The results of theoretical research and analysis of methods that will significantly reduce the weight of the gravity oil platform are presented. At the same time, its static, dynamic, and shear stability will remain under the influence of wind, wave, ice load and current load. In order to reduce the weight and overall dimensions, it is proposed to outline the lower part of the platform base with a metal sheet pile wall. As a result of theoretical studies, the dependence of the shear force under the influence of external forces acting on the platform during operation on the physical and mechanical properties of the soil and the size of the sheet pile wall is found, which will significantly reduce the weight of the platform and the cost of its construction.

Arched constructions of the roofs of span-type buildings are very cost-effective in comparison with beam and frame systems. In many cases, the high architectural qualities of arch structures allow one to obtain expressive interiors of large halls. At the same time, the construction of long span buildings is always associated with high risks, high security requirements for such buildings, and, consequently, increased requirements for reliability to load-bearing structures, including possible local destructions. Actual becomes the issue of ensuring the survivability of building structures in general, and the construction of roofs for long span buildings in particular. To analyze the survivability properties of shallow arched coverings, a number of constructive solutions of arched constructions of various types are considered. The work of arch structures of various types with possible local caving of a number of elements is considered.

The problem of digitalization of the data accounting system and the problem of managing the technical condition of equipment at thermal power plants are considered. The performance of the entire thermal power plant depends on the operation of the boiler units. If the equipment fails and the necessary measures to resolve the emergency are not taken in time, then the probability of a decrease in the plant's performance up to the suspension of work increases. Thus, the issue of monitoring the technical condition of all operating equipment is relevant. The developed software for automation of the data recording system and visualization of technical parameters of the reliability of boiler and turbine equipment is described. The software has a methodology for determining the technical condition index of equipment. The software was developed using the JavaScript programming language, the React.js library. Digital technologies have been introduced into the process of recording data on the technical condition of equipment, where for the first time the software includes a method for automatic calculation of the technical condition index of boiler units. The software ensures that equipment downtime is reduced, as well as the likelihood of failure or critical breakdown of boilers. Thus, the operation of the software makes it possible to reduce the likelihood of an emergency state of the main equipment of power plants.

The effective use of high-strength reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures is an important task today. In order to reduce the consumption of materials, especially steel, it is necessary to use high-strength materials more widely in the production of reinforced concrete structures. In recent years, researchers have significantly increased interest in reinforced concrete structures with mixed reinforcement. To determine the effect of the concrete class on the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete columns, a numerical experiment was performed. According to the results of the experiment, it was found that the maximum increase in bearing capacity with all variants of relative eccentricity is observed in racks with previously stretched and non-tensile reinforcement. Thus, the studies showed that the use of columns with mixed reinforcement is advisable. The use of mixed reinforcement in reinforced concrete racks in all cases is more effective than racks with non-tensile reinforcement.

In the view of most people, the criterion "high-rise buildings" is very blurred. Five or seven storey buildings were considered one or two centuries ago to be tall, but now you will not surprise anyone with a number of storeys over fifty. Russian law sets the maximum possible 75-meter height for residential buildings and 50-meter - for public buildings. The construction of higher facilities is subject to special requirements. The article discusses the development of high-rise buildings of a megalopolis using the example of the city of Rostov-on-Don, presenting famous high-rise buildings in Rostov at present. Along with increasing the number of storeys of buildings, their design features are also changing. The types of structural schemes of high-rise buildings, the materials of the supporting structures of high-rise buildings, their advantages and applications are described. The problems that arise in high-rise construction are described.

In the work it is proposed to use the principle of zonal placement of materials in prefabricated-monolithic bending structures with the use of light concrete, as well as combined reinforcement. The upper (monolithic) layer is preferably made of light concrete of low strength, and the lower (prefabricated elements) - of steel fibre concrete based on light concrete of higher strength. Rod and fibre reinforcement are located in prefabricated elements, which under operating loads will be in stretched zone of bent elements.The results of experimental studies of crack resistance and deformation of steel-fibre-fluorophobetone (SFTB) prefabricated monolithic bending elements on the basis of shoe filler of Kamenskoe deposit of Kabardino-Balkan Republic are presented in the work. Based on analysis of obtained data correlation dependence is derived and character and degree of influence of various factors on crack resistance and deformability of assembled monolithic combined reinforced bending elements is revealed. The following conclusions have been drawn: reinforcement of prefabricated elements of flexable monolithic structures made of tuphobetone with rods and fibres allows to significantly increase their crack resistance; Parameters of combined reinforcement of prefabricated elements, assignment of their geometrical dimensions, as well as dimensions of sections of bent prefabricated-monolithic structures from tuphobetone as a whole can be assigned taking into account correlation dependencies for evaluation of crack resistance obtained from the results of these studies.
