Advantages in Production and Application of Cellular Concrete Blocks
The increase in prices of energy carriers leads to an increase in the cost of cement, which also leads to an increase in the cost of construction. In this regard, investor-developers anddesigners have become more often used cellular concrete in the construction. This type of concrete deserves wide application in the construction of buildings of any purpose due to itsexcellent thermal qualities, operational advantages, durability and sufficient strength. The use of ashes and slag in the production of cellular concretes makes it possible to reduce theconsumption of expensive cement, which in turn reduces the cost of buildings and structures without quality deterioration. Research and industrial introductions of the technology ofproduction of cellular concrete on the basis of TPP ashes make it possible to give reasonable recommendations for its wide implementation. The use of production wastes provides anopportunity clean up large areas of land and prevents further pollution of air and water basins, improves the environmental situation in the areas of industrial zones. Modern construction,mainly in a metropolis, is marked by a new direction for Russia - the construction of high-rise buildings. In this regard, it seems rational to provide for the full use of structuresmade of cellular concrete in the projects of high-rise buildings. Among these structures it is necessary to highlight the widespread use of small blocks suitable for enclosing buildingswith any number of storeys.
