Currently, one of the main problems of our time is to improve the ecology of the regions. Green areas can contribute to this, however, the southern region of Russia is caused by a dry summer period. In this regard, there is the task of ensuring high-quality irrigation, which is often carried out by automated systems. However, without feedback, it is extremely difficult to bring the process to the proper level of quality. To do this, use humidity sensors, the price of which inevitably leads to a strong appreciation of the system. This article discusses the possibility and feasibility of developing and implementing its own moisture sensor that would meet such positive criteria as low cost, high accuracy and wide range of measurements, high corrosion resistance, versatility of application.

This article discusses the possibility of improving the environmental situation by changing the percentage ratio of metal and fiberglass fittings produced in the direction of increasing the latter. A comparative analysis of the calculation of the slab basement of 300-mm thickness was carried out, in the construction of which reinforcement made of steel (class A-500C) - and fiberglass were used. The results of the study led to the conclusion that, due to the recycling of plastic waste to produce this innovative building material, there is great savings for the manufacturer, and to this is added an improvement in the environmental situation in general, as the amount of industrial waste on the globe decreases without using environmentally friendly methods. destruction.

This article discusses the basic principles of the use of structural membranes in the reconstruction of buildings and structures. Three principles of intervention in the existing architecture are described in detail. The first is to preserve the historical appearance and character of the building. The second is the scale of the new and old parts of the building. The third is the difference and the possibility of reorganizing new designs. The characteristics of the goals, the achievement of which each of these principles is directed, are given. Using the example of several buildings, we analyzed the use of textile membranes to achieve the main goals of reconstruction, described the positive and negative aspects of restoration using textile membranes. These buildings include: a church on a hill in Corbera d'Ebr, Spain (roof restoration), the central courtyard of the Palacio de Mineria, Mexico (creating coverage over a yard area), Salzburg residence, Austria (sliding roof). In conclusion, conclusions were made about the advantages of using membranes for the preservation of historical heritage and possible prospects for the development of fields of application of this design.

In article results of the analysis of method of calculation of flat plates of girderless floors are considered on breakdown according to the Russian and foreign design codes are considered. The analysis of the received results demonstrates that in the considered calculation procedures on breakdown similar settlement models are used and identical power factors are considered. Namely the pressing-through effort and the bending moments operating in two planes. Taking note of the moments in various techniques is carried out in two ways. The first way – tangent tension is entered into settlement model. And each technique offers the form of an epyura of tangent tension. The second way – introduction to a condition of durability of the empirical coefficient considering influence of the bending moments. Approach to purpose of geometrical parameters of a settlement (critical) contour is not identical. Contours of different techniques differ in a form and the sizes. And the difference of the sizes is very considerable. It is established that work of knot of interface of girderless flag with a column is studied yet not fully and additional researches on generalization of calculation procedures are required.
