ADVANTAGES OF THE PRODUCTION AND APPLICATION OF GYPSUM-POLYSTYRENE-CONCRETE FACE STONES
Purpose. We performed analyses of constructive solutions of face stones, widely used in modern development. Methods. The research was performed with the use of normative to identify the cost of building products and information data in economical verification of the use of technologies, which provide the increase of investments effectiveness at the expense of cutting down exploitation costs. Results. We described results of theoretical and experimental researches, which have found out the possibility and perspectives to produce gypsum-polystyrene concrete at the basis of gypsum bindings. Conclusions. Comparative data about energy capacity of binding production (portland cement and gypsum binder with low temperature calcination), and filling block (keramzite gravel and polystyrene foamed granular) allowed to acknowledge that gypsum-polystyrene concrete is energy-effective building material. The abovementioned meets the principles of the best available technologies.
