Optimization of properties and structure of lightweight materials using digital methods

Introduction. The solution to problems aimed at improving the efficiency of construction is closely linked to the use of lightweight mineral materials, which include mineral fibres, foam glass, cold-curing cellular glass, cellular concrete, and foam gypsum. Methods and materials. The aim of the research is to study the influence of technological factors on the properties of foam gypsum, as well as on the features of the formation of its structure and optimization of its compositions. The basis of the methodology is digital methods of planning, processing results, and their analytical optimization.
