EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF AGGREGATES AND WATER-CEMENT RATIO INFLUENCE ON THE RELATIVE DEFORMATION OF HEAVY CONCRETE

Abstract

The article considers the principle of evaluating the dependence of relative deformations of heavy concrete at different water-cement ratios and aggregate quality, which will allow for a better assessment of the bearing capacity of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. It has been established that with an increase in the water-cement ratio, a clear increase in the relative deformation characteristics of concrete is observed. The use of high-quality fillers increases the relative deformation index compared to medium and low-quality fillers.
