Resumen

The problem of increasing the service life of buildings and structures for agricultural purposes operated in aggressive environments is relevant. The aim and scientific novelty of the work were to determine the relationship between the structure and properties of geopolymer concretes in aggressive environments. The properties of various concrete compositions under the influence of a solution of lactic, acetic, and oxalic acids were studied. With an exposure time of 90 days in an aggressive environment, samples of concrete based on a geopolymer binder had up to 6% less loss of strength and up to 10% less weight loss than concrete based on a cement binder. The effectiveness of the developed composition and technological solutions was confirmed, and it was quantitatively expressed in increased compressive strength and tensile strength in bending by 81.0% and 73.5%, respectively. It has been established that raising the heat treatment temperature to 80 °C leads to increased compressive strength for all compositions of geopolymer binders. The most favorable heat treatment conditions are created at 80 °C. The relations of the strength characteristics of geopolymer binders are revealed, which allow a detailed quantitative and qualitative assessment of the influence of the studied factors on the change in the system ?composition?hardening conditions?properties? and can be used in the development of production compositions of binders and composites based on them, as well as their regulation?physical, mechanical, and operational characteristics.
