Improvement of Energy Efficiency of Enclosing Structures with the Use of Lightweight Masonry Mortars

When arranging one-layer enclosing structures made of efficient small-piece articles, it is necessary to use «warm» mortars. Existing lightweight mortars have insufficient grade strength and not always ensure the homogeneity of the enclosing structure due to the relatively high average density. The efficient reliving filler for such mortars is hollow ceramic micro-spheres. The development of lightweight masonry mortars with hollow ceramic microspheres is presented. Optimal compositions have been developed, their main properties have been determined. The influence of the percentage of hollow ceramic micro-spheres in the mix composition on the micro-structure of masonry mortar, its physical-mechanical and technological properties has been studied. Lightweight masonry mortars with hollow ceramic micro-spheres, which make it possible to improve the energy efficiency of enclosing structures, have been obtained.
