Abstract

In most high-strength concrete technologies, high-quality Portland cements are used, which is not always achievable in conditions of a shortage of such binders.

The research’s purpose is to obtain high-strength concrete based on ordinary Portland cement of the M400 brand. To achieve this goal, the possibility of using the superplasticizer Conplast SP430 was studied.

The research was carried out using standard methods, like using mathematical planning and result’s analytical processing.

The implementation of the experiment allowed us to determine the optimal values of the basic composition of concrete: the consumption of superplasticizer-1.0 % of the mass of cement; the consumption of cement-485 kg/m3, the ratio of sand/crushed stone-0.36. At the optimal value of the parameters, the achieved maximum compressive strength was 58.8 MPa.

The novelty is the justification of the possibility of obtaining high-strength concretes using Portland cement with an activity not exceeding 40 MPa based on the use of a new generation superplasticizer and the development of the basics of the method for selecting the composition of concrete.

The significance of the result is due to the expansion of the possibility of using ordinary Portland cement for the production of products and structures with the use of high-strength concrete.
