Abstract
Improving the performance characteristics of road and airfield pavements made of cement concrete largely depends from the chemical additives that are used. In addition to these additives, mineral additives are widely used in monolithic concrete for industrial and residential construction. These additives are called microfillers. In Ukraine, these additives are not used for transport concrete. This is probably due to the requirements for the composition and operating characteristics of road concrete. However, the positive experience of using mineral additives in monolithic concrete for road construction in different countries, as well as for industrial construction in our country, leads to the need to conduct appropriate research. The composition of concrete for road and airfield construction must necessarily include superplasticizers and airentraining additives. The article examines the influence of mineral additives that can be included in road concrete along with chemical additives on the properties of road concrete. The results of the effectiveness of their use in this direction are presented
