All Aspects of Using Aerated Concrete in Modern Construction
In this article, we will examine the results of research on binding agents intended for the production of autoclaved aerated concrete. A primary issue with binders based on Portland cement is their significant shrinkage. It was found that adding unslaked lime and colloidal gypsum helps form a strong cement stone with an expansion effect. The optimal composition of additives was determined using mathematical planning methods
