CONSTRUCTION WORKS AND UPKEEP OF BILDINGS FROM AUTOCLAVED CONCRETE

Abstract

This article presents the indicators of production of autoclaved aerated concrete in Ukraine and neighboring countries. It is shown that in the conditions of increase of requirements of thermal resistance to enclosing designs aerated concrete have advantages over traditional wall materials. Modern scientific concepts of improvement of the constructive decision of the wall made with use of cellular concrete are considered. The main problematic issues in the use of aerated concrete in the wall structures of buildings and structures are presented. The main tendencies of improvement of quality of protective coverings of wall constructions from autoclaved aerated concrete are revealed. The main reasons for the negative consequences of the use of aerated concrete in the enclosing structures of buildings are revealed. The main technological features of aerated concrete storage, construction process and its operation in wall structures, especially in the first years of operation of the building are indicated. It is shown that the balanced humidity of the wall is achieved during 12 years of its operation. A number of measures for external finishing of a singlelayer wall from aerated concrete, aerosilicate are resulted. The main approaches and recommendations for ensuring the efficiency of aerated concrete in the enclosing structures of lowrise housing are identified.
