The transitional type of pavement of highways is widespread in Russia. At the same time, the increased estimated time between repairs cannot be fully ensured by the adoption of existing design solutions for the installation of transitional pavement pavements. This is confirmed by the dynamics of changes in the operational state, presented on the example of the road of regional importance Birakan - Kuldur in the section km 0+000 - km 25+000 in the Jewish Autonomous Region. Non-failure operation during the estimated overhaul and estimated service life of the pavement is assessed by the destruction coefficient, the limit values of which are set in the regulatory documentation. A significant decrease in the pavement destruction coefficient during the first few years of operation indicates insufficient strength and stability of the transition pavement pavement, which determines the need to develop special measures to ensure them.

When choosing an intensification method, the assessment of thermal-hydraulic efficiency is an important criterion. In this paper, the thermal-hydraulic efficiency of the pulsating method of heat transfer intensification was assessed as applied to an in-line tube bundle. The thermohydraulic efficiency was estimated by comparing the ratio of the increase in the Nusselt number to the increase in the coefficient of friction factor in a pulsating flow compared to a stationary flow. The coefficient of friction factor was determined by numerical simulation in AnsysFluent. The results of a numerical study showed that an increase in the product of the pulsation amplitude and the Strouhal number leads to a decrease in the thermal-hydraulic efficiency at all values of the Reynolds number, while the thermal-hydraulic efficiency is higher at the minimum values of the Reynolds number.

Digital twins of railway stations are necessary for planning work and taking the most effective management actions. An important factor is the compliance of the planned time costs with the actual ones. One of the tasks that are difficult to formalize at railway stations is the process of holding the rolling stock. This is due to the fact that the holding time depends on the human factor and the holding rolling stock. To create an automated station controlled by a digital twin, it is necessary to develop an automated holding system. One of the tasks in developing such a system is the problem of device location. This problem can be formulated as follows: it is necessary to place the minimum allowable number of holding devices in the controlled area in such a way that reliable holding is provided for any configuration of the rolling stock. As a tool for solving this problem, the most effective will be the use of methods of genetic algorithms. In this article, the authors consider the relevance of this study and the relevance of automating the holding of rolling stock.

The article considers the use of collapsible road surfaces on temporary roads and develops a method for substantiating the composition of a set of collapsible road surfaces, the use of which will ensure the construction of a section of highway in the most likely conditions, such as entrances to construction sites, as wooden roads and even bridges, approaches to the bridge, detours of main roads during construction. the proposed method of substantiating the composition of a set of collapsible pavement allows you to calculate the composition of the set not only taking into account its weight and size characteristics, but also the conditions of use. The main of these conditions is the uncertainty of the length of the sections of the highway that require the use of the SRDP. In contrast to the existing ones, the proposed method allows to reduce the influence of uncertainty and obtain the composition of the kit, the use of which will ensure the construction of a section of the highway in the most likely conditions.

The article deals with the issue of the reconstruction of the A-2 station in the context of the development of the North–South transport corridor. The relevance of the topic lies in the need to master the growing volumes of transportation from Russia to the countries of Southeast Asia and back in connection with the current reorientation of the main export cargo flow and economic ties of Russia. The analysis of the existing volumes of work of the station is carried out. To develop proposals, an analysis of the volume of work of the station was carried out, according to which there was a decline in production over the previous period. Measures are proposed for the effective development of the expected cargo flow. Statistical modeling methods, queuing systems theory and feasibility studies were used as methods. As a result, the proposals made are aimed at implementing the effective operation of the A-2 station. The reconstruction of the station makes it possible to ensure the development of increased cargo volumes and thereby receive additional income.

The assumptions of mathematical models for calculating the crack resistance of reinforced concrete structures are considered. For each of them, an analysis was carried out to determine whether they correspond to reality throughout the entire life cycle of the structure: from the hardening of the concrete mix to destruction. Based on the results of the analysis, it was proposed to use only one single calculation at the level of standards to assess the crack resistance of structures - according to the crack opening width, acrc. So, for example, at a certain value of acrc, the structure will still remain airtight (the cracks will be non-through), and if this value is exceeded, it will not. At the same time, the calculations already available in the norms for limiting permeability and the safety of reinforcement will still remain in demand. At the junction of the theory of damage accumulation and nonlinear fracture mechanics, a compressed algorithm is proposed for possibly taking into account the influence of cracks at all scale levels of the concrete structure, the key for which is the normalization of the statistical parameters of the distribution of discontinuities by diameters, lengths, openings, depths, directions, distances between discontinuities, etc.

The article presents the results of a study of the use of reinforcement in glued wooden elements of a circular mesh vault. The use of reinforcement in flat wooden structures has proven itself well, but the possibility of using reinforcement in large-span spatial structures still remains little explored. A number of authors presented conflicting data regarding the increase in the bearing capacity and rigidity of reinforced wooden glued elements. In the proposed work, a numerical experiment was performed to compare various options for reinforcing elements of a circular mesh vault. 10 options for external and internal reinforcement of elements with various materials were considered. As a result of the analysis of the stress distribution in the section of the elements, it was revealed that external reinforcement is a more priority method of reinforcement in terms of the stress-strain state of the element. The dependences of the deflection on the height of the section and the area of the reinforcement were determined. The most appropriate solution in terms of material consumption, economic efficiency and corrosion resistance is internal reinforcement with carbon composite reinforcement.

This work is a continuation of a scientific study to determine the effectiveness of composite materials based on carbon fabric in the field of strengthening bending and compressed elements. The article is devoted to the determination of the geometric characteristics of prototypes, the description of the structure of the internal metal frame and the methodology for strengthening reinforced concrete samples. The importance of this scientific work lies in the fact that one of the most popular companies selling composite materials in Russia (“Gidrozo”) proposes to use a new technology for reinforcing reinforced concrete structures that differs from that recommended in the norms. However, according to the manufacturer's specialists, this technique not only ensures reliable adhesion and joint operation of reinforcement materials and structural concrete, but also significantly increases the efficiency of the composite material.

Overview of existing methods for diagnosing faults in synchronous electric motors and methods for their detection. Classification and analysis of existing methods, their applicability in detecting faults, advantages and disadvantages. Three classes of possible faults in synchronous permanent magnet motors are considered and described: electrical faults, mechanical faults, and demagnetization. The article discusses three classes of diagnostic methods: based on the construction of a mathematical model of a real electric motor and modeling its errors, based on processing signals from sensors, and intelligent methods based on processing collected data using artificial intelligence. The following error detection methods based on modeling are considered: detection based on the model of the electrical schematic, based on the analytical model, and based on the digital simulation model. The following frequency-time analysis methods of the obtained signals from the sensors are considered: analysis using fast Fourier transform, short-time Fourier transform, wavelet transform, Hilbert-Huang transform, and Wigner-Ville distribution. The following intelligent diagnostic methods are considered: diagnosis using convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, support vector machines, fuzzy logic, and sparse representation.

The results of studies of two-layer reinforced concrete beams with a layer of various thicknesses of high-modulus concrete of the frame structure in the compressed zone and traditional heavy concrete in the rest of the section are presented. The stress-strain state of normal cross sections along the height of the beam was estimated by the values of relative deformations at the level of stretched and compressed reinforcement using the hypothesis of flat sections and actual compression and calculated tensile deformation diagrams of concrete. The influence of the thickness of a layer of high-modulus concrete on the nature of the stress-strain state between the layers is shown. The possibility of destruction of the beam on the concrete of the compressed zone was revealed due to the abrupt decrease in the actual height of the compressed zone due to the "shooting" of a layer of high-modulus concrete with its thickness less than 0.1 h0. The dependence of the relative actual thickness of the compressed concrete, i.e. the distance from the edge fiber of the compressed concrete to the neutral axis, in the studied beams on the magnitude of the bending moment is obtained. It is established that for single-layer beams, with a difference in the elastic modulus of concrete up to 20%, the dependences of the relative actual thickness of the compressed concrete layer on the bending moment are almost identical. In the studied beams, the limiting state of which is caused by the fluidity of the reinforcement, the thickness of the compressed concrete layer was 0.37 ...0.4 with a relative moment value of 0.5, and 0.33 ...0.36 with a maximum bending moment value.
