Lightweight plastering compound using volcanic tuff

Abstract

Lightweight reinforced plaster coatings include a group of special types of textile concrete, which also includes concrete sheets and reinforced plaster coatings, including lightweight and heat-insulating ones. Any type of textile concrete starts with a modified binder, whose composition is currently under development by international and domestic research institutions. Active mineral additives (both natural and by-products of other industries) can be used in the binder, and it is also possible to use construction waste prepared accordingly. Development of the scientific basis for selecting the composition and the formation of a methodology for selecting the composition of the modified binder as the main component of textile concrete, including the use of finely ground construction waste obtained during the dismantling of construction projects, including within the framework of the housing renovation program. The article talks about research that aimed to create a way to choose the binder's ingredients, guess its properties, and get the best light plaster coatings using a new hydraulic binder, volcanic tuff, and construction waste. The use of a composite binder will expand the possibilities of using these materials, and the introduction of finely ground waste will reduce the consumption of Portland cement clinker, which also increases the energy efficiency of such materials.
