Development of building structures with individual characteristics taking into account the conditions of Uzbekistan

Abstract

The climatic conditions of Uzbekistan (cold winters, very hot summer days) require building materials with high energy efficiency. This article presents the possibilities of creating energy-efficient, sustainable and local raw materials-based building structures, taking into account the natural-climatic and geological conditions of Uzbekistan. Aerated concrete blocks are widely used in the construction industry as a lightweight, heat-retaining and relatively inexpensive material. In particular, ways to improve the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of aerated concrete blocks by adding steelmaking slag (SMS) and waste quartz sand are studied. Its strength can be increased and the cost of raw materials can be reduced by using local industrial waste. The study improved the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of aerated concrete blocks using steelmaking slag (SMS) and waste quartz sand. As a result, it was found that the addition of these materials improves the strength of aerated concrete by 12-13%, and thermal insulation by 1-1.5%. Also, the use of waste helps reduce the cost of raw materials and increase environmental efficiency. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of this technology in the development of energy-efficient and affordable building materials in Uzbekistan. Based on experimental data, new composite compositions were developed and their effective results in terms of thermal conductivity, density and strength were demonstrated.
