Abstract

The object of this study is the processes of shielding electromagnetic radiation by building and facing materials. The research is aimed at solving the problem of ensuring the electromagnetic safety of people by improving the composition and structures of building and facing materials.

Means for improving the electromagnetic safety of people under industrial and domestic conditions using non-homogeneous building materials have been determined. The shielding properties of reinforced concrete structures were studied. A methodology for increasing their efficiency depending on the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the radiation that needs shielding has been devised. The efficiency of electromagnetic radiation shielding by heterogeneous dielectric building materials based on cement concrete and basalt fibers was determined. It was established that shielding through the refraction of electromagnetic waves on inhomogeneities does not give an acceptable effect. The expediency of covering basalt fibers with a conductive substance to increase the protective properties of materials was substantiated. The protective properties of flat facing material with carbonyl iron content were studied. It has been shown that the properties of materials can be effectively controlled by adjusting the filler. The material's transmission coefficient of ultra-high frequency electromagnetic radiation does not exceed 0.40, and the reflection coefficient – 0.25 with a filler content in the base of 14–15 % by volume. This makes it possible to simultaneously ensure the electromagnetic safety of people and the stable functioning of wireless communication devices. The advantage of the material is the low coefficients of reflection of electromagnetic waves, which does not lead to deterioration of the electromagnetic situation in other areas where people stay. It has been established that the addition of boron nitride to the facing material significantly increases the thermal insulation characteristics of the coating and contributes to the solution of energy saving problems. Adding a layer containing boron nitride to the material provides thermal conductivity coefficients of 0.030–0.031 W/m·K, which is better than known analogs
