in barothermal treatment of a concrete mixture in a steel pipe was performed using the laboratory model of a pipe-concrete unit, which showed the efficiency of the proposed technological scheme for the production of pipe-concrete units. The lines for further research in the development of a method for determining the optimal parameters of the technological scheme for manufacturing pipe-concrete units with barothermal pre-stressing of a concrete mix are planned.
