| Title of the article | The development of energy-efficient wall blocks made of expanded polystyrene concrete |
| Abstract. | Problem statement. The purpose of the study is to develop an expanded polystyrene concrete mixture using crushed expanded polystyrene and local raw materials of the manufacturing enterprise «Kazanskii Domostroitelnii Kombinat» («KDSK») to create the energy-efficient wall blocks. Results. The four experimental compositions were tested. The analysis of the results revealed the optimal composition of expanded polystyrene concrete for producing the heat-saving wall blocks class according to average density D600 and compressive strength B2,5. Conclusions. The significance of the results obtained for the construction industry is to increase the efficiency of buildings thermal protection through the use of energy-saving wall blocks made of expanded polystyrene concrete. In addition, the proposed solution to the problem of recycling the waste polystyrene at the enterprise «KDSK» contributes to increasing the economic and technological efficiency of the enterprise itself. |
