The life cycle of a capital construction project is considered as an integrated closed system that helps solve such construction industry problems as time and cost overruns, productivity limitations, and labor shortages. Of particular complexity is the integrated design of the material composition for special structures taking into account its life cycle. The following raw materials were used to conduct experimental studies to select the optimal concrete composition: sulfate-resistant cement grade CEM I 42.5 CC, crushed stone of fractions 5–10 mm and 10–20 mm, sand, water, superplasticizers Sika Plast-2500 LFC and Sika ViscoCreete 5-600-SK, air-entraining additive SikaControl-95 Aer, nanosilica. Concretes for different types of hydraulic structures (gravity-type platforms and dry docks) are calculated using different combinations of selection for each of the concrete classes (use of concrete of one, two, three or more classes). Despite the economic benefit in this application of three concrete classes, the choice of concrete classes C40 and C45 is a more advantageous optimal-technological option, since the quality level of the structure with this selection is higher. At the same time, the efficiency of concrete increases when closing their life cycle such reusing concrete scrap.
Possible ways to improve the properties of concrete using secondary fillers are the use of thermal and moisture curing, the use of pozzolanic materials, etc. To reduce the negative impact on the strength of the composite, it is necessary to determine the chemical impurities in the materials used based on concrete scrap.
