Calculation of the Composition when Designing Concrete Mixtures for Continuous Formless Molding

The article is devoted to the computational part of the general methodology for designing the composition of a concrete mixture, taking into account the plasticity characteristics that are important in the technology of formless molding. On the basis of mathematical dependencies obtained as a result of theoretical and experimental studies, systems of equations are proposed, the solution of which is the consumption of raw components in the composition of the concrete mixture. To solve systems of equations, a computer program has been developed making it possible to obtain a solution by brute force method.
