Abstract
Objective. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two additives – the hardening accelerators «Fastkick 111» and «Centrament Rapid 151» on the strength properties of CSM.
Method. To analyze the strength properties of crushed stone-gravel-sand mixtures using strength accelerators, cylindrical samples were developed and tested in accordance with the requirements of GOST R 70455-2022 "Crushed stone-gravel-sand mixtures treated with inorganic binders. General specifications".
Result. A comprehensive study of the characteristics of CPCS samples depending on the dosage of cement and complex hardening accelerators made it possible to develop optimized formulations that ensure maximum material reliability. It has been experimentally established that increasing the cement content in the composition of mixtures leads to a proportional increase in strength indicators. Maximum strength is achieved by adding 4% cement and 2.5% Fastkick 111 to the mixture. At 5 days, the mixture reaches M60 strength, at 7 days – M70, and at 28 days – M80.
Conclusion. The use of additives in strengthening crushed stone-sand mixtures increases the tensile strength of samples, demonstrating improved crack resistance. The "Fastkick 111" additive accelerates the process of laying the top layers of the pavement, reducing the waiting time to three days after compaction; it also helps reduce cement consumption by 20% without compromising strength properties.
