Abstract. An analysis of the main types of basic building mixtures for 3D printing and the requirements for their basic properties is presented. Using the mathematical planning of experiments, a complex of polynomial models of the properties of cement-ash fine-grained concrete mixtures for 3D printing was obtained. These properties included their "open time" extrusion suitability, the structural strength required for layering the mixture after a certain time after mixing, tensile strength during splitting characterizing the adhesion of layers and the compressive strength of extruded concrete. As mineral admixtures, the concrete included fly ash and the hardening accelerator: building gypsum. A laboratory printer was designed and used for the research. On the basis of the obtained models, an analysis of the factors of the composition of cement-ash concrete mixtures for the investigated properties is carried out. The article shows a solution to the optimization problem according to the criterion of the minimum cost of the composition of a fine-grained concrete mixture for 3D printing using computer software.

1. Introduction
A promising technology in construction production is 3D printing, which allows three-dimensional objects to be created by sequential application of layers of building mixture. 3D-printing allows to minimize the duration of the technological process of erection of structures, the cost of materials and labor, to ensure the creation of various volumetric shapes [1-12].
One of the difficult tasks arising in the implementation of 3D printing is the development of concretes and mortars that take into account the peculiarities of the 3D printer used, the technological requirements for the building mixture and the necessary physical and mechanical properties of the material at various stages of its hardening.
The most common materials used in 3D printing in the construction of buildings and structures are fine-grained fast-hardening mixtures that include various admixtures to improve certain characteristics, various types of fibers can also be introduced [3, 5, 9-18]. There is experience of using several types of concrete mixes [14]. The first one includes mixtures with water-binder ratio (W/B) 0.4-0.5 and superplasticizers to adjust the consistency. Their compressive strength after 28 days reaches 50-60 MPa. The second type of mixtures with W/B = 0.23-0.3 contains silica fume, the required consistency is achieved by adding a superplasticizer. The compressive strength of these concretes reaches 125 MPa at 28 days of age. The use of such mixtures is restrained by the scarcity and high cost of silica fume.
An urgent problem in the design of concrete mixtures is to provide a set of necessary material properties when using available technogenic raw materials.

Analysis of the results of the performed studies allows to establish the recommended [2] range of technical requirements for building mixtures for 3D printing (Table 1).
The properties of concrete mixture and concrete that determine the possibility of 3D printing include the necessary workability, structural strength after a certain time of hardening of the extruded layer, tensile strength at splitting, which characterizes adhesive strength of layers, as well as compressive strength.
Currently no standardized methods for determining the required properties of concrete mixtures for 3D printing. A number of studies have proposed requirements for the individual properties of the mixtures used [14, 18-24].
Workability (formability) is the rheological parameter of the consistency of the mixture over time. To determine the manufacturability of the extruded mixtures, can use some standard techniques, for example, Le [19] used the British test BS1337-9: 1990 and Kazemian [20] American standard ASTM C1437-15. For this purpose the Hagerman mini-cone is used [14].
Open time, or "window of opportunity for printing" is the period during which the mixture can be extruded. The mixture must also have certain adhesive properties for layering. In [19, 21], the open time was determined by measuring the shear stress in accordance with British standard BS1377-9: 1990 and German DIN 398. In another work [22] it was proposed to test open time using the V-funnel method, Vic's apparatus, shaking table and mini-cone immersion test.
The ability to build up, that is, to lay it in layers during the formation of mixtures, is determined by its structural strength after a certain period of time. To determine the ability of the mixture to build up, a method was proposed for determining the deformation when a load is applied to the sample [14]. This parameter correlates with the workability and extrudability of the mixture.
To ensure the necessary properties of mixtures for 3D-printing it is necessary to develop a methodology for the design of their compositions.
The purpose of the research was to develop a method for designing compositions of fine-grained concrete mixtures containing the mineral admixtures, providing a set of necessary properties for 3D printing.
2. Methods
In our studies, cement CEM I 42.5R of Cement Plant Dyckerhoff Ukraine, fly ash from Burshtynskaya thermal power plant, which belongs to type II ash of category B with a residue on a sieve with a mesh size of 45 ^m no more than 25 % (class 2) (EN 450-1:2012) and quartz sand with a modulus fineness of
Mfn = 2.1 meeting the requirements of Russian standard GOST 8736-2014 were used. A polycarboxylate type superplasticizer was used (0.3 % by weight of the binder). As an accelerator for setting and hardening of the mixture, we used gypsum G-5 A II GOST 125-2018.
For determining the properties of cement-ash concrete mixtures was developed and used a laboratory 3D printer (Fig. 1).
The required water amount of was selected to obtain mixtures suitable for extrusion molding; the required workability of the mixture by immersion of a standard cone was within - 10 cm. The structural strength of the concrete mixture was determined using a device (Fig. 2), allowing allows measuring the specific loads in Pa (Fig. 3), which the mixture withstands after a certain period of time required to form one layer.

Based on the data on water demand in l/m3 of a mixture with the required workability and tested in accordance with the accepted planning conditions, a model was obtained:
W = 197 + 28.4Xi + 3.3x2 + 5.2x3 + 13.9x2 +
1231 (2)
+ 2.4xf -5.1x2 + 0.9x1 x2 + 2.9x1x3 + 0.9x2x3.
Analysis of the obtained coefficients of mathematical models (Table 3) and graphical dependencies (Fig. 4-9) allows to obtain important technological conclusions.
The determining factor for the beginning of setting and the structural strength of the studied mixtures is the content of gypsum and fly-ash in the binder mass (Fig. 4, 5). For the splitting tensile strength of concrete, the content of the binder and part of the ash in its have a decisive influence (Fig. 6, 7). In a joint analysis of the models of compressive strength and water demand of a concrete mixture, as expected, the most influencing factors are the binder content and part of the ash in it. For the early strength of concrete, the content of gypsum is essential (Fig. 8, 9).

The design of cement-ash concrete compositions for 3D concreting can be performed using the minimum cement consumption or minimum cost as the criteria for optimality [26].
At high cost of the admixtures, the optimal compositions of concrete mixtures by these two criteria may not coincide. In general, for a cement-ash grained concrete mixture, while minimizing its cost, the condition must be met:
given that
Cc = CCem • Cem + CA ' A + CG ' G + CAdd ' Add + CS ' S ^ min

where Cc , CCem , Ca , CG, CAdd , Cs is respectively the cost of concrete mixture, cement, fly ash, gypsum, admixtures and sand, for example in RUB/kg; Cem, A , G , Add, S is consumption of cement, fly-ash, gypsum, admixtures and sand, kg/m3; Pi... Pm is set quality indicators of the mixture and concrete
based on it; xi... xn are the factors of the mixture composition taken into account in the models; a , b is restrictions on possible values of factors.
The conversion of the values of the parameters of the composition of the mixture, normalized in this study (Table 2) into a coded form for calculations by models was carried out according to the following dependencies:
xl =■
B - 600
x1 =■
A - 30
x1 =■
G - 5

The consumption values of fine aggregate (sand) are found by the formula:
S =

- + — +— + -
^ \pCem p A pG pW JJ
•Ps • (6)
where Pcem , Pa , Pg > Pw and Ps are, respectively, the densities of cement, fly ash, gypsum, water and sand.
For materials used in the study Pcem = 3.1 g/cm3, Pa = 2.9 g/cm3, Pg = 2.4 g/cm3, pw = 1.0 g/cm3, ps = 2.65 g/cm3.
The most rational way to solve this problem is to use the Microsoft Excel software, in particular, its "Search for a solution" application. At the given values of the indicators of the properties and costs of its components under certain restrictions on the values of the factors (in coded values from -1 to +1), the computer program enumerates the possible combinations of factors and parallel, determines, in order to achieve the minimum cost of the mixture, the water consumption necessary to ensure the required fluidity of the mixture according to the corresponding regression equation.
Example
Determine the composition of the cement-ash fine-grained concrete mixture for a 3D printer with compressive strength at the age of 1 and 28 days 15 MPa and 40 MPa, respectively, the tensile strength at splitting at the age of 28 days is 8 MPa, the initial setting time 55 min and structural strength after 10 min hardening 3300 Pa.
The characteristics of the used materials are given above.
We accept the cost of the main components of the mixture for a 3D printer as follows, RUB/kg:
CCem = 5 2; CA =15; CG = 45 CAdd = 7°°; Cs = 1
1. Using the experimental statistical models (Table 3) and substituting the values of the normalized parameters into them, we obtain the constraint functions (4):

2. In equation (3) we substitute the value of the cost of the components of the mixture, and also set the constraints on the values of the factors: from -1 to 1 (in coded form).
3. Using the software application "Search for a solution", find the values of the factors that satisfy the accepted constraints, and minimize the total cost of the mixture: x1 = -0.8; x2 = -0.78; x3 = 1. With
such values of the factors according to coefficients regression equation (Table 3) T = 55 min and Pm10 = 3340 Pa, which corresponds to the required parameters. It should be noted that ensuring the required time for the initial setting time of the mixture setting required a certain increase in other normalized strength indicators, fcm1 = 19.8 MPa, fcm28 = 47.7 MPa and ftn28 = 9.6 MPa.
4. The values of factors in natural form are determined by the equations (5):
Binder = -0.8x + 600 = -0.8 • 200 + 600 = 440 kg/m3 Fly ash = -0.78x2 + 30 = -0.78-(-10) + 30 = 37.8 %
Gypsum = x3 + 5 = 1 • ( 5) + 5 = 10 %
5. Calculated nominal composition of the cement-ash mixture without taking into account the water consumption:
Fly ash = 440 • 0.378 = 166.3 kg/m3 Cem = 440 -166.3 = 273.7 kg/m3 Gypsum = 0.1 • 440 = 44 kg/m3 Additive SP = 440 • 0.003 = 1.32 kg/m3
6. Find the water consumption by the equation (2):
W = 197 + 28.4-(-0.) + 3.3 -(-0.78) + 5.2-1 +13.9-(-0.8)2 + 2.4-(-0.78)2 -5.M2 +
+ 0.9-(-0.8)-(-0.78) + 2.9 (-0.8) 1 + 0.9-(-0.78)-1 = 170.61h

8. The value of the minimum possible cost of 1 m3 of the mixture, excluding the cost of water (found during iterations using the software application MS Excel "Solver"):
C = 5.2 • 273.7 + 2-166.3 + 4.9 • 44 + 700-1.32 +1-1763 = 4658.4 RUB
4. Conclusions
1. Taking into account the peculiarities of the manufacture in the construction of structures using a 3D printer, the necessary properties of extruded mixtures and concretes based on them have been determined. Methods for determining the normalized properties of the concrete mixture, the design of the laboratory printer and the device for determining the required structural strength during its layer-by-layer laying are proposed.
2. A set of mathematical models describing the influence of composition factors on the most important properties of concrete mix on cement-ash binder in the presence of hardening accelerator was obtained using mathematical planning of experiments.
3. Using mathematical programming implemented by the Microsoft Excel software environment and its application "Solver", the possibility of using a set of experimental and statistical models to solve the problem of designing optimal compositions of construction mixtures used by a 3D printer is shown.
