Abstract The article presents aspects of the production of new functional building materials based on foam glass, reproducing the geological processes of formation of natural minerals and rocks. The creation of heat-insulating and structural glass composites (TCS) with increased strength requires the development of a new theoretical base that allows one to design various composites with an amorphous-crystal structure, which forms the specified properties. Two methods of amorphous matrix reinforcement are considered: physical and chemical (or thermochemical). Regularities of formation of porous glass composites are established. The values of technological parameters that are necessary for obtaining glass composites with the specified properties are determined. It is shown that the developed materials can be used for the construction of unique structures with reduced heat transfer. The resulting materials can be used to produce light prefabricated segments, which is important for transportation and installation in the Northern regions.
