Radical Concrete Technology. Edited by R K Dhir and P C Hewlett. Published in 1996 by E & FN Spon, 2-6 Boundary Row, London SE1 8HN, UK. ISBN 0 419 21480 1. ABSTRACT. This article deals with the total combination of theoretical and technical tasks in creating plant and the automatic systems of control for using microwave energy in hardening and splitting of concrete. The application of microwave energy gives an opportunity of generating heat inside the concrete in stead of usual heat feeding into the wave by means of heat conductivity. It is fixed that if the heating realized by microwave energy is localized the heated area of concrete dilates in comparison with the remaining part of it where rises high stretching tension causing cracks. Keywords: Hardening, Splitting, Microwave Energy, Sliding Mode, Discontinuous Control and Corrective Devices (DC & CD). Professor Vardan S.Mkrttchian is the President of Armenian Automatic Control Council, State University Engineering of Yerevan, Armenia. He specializes in application of microwave energy at radical concrete technology and automatic systems with Discontinuous Control and Corrective Devices for thermo-damp process of concrete production. Mr Souren V.Mkrtchian is a Student in University of Hildesheim, Germany. He is specialized in the modeling of concrete in thermo-damp processes.
