The presence of a large number of undeveloped areas within the city - now inactive enterprises - creates a negative impact on the urban environment. Since these territories are depressed spaces, the design of new residential areas with characteristic high-rise buildings seems to be a logical path for the development of the city. However, uncontrolled urbanization and dense multi-storey buildings represent a fundamental change in the human environment. The consequences of this approach lead to a deterioration in the air exchange of areas and contributes to the formation of “heat islands” that affect air pollution. This contributes to the deterioration of the environmental and social situation and the emergence of a negative perception of the environment among the population. The worsening of this problem may cause a deterioration in the social climate in large cities. The article analyzes the impact of dense high-rise buildings on the environment located on the territory of non-operating enterprises. Methods for solving this problem are indicated. The results of field observations and studies of the interhouse space are presented, on the basis of which the role of convective flows of thermal origin in the air exchange of urban space is revealed. A comparative analysis of projects for the development of the territory of a former house-building plant with complexes for various functional purposes is presented.

This article presents a new developed calculation methodology, which includes provisions for standard calculations and takes into account the peculiarities of the operation of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete structures operating at large eccentricities of load application. Adjustments have been made to the calculation methodology to take into account the following factors: the standard methodology uses the maximum tensile strength of reinforcement; proposals have been developed to determine the actual resistance of tensile reinforcement, which, in fact, will be significantly lower than the limit. Proposals are given that take into account the limiting deformations of concrete, which, in turn, will be a key quantity for determining the resistance of tensile reinforcement in the cross section. The article also presents the results of experimental studies of a flexible reinforced concrete pillar operating with a load eccentricity equal to e0 = 0.32h. Theoretical calculations and experimental studies were analyzed and appropriate conclusions were drawn.A formula has been developed to determine the real resistance of the stretched metal reinforcement at the time preceding destruction. The calculation algorithm has been compiled. When comparing theoretical and experimental strength, the difference did not exceed 5%.

The structural integrity of many reinforced concrete structures can be broken due to corrosion of reinforcing steel. This phenomenon is quite pronounced in infrastructure where de-icing chemicals are widely used. The aim of this study is to examine the bond characteristics between reinforcing steel and surrounding concrete to evaluate its effect in corrosion. The strength of the bond was studied in terms of elongation load response, cracking behavior.It is shown that the friction between concrete and reinforcement along the edge of the rib prevents the concrete key from sliding relative to the rib. The force due to friction between the reinforcement and concrete at the rib is vectorially added to the cohesion component acting perpendicular to the rib. If friction between the concrete and reinforcement is lost, the only component of bond strength is the force acting perpendicular to the rib. In pullout failure, the friction between concrete and reinforcement is less important than in spalling failure.

One of the main causes of structural failure is fatigue, which is caused by failure under repeated cyclic load. The vibration strength of welded joints depends on the height of the weld catheter, equivalent Mises stresses and general movements of frame assemblies of building metal structures experiencing multi-cycle loading reliability of frame assemblies when they are reinforced.

Increasing the energy efficiency of the construction process involves the use of materials with the lowest material intensity, including thickness, as well as with a reduced content of Portland cement clinker while maintaining or improving the technical characteristics of the products. In this regard, the use of textile concrete products, including concrete sheets, is promising. The development of a composite binder containing components that reduce nega-tive pressure in hardening concrete, and consequently shrinkage deformations and cracking, made it possible to obtain products with the following waterproofness indicators: determined by the ""wet spot"" method: 1.2 MPa; with a filtration coefficient of 5-7×10-11 cm / s; the concrete waterproof grade W12

The article provides an overview of the characteristic defects that occur during winter concreting as a result of violations of the technology of concrete work. The relevance of this topic is justified by the large-scale increase in the volume of construction of monolithic buildings for various purposes: residential, public, as well as various types of structures made of monolithic reinforced concrete. A feature of the review of these defects is in this case their main causes, which are associated with violations of concreting technology due to the need in some cases to accelerate production work. The defects presented in this article were identified based on the analysis of accounting documentation when performing visual surveys in the process of scientific and technical support for the construction of buildings of increased responsibility.

In most countries of the world, the construction industry is one of the main sources of air pollution in urban areas and agglomerations. One of the most dangerous pollutants are fine dust particles PM2.5 and PM10, formed from the production of dusty construction processes. Due to the optimal location of administrative facilities on the construction site, it is possible to reduce the concentration of dust emissions of particles PM2.5 and PM10. In addition, the cost of the dust control method is of concern to contractors, as it leads to an increase in the cost of construction. Therefore, reducing overall transportation costs is another optimization goal. To solve several tasks at once, the study uses multi-purpose optimization using the particle swarm method (MRF) algorithm to find an optimized construction site layout that can simultaneously reduce both the level of pollution from dust emissions and transportation costs.

We have considered the improvement of analytical formulas for the determination of bending moments in a single-span beam with semi-rigid nodes. We have obtained analytical relationships for deflections, angles of rotation, bending moments and shear forces in a single-span beam with semi-rigid nodes. A convenient coefficient from 0 to 1 is used to specify the intermediate stiffness node. The coefficient characterizes the fraction of possible rotation of the support node. When we derived the formulas, we used the assumption of constant bending stiffness of the beam along its length and linear deformation of the beam material under load. We did not consider the cases of loading the beam with concentrated forces and concentrated bending moments in the span. We realize the complexity and necessity of calculating beams with semi-rigid nodes, so we have created a table for easy calculation. In the table you will find the values of the supporting moments depending on the degree of possible angle rotation. With the information about the bearing moments, you can load the hinged beam with them and construct a bending moment diagram. The upper left and lower left values from the table are used to determine the bending moments at the supports. The upper right and lower right values of the table are used to determine the bending moments in the beam span.

Ensuring the reliability and safety of load-bearing structures, buildings and structures is the most important task. The reliability or safety of a structural system is inextricably linked with the elements of this system that provide strength and spatial stability. The importance of each load-bearing element in the building system in ensuring overall mechanical safety is assessed differently. For multi-storey frame buildings, load-bearing elements, for example, columns of the lower floors, if they fail, can lead to a significantly greater volume of destruction compared to the structures of the upper floors. The article provides a methodology for determining criteria by which the level of responsibility of columns can be established depending on their location in the building plan, developed on the basis of numerical studies. As a result, a classification was compiled according to the level of responsibility of the columns of a monolithic multi-story frame building.

The article discusses the key problems of resource and damageability of crane beams over a long period of operation. A classification of the most dangerous defects in crane beams is proposed, taking into account not only the location of the defect, but also the mechanism of its development, as well as possible causes of its occurrence. The focus is on the effect of periodic loading on the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks. The article analyzes international research in order to identify methods and methodologies used to ensure the safety and reliable operation of the objects under study. It is shown that special attention should be paid to periodic examination for the purpose of early detection of cracks of various etiologies and timely adoption of the necessary measures. It has been revealed that the most effective approach to ensuring reliable and safe operation of the object under study throughout its life cycle is the collaboration of modern calculation methods, including fracture mechanics, and experimental techniques during periodic inspections, which will allow the crane beam zones to be ranked according to the likelihood of a defect occurring and reduce risk of sudden brittle failure.

This article is devoted to the analysis of factors influencing the energy efficiency of high-rise buildings. Using the example of the Aquamarine residential complex in the city of Vladivostok, an analysis of high-rise buildings was carried out, calculations were performed, and the results were presented in the form of graphs that reflect the dynamics of the speed of wind flows and temperature changes in the outside air along the height of the building. Changes in these parameters increase the intensity of heat loss, which must be taken into account when developing a space-planning solution and thermal protection of the facades of high-rise buildings.

The paper considers the problem of automatic detection of defects in the geometric parameters of steel ropes of elevator systems using computer vision methods. The features of flaw detection of moving steel ropes based on video sequences are analyzed, associated with the fragmentation of the image of some defects in adjacent frames and the variability of the geometric dimensions of the rope and the characteristics of the defect visible by the camera due to vibrations of the rope during movement. Taking into account the considered features, two algorithms have been proposed: to determine the defect of thickening/thinning of the rope diameter and the defect of undulation. The paper presents the results of experimental testing of algorithms on a special test bench and calculates the reliability indicators of defect detection by the proposed algorithms in the form of precision and recall of detection of each defect individually, as well as the average precision and recall of detection of both considered defects of geometric parameters of the rope as a whole.

The article deals with the peculiarities of the study objectives and test methodology for characterization of different contact zones organized in different ways and requiring different methodological approach for specimen fabrication and testing. The steel plate-concrete contact zone organized by stamping on the steel plate requires the use of steel molds to prohibit horizontal movement. The contact zone between the steel plate and the concrete, organized by the stamping on the steel plate requires the use of steel molds to prohibit horizontal movement. The contact zone of two wooden bars organized by epoxy glue with reinforcing fabric placed between the layers of glue is tested for shear without organizing the prohibition of horizontal movement. The contact zone formed at the connection of a steel plate and incompletely gained strength concrete, with the association of steel bars has features of fixing the actual strength of the concrete part of the specimen. The considered methods have both a number of common features and differences, which are taken into account in the proposed methods of fabrication and testing.

In connection with the revival of interest in wooden housing construction in Russia, the creation of specialized software systems for the calculation and design of buildings and structures made of wood is becoming relevant. One of the most popular systems in the world is light-frame housing construction. As one of the possible tools for automated design of light-frame wooden buildings, this article presents the FrameCAD program, developed at the Department of Metal, Wood and Plastic Structures of the Don State Technical University. Some of its capabilities are presented, allowing you to design wall fences of light-frame buildings, beamed wooden floors, perform calculations of individual frame elements taking into account the requirements of current regulatory documents and automatically generate albums of drawings of wooden structures in the domestic NormCAD program, as well as specifications for them factory made. FrameCAD has been tested in the design of a number of objects. The software product is developed by engineers who have many years of experience in the actual design and construction of light-frame buildings. It continues to be improved and supplemented, and in the future it may become a replacement for similar foreign complexes.

Improving calculation models of concrete based on experimental data, especially when studying the volumetric stress-strain state, is an urgent task. When calculating the containment shells of nuclear power plants under the influence of beyond design basis accidents, it is absolutely important to take into account the available safety margins of the materials used. Under volumetric loading, due to the work of concrete in cramped conditions, its strength and deformation characteristics improve, which is not sufficiently reflected in the regulatory documentation in force in the Russian Federation. Taking into account the analysis of existing test methods, based on the labor intensity and reliability of the results obtained, the optimal method of testing for volumetric loading was identified. The article contains the results of testing the selected test method, taking into account the improvement of the deformation measurement system. They confirmed the effectiveness of using the proposed methodology from the point of view of data reliability and relatively low labor intensity of work.
