Low-shrinkage alcohol cement concrete

Abstract

The article deals with the results from the analysis of the materials properties based on portland cement, polyalcohol and iron-bearing mineral assemblage. These materials are proved to possess higher compressive strength and lower shrinkage properties first and foremost, and besides they secure appropriate structural properties under a design project as well. On the grounds of the tests carried out it has been suggested to use the mix design of glycerin with portland cement and iron-bearing mineral assemblage with the purpose to obtain the material having the high compressive strength and most nearly lacking the shrinkage properties.
