Promising areas of concrete material science are maximum greening, reducing the carbon footprint, and, at the same time, solving the problems of increasing the cost of raw materials using industrial waste as modifiers for self-compacting concrete mixtures. This study aimed to review, investigate and test from the point of view of theory and practice the possibility of using various industrial types as a nano-modifier in self-compacting concrete with improved performance. The possibility of nano-modification of self-compacting concrete with a complex modifier based on industrial waste has been proved and substantiated theoretically and experimentally. The possibility of improving the technological properties of concrete mixtures using such nanomodifiers was confirmed. The recipe and technological parameters of the process were revealed and their influence on the characteristics of concrete mixes and concretes were expressed and determined. Experimental technological and mathematical dependencies between the characteristics of the technological process and raw materials and the characteristics of concrete mixtures and concretes were determined. The optimization of these parameters was carried out, a theoretical substantiation of the obtained results was proposed, and a quantitative picture was presented, expressed in the increment of the properties of self-compacting concrete mixtures using nano-modifiers from industrial waste concretes based on them. The mobility of the concrete mixture increased by 12%, and the fluidity of the mixture increased by 83%. In relation to the control composition, the concrete strength increased by 19%, and the water resistance of concrete increased by 22%. The ultimate strains decreased by 14%, and elastic modulus increased by 11%.
