RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
The article examines modern methods for testing dry cement-based floor coverings in accordance with GOST requirements and European EN standards. Methods for determining the grain size modulus of sand, which affects concrete density and strength, are presented. An analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of sand during the development of new dry floor mixes was conducted.
