Analysis of physical and mechanical properties of vacuum treated claydite-concrete

Abstract

In this article the analysis of the impact of some physical and mechanical properties of vacuum treated claydite-concrete is presented. The work purpose is to describe in detail the results of the experimental and analytical studies of the claydite-concrete composition influence on the vacuum treatment intensity and amount of removed water. These results are obtained by solving the following problems: compressive strength investigation of the claydite-concrete samples; consideration of the phenomenon of "self-vacuuming treatment" of the porous aggregate as a factor, promoting claydite-concrete strength; consideration of such an aspect as "adhesion between claydite-concrete and reinforcement", and the porosity learning as a factor of the quality assessing of the building products and structures. A scientific and technical hypothesis is formed, which assumes the possibility of the practical recommendation developing for vacuum treatment intensity of the claydite-concrete. As a result, this gives an opportunity to intensify the concrete hardening.
