The technology of production of oil road bitumen is analyzed. It is shown, that the existing methodology of assessment of bitumen quality at the asphalt concrete factory does not guarantee the reliable information on material quality. The cause of it is the methods of bitumen testing regulated by effective normative documents that leads to significant delay of information on material properties regarding the real technological process. The nonconformity of the practice of using normative documents regulating the methods of control over quality of oil road bitumens to processes of its changes at all stages of its life cycle is noted. It is shown, that for solution of the problem of road construction quality it is necessary to develop and introduce into the practice the rapid test methods that ensure the acquisition of reliable information on the quality of bitumen and asphalt-concrete mixes in real-time mode.

Keywords: bitumen, oil economy, oxidation, dispersion of indices, technical standardization, motor roads.

The actuality of developing methods of modification of basalt fiber for improving the efficiency of its use in cement concretes of various functional purposes is substantiated. Methods of thermal treatment of fiber have been developed. To study the alkali resistance of fiber the experimental simulation of natural processes taking place during the hydration of cement stone in connection with the processes of changing the microstructure of the fiber surface is proposed. On the basis of the analysis of changing the microstructure of fiber surface, active centers, phase composition according to data of IR-spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence analysis of fiber before and after the thermal treatment, the phenomenological model of the process of modification of basalt fiber surface in the course of thermal treatment is proposed.

Issues of the influence of shrinkage on the strength of concrete are considered. It is shown that with increasing the weight of cement in the mortar composition the shrinkage is composed of air and contraction components and its value increases because of contraction. It is established that the decrease in concrete activity leads to bigger increase in shrinkage deformation than the reduction of sand fineness. The introduction of a microfiller of metakaolin type into the composition of mortars leads to reducing their shrinkage and formation of more compact structure.

Keywords: durability, strength, concrete shrinkage, cement mortar, deformation, structure, metakaolin.
