EVOLUTION OF APPLICATION IN CONSTRUCTION LIGHT CONCRETE
The regularity of the appearance of light concrete in construction practice is shown, predetermined by the problems of ensuring the technical feasibility and durability of buildings. The prerequisites for the emergence of gasfilled concrete technologies are formulated and their connection with the development of fundamental sciences is crossed out. The types of raw materials suitable for the manufacture of highquality foam concrete are listed. The comparison of the operational properties of fibropen concrete with the traditionally used types of wall materials is given. The possibility of expanding the range of foam concrete products with dispersed reinforcement with synthetic fibers is substantiated. Examples of successful application of the expanded product range in construction practice are given.
