Next-generation road concrete — integration of self-compacting and increased physical and mechanical resistance
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that the creation of innovative concrete with an improved set of physical and mechanical properties is achieved by targeted manipulation of the concrete system using a complex chemical additive that simultaneously exhibits superplasticizing, stabilizing, and reactive properties. The creation of concrete for road surfaces characterized by increased strength and crack resistance from an early age to design values and beyond is achieved by selecting specific components when creating a complex chemical additive that influences the chemical processes within the concrete system, ensuring the formation of a strong concrete structure. It has been established that the addition of an air-entraining admixture to the modified concrete mixture enhances frost resistance, chemical resistance, and water resistance, resulting in concrete with high chemical resistance, increased strength, crack resistance, and frost resistance.
