EN AUTOMATION OF SELECTION OF CONSTRUCTION MIX WITH ADDITIVES OF TECHNOGENIC RAW MATERIALS

Today, there are a large number of programs (calculators) on the market for calculating concrete mixtures, proportions, and composition, all of which somehow calculate only traditional mixtures consisting of cement, sand, and crushed stone. Stocks of traditional raw materials are being depleted, while the amount of man-made raw materials is growing. In this regard, the additives of man-made raw materials in the composition of building mixes are increasing from year to year, which suggests that the need for them is in demand. Unfortunately, the composition of the construction mix with additives of man-made raw materials is still determined only manually, followed by calculating the mass of an ingredient, without taking into account the density of the material. In this regard, the relevance of the study lies in the need to automate the process of selecting a building mix with additives of man-made raw materials. Considering that the problem is not only practical, but also scientific, interest in it is quite high.

The purpose of the research is to develop a methodology for an automated system for selecting building mixes with additives from man-made raw materials based on the use of information technology.

The developed program allows you to select the composition of the construction mix, which includes man-made raw materials (metallurgical slag, bauxite sludge, fly ash).

Calculation results: optimal composition of the construction mix, weight, total cost of the construction mix in tenge. The calculation results are displayed in Excel form. The parameters cost, density, and number of ingredients of the construction mix can be updated using artificial intelligence technologies. 

The program allows you to analyze calculation data based on visualization in the form of graphs, diagrams, and subsequent management decisions. The resulting compositions of building mixes need laboratory experiments, depending on the purpose.  The efficiency of using the developed program ensures the selection of a large number of building mix formulations that are simply not possible to perform manually. The scientific novelty of the developed program consists in the development of an original algorithm and the absence of analogues of the source code, which allows obtaining both practical and scientific results.

The developed program "Automated system for selecting the composition of a building mix with additives from man-made raw materials" can be used for practical purposes in business processes of small and medium-sized businesses, during scientific experiments (master's degree, doctoral degree), in the educational process of the educational program "Information Technology", Automation and Control, "Building Materials".
