Abstract

Composite structural modifications based on hydraulic inorganic binders and foam glass aggregate fractions were prepared. Formwork moulds were developed for the moulding of composite test bodies using different technological approaches. A series of experimental specimens meeting the requirements for standard laboratory tests were obtained. The role of the technological regimes used in the formation of the structural characteristics and performance of the composites is examined. The existing possibilities for further modification and potential application of the obtained composite materials are analysed.
