Forecasting of exploitation frost resistance and durability of porous construction products

Abstract

The operative control of porous construction products' exploitation frost resistance and durability evaluation of such products in constructions have particular meaning during the design and building process of special engineering and fortification structures made of concrete, ceramic, silicate bricks and blocks. This can be realized applying the new and original complex method based on properties of various material and long-term observations their behaviour in constructions as well as investigations of proceeding processes. Economic benefit of applying this method to defensive objects is based on the smaller financial expenditures carrying the operative quality control of production, as well as the satisfactory accuracy of the method and possible prolongation of the exploitation duration and the major repairs of the objects.
