The results of a study of the influence of shrinkage deformations on the basic physical and mechanical properties of concrete are presented depending on various production and technological factors. The research methodology took into account the choice of the period of aging concrete in a dry, hot climate to study the influence of physical processes in concrete on its physical and mechanical properties. The influence of shrinkage deformations on the strength characteristics of concrete was studied. an increase in the intensity of mass transfer processes between concrete and the environment leads to an increase in destructive shrinkage deformations, mainly plastic shrinkage of concrete, which lead to changes in the structure and physical and mechanical properties of mature concrete. The consistency of the concrete mixture also influences the amount of strength reduction. with a greater value of plastic shrinkage of concrete, its compressive and tensile strength in bending decreases. the destructive effect of plastic shrinkage on concrete caused depends on a number of technological factors (consistency of the concrete mixture, w/c, temperature and humidity hardening conditions, etc.).

The main properties of slag-alkaline binders were studied to determine their optimal composition. The possibility of controlling the properties of binders developed on the basis of phosphorus and blast furnace slag by introducing corrective additives into the aluminosilicate component of slag-alkaline binders, as well as by changing the type of alkaline component, has been experimentally proven. The conducted studies confirm the effectiveness of the use of sulfate-containing alkaline components for the production of slag-alkaline binders. As a result of the conducted experiments, slag-alkaline binders with an activity of 30 to 110 MPa were obtained. The possibility of regulating the properties of the developed slag-alkaline binders has been established. The required binding strength is achieved by adjusting the composition of the aluminosilicate component by introducing additives and the type of alkaline component.
