Applications of fiber in the production of building products
The aim of the work is to study the possibility of using mineralized fiber as a damping additive in the production of paving slabs and curbs. Fiber mineralization was carried out with an electrolyte solution and sodium silicate. An assessment was made of the physical properties of fiber and their influence on the physical and mechanical properties of fine-grained concrete, hardening both under normal conditions and after heat and moisture treatment. It was revealed that the strength of concretes modified with fiber and hardening under normal conditions is higher than concretes that have undergone heat and moisture treatment by 4.2%.
