Strength and deformation characteristics of fiber concrete modified with a peat additive

Abstract

Dry mixtures are widely used in modern construction. Development of new modifying agents for improving of dry mixtures performance characteristics and increasing its economic efficiency is an important problem. The paper presents study results of the effect of additives based on thermo modified peat on properties of cement mortars. It is established that introduction of additives in the mortars compositions provides improving of their strength and deformation properties.
