The article presents the results of comparing numerical modeling of wooden structures with laboratory and full-scale tests. In the course of the work, numerical models of the material were created in the Ansys Workbench software package from volumetric finite elements with a variant set of physico-mechanical parameters simulating the behavior of real wood. The simulation parameters were based on the laboratory testing results of a solid wood beam. The simulation results were compared with the full-scale test results of a composite wood slab. Modeling of constructions was carried out in the form of linear, bilinear and multilinear models.

The article is devoted to the study of the influence of the choice of the calculation scheme on the accuracy of the engineering assessment of the behavior of monolithic reinforced concrete frame structures. Various types of models are considered: rod, plate and volumetric, taking into account both linear and physical nonlinearity. It is emphasized that the adequacy of accounting for the spatial interaction of elements, the reliability of the assessment of forces and stresses, as well as the possibility of optimizing design solutions, especially under seismic and wind loads, depend on the correctness of the adopted calculation scheme.
As part of the study, a single-span reinforced concrete frame was modeled, the load on which varied from 5 to 55 kN. A comparison of the calculated results with experimental data was carried out. It is shown that models that take into account physical nonlinearity and use more detailed modeling (for example, volumetric finite elements) provide the greatest accuracy in predicting deflections and stresses in the structure.
The obtained results confirm the necessity of a careful approach to the choice of the calculation scheme in design, especially in the design of high-rise buildings and structures in seismically dangerous areas. Recommendations are made on the rational use of models of different levels of detail in engineering practice.

Introduction: Mobile Gaming Addiction (MGA) has emerged as a significant public health concern, with the World Health Organization recognizing it as a gaming disorder. Russia, with its growing mobile gaming market, is no exception. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to explore the feasibility of using neural networks for early MGA detection and intervention, with a focus on the Russian context. The primary objective is to develop and evaluate a neural network-based model for identifying behavioral patterns associated with MGA. Methods: A proof of concept study was conducted, employing a simplified neural network architecture and a dataset of 101 observations. The model's performance was evaluated using standard metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and AUC-ROC score. Results: The study demonstrated the potential of neural networks in detecting MGA, achieving an F1-score of 0.75. However, the relatively low AUC-ROC score (0.58) highlights the need for addressing dataset limitations. Conclusion: This study contributes to the growing body of literature on MGA, emphasizing the importance of considering regional nuances and addressing dataset limitations. The findings suggest promising avenues for future research, including dataset expansion, advanced neural architectures, and region-specific mobile applications.

A system of expert-analytical methods for decision support at the design stage of multi-apartment residential buildings has been developed. The objective of the study is to economically evaluate the developed methods at the design stage of construction projects. Fuzzy logic is used as a mathematical basis for intelligent automated decision support systems. The method for assessing the investment attractiveness of residential complexes provides decision support based on the average area of ​​an apartment and the number of apartments per floor. The method for assessing the attractiveness of building a multi-storey residential building takes into account the class of housing, the height and area of ​​the building. An economic justification for the use of expert systems is provided and it is shown that calculating the construction attractiveness coefficient allows increasing the profit of a construction organization within 30% due to the use of empirical knowledge and specialized engineering solutions.

This article discusses the problem of determining the dynamicity coefficients in case of local damage to the truss in the steel frame of an industrial building. The analysis of the resistance of steel frames to local damage is an important area in the design of industrial buildings, especially those that belong to the category of increased responsibility. Damage to individual elements of the load-bearing system can cause a redistribution of forces and lead to a progressive collapse.

The article is devoted to the assessment of atmospheric air pollution in Rostov-on-Don for the period from 2019 to 2023. The assessment was carried out using a comprehensive indicator of atmospheric pollution for 5 pollutants (suspended solids, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide). The main materials for the work were data obtained from the Environmental Bulletin of the Don and Yearbooks on the state of the atmosphere in cities in Russia. The dynamics of the city's atmospheric pollution over the specified period has been determined, as well as the territorial features of pollution and possible factors contributing to the current situation (the number of green spaces, the presence of enterprises, traffic flows). It has been established that the highest rates of atmospheric pollution are typical for the central part of the city, the most favorable environmental situation is in the east, and the western and northern parts are characterized by average pollution rates. A tendency of increasing atmospheric pollution has been established for the northern, central and western parts of the city, while the eastern part of the city is characterized by a gradual decrease in the content of pollutants in the atmosphere. The result of the work was the compilation of a map-scheme of atmospheric pollution in various parts of Rostov-on-Don.The main factors that determined the current environmental situation include: the volume of traffic load, the proximity of industrial zones and the level of landscaping of the territory.

In territorial planning, the choice of industrial territories is crucial for the state. The advantageous location will allow for the creation of labor application points to ensure stable economic growth. Understanding and taking into account the parameters of the formation and further functioning of such territories always require an integrated approach, that is, taking into account both economic and social, spatial and environmental factors. When planning, the accessibility of transport infrastructure, the availability of raw materials, tax incentives and other economic incentives can be key when choosing a particular area for the location of industrial facilities on it. An integrated approach can become especially relevant not only when planning new undeveloped territories, but also when converting existing large production areas.
