The freezing temperature of the belite sludge of minus 2 ° C was determined by the thermoelectric method. Its compactibility in the range of negative temperatures, the ability to restore the destroyed structure after re-compaction, the regularities of cooling of the material during technological operations for the construction of structural layers in winter are studied. The compaction was studied by pressing samples from sludge of optimal humidity, at its temperatures from 20 to minus 10°C.

A complex of unique physical chemical and technological properties of natural belite sludge has been identified, which consist in maintaining the initial density and activity after freezing, the ability of sludge and sludge crushed stone materials to harden at negative temperatures, a reduced freezing temperature of minus 2°C, good compaction in the range of negative temperatures (up to minus 6°C). The temperature and technological parameters of the sludge preparation for the production of works in winter are investigated.
