Abstract
The general set of measures for the operation of buildings implies ensuring the preservation of the facade appearance, including the absence of cracks, delamination and crumbling of plaster, chips, potholes and other mechanical damage on the building facade. The paper contains studies aimed at optimizing the technological cycles of plastering work carried out during the repair of building facades for various purposes. Laboratory and field studies have shown that the use of new innovative methods can improve the quality of repair work regardless of weather conditions.
To conduct the research, a test program was developed based on existing standards, modern devices manufactured by OWEN were used, with the help of which the electrophysical parameters of infrared heating elements, temperature parameters of the plaster solution and its mechanical properties were monitored. The change in the physical properties of plaster materials was studied, namely the amount of formation of various defects depending on the impact of climatic factors on the hardening process of the plaster mix, the impact of climatic factors on the finished plaster coating, as well as the effect of the chemical composition of water on the quality of the plaster mix.
The experiments showed that the use of infrared heating elements with a heat-insulating layer can create a favorable climatic environment with minimal time and material costs, in which the production of facade works will be carried out with high quality regardless of weather conditions. Using the developed infrared heating elements, it is possible to manufacture mobile, portable structures that allow for high quality repair work and a reduction in the cost of work.
