GOST 10060-2012 as the main criterion of frost resistance for all concretes, including fine-grained, established the ratio of the compressive strength of the main and control samples is not less than 0.9, taking into account the coefficient of variation of strength in the series. There are numerous studies in which the dependence of the frost resistance of concrete on the nature of its porosity is revealed, and the criteria of frost resistance in the form of, for example, the ratio of open and conditionally closed porosity are proposed. The article examines the impact of indicators of porosity on frost resistance of mortar (fine aggregate concrete), the basic criterion GOST 10060-2012, and also for frost resistance of the contact zone according to GOST 31357 - one of the normalized indicators of quality of solutions and fine-grained concrete obtained from dry mixes. The purpose of this study is to identify the dependence of changes in the compression and bending strengths, as well as changes in adhesion to the base of polymer-modified fine-grained concrete on the nature of porosity. The frost resistance of 36 compositions obtained using three different Portland cements and three redispersible polymer powders with a dosage from 0 to 3% by weight of the dry mixture was studied. In addition to polymers, low-modulus inclusions in the form of ash microsphere or entrained air are introduced into a number of compositions. The main samples were tested after 75 freeze-thaw cycles according to GOST 31357.

Durability of concrete, including fine-grained, with alternating cyclic temperature effect of the external environment is normalized according to GOST 26633 mark on frost resistance, and frost resistance criterion for all concrete in accordance with GOST 10060-2012 is the ratio of ultimate strength on compression of the main and control samples not less than 0.9 with a coefficient of variation of strength in the series, while for concrete road and airfield pavements is another additional criterion is the loss of mass. In the previous edition of GOST 10060, the ratio of the compressive strength of the main and control samples not less than 0.95 was adopted as the criterion of frost resistance for all concretes. GOST 31357 normalizes the indicator "frost resistance of the contact zone" for a number of mortars or fine-grained concretes obtained from dry building mixtures. This indicator characterizes the ability of the solution or fine-grained concrete to maintain the strength of adhesion to the concrete base after a certain number of freeze-thaw cycles. For the brand for frost resistance of the contact zone from Fkz25 to Fkz100, the number of cycles is taken, after which the decrease in the adhesion strength to the base does not exceed 20% according to GOST 31356, and in this case the coefficient of variation of the clutch values measured in the series is not taken into account. Due to the limited information on the change in the in-series coefficient of variation of strength after cyclic freezing-thawing, as well as the ratio of frost resistance by the criterion of compressive strength and adhesion strength to the base, the purpose of this study was to identify patterns of change in the in-series coefficient of variation of strength and adhesion strength to the base of fine-grained concretes obtained from dry building mixtures based on various Portland cements with the content of various redispersible polymer powders from 0 to 3%. The studies were carried out on the basis of 75 freeze-thaw cycles. This paper presents the results on the change in the coefficient of variation of strength after cyclic freezing-thawing and the ratio of frost resistance coefficients

Low-modulus inclusions in the form of entrained air or ash microspheres in the composition of fine-grained concrete practically do not affect the ratio of the ultimate strength in bending and compression during hardening of concrete under normal conditions. After 75 freezing-thawing cycles, the ratio of the flexural and compressive strengths of fine-grained concrete with ash microspheres did not change, and in concretes with involved air, the influence of factors such as the type and dosage of redispersible powder and the type of cement increased sharply. Low-modulus inclusions have practically no effect on the ratio between the initial elastic modulus and the compressive strength of fine-grained concrete during hardening under normal conditions. After 75 cycles of freezing and thawing in concrete with entrained air, the influence of such factors as the type and dosage of redispersible powder and the type of cement on the ratio of the initial elastic modulus to compressive strength increases sharply. The cyclic freezing-thawing does not affect on the ratio of module and strength in concretes with an ash microsphere. Regardless of the presence of low-modulus inclusions, there is no clear relationship between adhesion to a concrete base and flexural strength of fine-grained concrete. In concretes with entrained air, the increase in adhesion to the concrete base after 75 freezing-thawing cycles, depending on the type of cement and dosage of redispersible powder, was up to 82%, and for compositions with an ash microsphere, up to 62%. Regardless of the presence of low-modulus inclusions, after 75 freeze-thaw cycles, adhesion to the base corresponds to class C-1. With an increase in the dosage of redispersible powder from 0 to 3% in compositions with low-modulus inclusions, an increase in adhesion to the base was noted up to 62%.

The introduction of RPP to 3% by weight of the dry concrete mixture is accompanied by a decrease in the compressive strength of fine-grained concrete aged from 28 days to 37%, and after 75 cycles of freezing and thawing - up to 46%. The decrease in tensile strength in bending at the age of 28 days was 25%, after 75 cycles - up to 23%. The dependence of the initial modulus of elasticity of concrete on the compressive strength remains virtually unchanged after 75 cycles of freezing and thawing. The dependence of the adhesion of MZB to the concrete base with increasing dosage of RPP is ambiguous. The maximum increase in adhesion to the concrete base after 28 days of curing in NU and after 75 cycles of freezing and thawing was 26%. An increase in RPP dosage to 3% leads to a decrease in the initial elastic modulus of MZB to 26% after 28 days of curing in NU and to 32% after 75 cycles of freezing and thawing.

The development of the mining industry calls for an increase in the technical and economic indicators of tunneling operations. At the same time, with increasing speed of construction, intensity and productivity of drifters, the complication of mining and geological conditions exacerbates the problems associated with ensuring the integrated safety of workers in underground conditions. With an increase in the depth of the trunks, the absolute average values ​​of the duration of individual stages of work increase. The average speed of the construction of the trunks varies slightly and is lower than the normative ones. One of the main reasons for this situation is a large loss of time during the construction period and a low level of work safety. The performed studies show that it is necessary, both to increase the technical equipment of construction, and to improve the organization of work and socio-economic working conditions. The best examples from practice show that this allows you to increase labor productivity by 3 times while ensuring high work safety. At the same time, this approach is not yet widely used in modern Russian practice, where the socio-economic situation of the mining industry remains rather severe, and the level of industrial injuries is the highest in comparison with the rest of the economy. The numerical spatial model is a fragment of a rock mass with a size of 80 to 90 meters, in which the tunnel is connected by a span of 6.0 m, adjacent to the vertical trunk. The mating and trunk in the area under consideration are fixed with reinforced concrete lining 500 mm thick. A universal spatial isoparametric eight-node finite element is used to break up the model. The dimensions of the finite elements on the outer regions of the model were 2.5 - 5.0 m, on the inner - 0.25 - 0.5 m. Thus, the principle of combining dense and rarefied grids was used to reduce the amount of information describing the numerical model. The problem was solved in an elastoplastic formulation by a stepwise iteration method. As a result of calculations, all the components of the volumetric stress tensor in the finite elements of the lining and the rock mass, movement and deformation in the nodes of the finite elements were determined. With the help of the developed numerical models, a series of calculations was performed, an array of data was obtained on the stress-strain state of the lining in the zone of coupling effect, quantitative and qualitative analysis was performed. It is established that in characteristic zones of the influence of conjugations, a significant increase in the intensity of equivalent stresses is observed, which leads to a reduction in the load-bearing capacity of the lining by 2 times or more in comparison with extended sections of underground structures. To increase the efficiency of maintaining interfaces during tunnel operation, it is necessary to justify the control actions taking into account the dynamics of changes in the stress-strain state of the lining in space and time.
