The feasibility study of the low-cement magnesia concretes production

The possibility to produce the vibro- and self-flow lowcement periclase concretes was investigated in the article. It was shown that when the concrete mixture is prepared in conventional conditions the aggregate and the fne ground component based on the fused periclase hydrate very little if any: over three days of the concrete curing the brucite content doesn't exceed 1 %. The data received can be used as the basis for the further development of the magnesia concretes with advanced properties.Ill.1. Ref. 17. Tab. 2.
