Improvement of functional performance of concrete in livestock buildings through the use of complex admixtures

Abstract

<p>When examining concrete in livestock buildings, signs of corrosion and destruction of concrete floors and walls were found. Experimental studies have identified main critical points that directly affected concrete continuity. Excessive moisture, use of corrosive acidic or alkaline disinfectants and presence of natural excretions of animals (urine and feces) were found in livestock buildings.</p><p>To solve this problem, admixtures were proposed: yellow iron oxide pigment and liquid glass which improve strength characteristics of concrete, its heat resistance and reduce penetrability.</p><p>It was proved by the conducted studies that introduction into concrete of admixtures in quantities from 0.5 % to 2 % has resulted in a 2.8 times smaller depth of chloride penetration as compared to the control specimens. This was due to a decrease in water absorption by concrete when introducing iron oxide, cuprous sulphate, peracetic acid and sodium silicate which reduced pore size in samples.</p><p>It was proposed as an innovation to assess thermal stability of concrete using the method of temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry (TPMS) based on the dependence of evolution of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide from samples of carbonate-containing substances on the sample temperature.</p>Microbiological studies have identified microbes of Penicillium and Fusarium species, bacteria Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which cause corrosion of concrete in livestock buildings. Numerous experiments have shown that the proposed admixtures added to the concrete (based on yellow iron oxide pigment (1.5‒2.0 wt. %), peracetic acid (0.2‒0.3 wt. %), liquid glass (2‒3 wt. %) and cuprous sulfate (0.5‒1.0 wt. %) had antimicrobial properties and thus prospects for their use in animal husbandry
