Influence of titanosilicate powders on the strength properties of concrete mixtures and their ability to self-cleaning

The effect of titanosilicate additive on the strength and self-cleaning properties of concrete mixes was studied.It was revealed that the titanosilicate additive helps to increase the strength of fine-grained concrete. The maximum increase in strength is observed when the content of the additive in the amount of 1 wt. %. There is a complete degradation of the organic dye on the surface of the concrete under the influence of both UV and visible light. The use of titanosilicate additive in the composition of the concrete mix will make it possible to obtain fine-grained concrete with increased strength and a self-cleaning surface.
