In recent years, the use of concrete (cement concrete) bases and coatings of roads and industrial sites has begun to revive in road construction. Employees of the Department of «roads» BGIT together with students for several years under surveillance for cracks in the monolithic cement concrete layers of coatings. The article presents the results of field surveys of cement concrete coatings of highways of the Bryansk region and industrial sites in order to identify the causes of cracks in the expansion joints. We have examined the sections of roads with cement concrete coating on some plates near the seam and found the formed transverse cracks. They were located mainly along the seam, the maximum opening width reached 5 mm. the Maximum distance from the seam 30 cm. Cracks along the seam were located unevenly and had a diverse shape. We have also calculated several variants of pavement with cement concrete coating on different bases. As a result of the survey were tested: the coefficient of compaction of the base material, the compressive strength of concrete in the coating plates, the technology of works on the device of coatings and expansion joints in them, as well as the control of the project materials submitted by the design organization, including the project of works. In conclusion, the following main causes of cracks in monolithic cement concrete coatings of roads and industrial sites can be identified: errors made in the calculation and design of the pavement structure; errors made in the calculation of the length of the plates, the appointment of reinforcing bars in the seams; errors in the construction of cement concrete pavement construction organization (if device transverse control joints and expansion joints in compression, buckling and longitudinal). The study material is generalized, road and construction organizations are given recommendations for the elimination of cracks, some measures to prevent their occurrence are indicated.

The global warming of cement concrete pavement from raw material extraction to road construction was analyzed by the method of life cycle assessment. The characterization results showed that the procedure of producing material is the most important stage to emit greenhouse gas and it accounts for 98.5% of the global warming potential that caused by the material production and construction stage. For the materials used in different structure layers, surface layer is the biggest impact of greenhouse and accounts for 68.9% of the total impact caused by material used in constructing pavement. Therefore in the future, by using recycled materials or more environmental materials will be a good way to reduce environment impact.

Abstract. Problem. World experience shows that high operational performance of road coverings in the conditions of intensive traffic with high speeds of motor transport and sharp braking are provided by introduction of cement concrete. One of the effective solutions for the construction of high-quality, dura-ble, economical pavements is the use of roller-compacted concrete - a no slump concrete with low water-cement ratio, that is placed by an asphalt pav-er similar to asphalt pavement construction. The design of quality mixtures of roller-compacted con-crete is based on performance, construction require-ments and economic efficiency. Goal. The purpose of the work is design the compositions of roller com-pacted concrete and investigation of their strength. Methodology. Roller compacted concrete samples were tested for compressive strength and tensile bending in accordance with DSTU B B.2.7-214:2009. Results. The four variants of mixtures are designed to select the optimal composition of roller compacted cement concrete. The first of one is based on the particle size distribution of aggregate grains in ac-cordance with DSTU B B.2.7-127:2015, the second variant shows the composition of normal-weight cement concrete class C25/30, the third variant is characterized by increased sand fraction and in the fourth composition fine fractions replaced with sand. Road rolled concrete С32/40 Bb b5.2 is designed. Originality. Roller compacted cement concrete for effective road construction technologies is designed, which allows to perform the installation of high per-formance cement-concrete pavement with the use of asphalt pavers and rollers and the possibility of rap-id commissioning of cement-concrete pavement. Practical value. Designed composition of roller compacted concrete with the use of local Ukrainian materials allow to ensure the construction of cost-effective, durable road pavement with the possibility to carry out the movement on the cement concrete pavement after 1-3 days.

The article is devoted to the problem of improving the durability of cement concrete to cover the road through the use of additives. The purpose of the work-improving the durability of cement concrete to cover roads through the use of hydrophobic additives. Object of study-cement-concrete to cover roads. Method of research: statistical analysis of scientific publications, technical and normative literature. In Ukraine, there are almost no necessary types and brands of road cement, so the research and application of existing binders with effective additives is an urgent problem, the solution of which will expand the nomenclature of cement binders for road Construction, improve the durability and resistance of cement concrete covering roads, bridges and airfields, as well as to solve security issues. For this, it is possible to use chemical additives that kolatating pores, give the surface of concrete water-repellent properties, involve in the concrete mixture of air. Based on the modern representations of the physical- xiemia of superficial processes, it can be concluded that the introduction to the concrete mix of small-scale kremnijorganicnih substances together with the water of the closing, will allow to significantly improve the durability and strength against At the same time for the concrete of aggressive factors and load. The influence of hydrophobic additives on physical, mechanical properties of cement concrete to cover roads is investigated. Based on the experimental results, it is determined that the application of 0.1­0.15% hydrophobic additives 136-157 M has a significant increase in the durability of cement concrete for the seal of roads.

Research evolution timely tendencies, in the nonconventional technologies field, are: manufacture conditions optimization and complex equipments design. The increasing of ultrasonic machining use, in various technologies is due to the expanding need of a wide range materials and high quality manufacture standards in many activity fields. This paper present a experimental study made in order to analyze the welded zone material structure and welding quality. The effects of aluminium ultrasonic welding parameters such as relative energy, machining time, amplitude and working force were compared through traction tests values and microstructural analysis. Microhardness tests were, also, made in five different points, two in the base material and three in the welded zone, on each welded aluminium sample. The aluminum welding experiments were made at the National Research and Development Institute for Welding and Material Testing (ISIM) Timişoara. The ultrasonic welding temperature is lower than the aluminium melting temperature, that's so our experiments reveal that the aluminium ultrasonic welding process doesn't determine the appearance of moulding structure. In the joint we have only crystalline grains deformation, phase transformation and aluminium diffusion.
