The article proposes new compositions of a fast-hardening concrete mixture using Portland cement, fine and coarse aggregates, basalt fiber, a complex modifying additive including acetone-formaldehyde resins and magnesium chloride (bischofite). The results of scientific and experimental studies are presented and the influence of the proposed additives on the formation of the structure, rheological and physico-mechanical properties of fast-hardening concrete is determined. Analysis of the test results showed that the proposed formulations, including a complex additive and basalt fiber, contributed to a decrease in the water-cement ratio, increased mobility of the mixture and increased strength of hardened concrete in the early and final hardening periods.

The cause of failures of building structures is design errors (18 - 51%). For metal structures the most frequent (22 - 44%) reason of failures is the loss of stability of its elements. At the conceptual design stage, it is important to have simple ways of determining design lengths of compressed structural members. A single-span two-storey hinge supported frame is considered. The magnitude of the critical load on the frame depends on the distribution of concentrated forces over the frame nodes. Doing a series of calculations, we find that: the minimum value of critical load is obtained when the force F of the left post of the second floor is loaded; maximum value is obtained by loading the first floor props with the same forces F/2. For practically important cases the parameters determining the critical load differ from one another by no more than 5% . The notion of ro-similar frames as frames with the same ratio of linear rigidity of a transom and a column is introduced. It is shown that the parameter, determining the critical load on the frame, is the same for ro-similar frames. For almost important cases, approximate formulas have been obtained, allowing to determine the critical load parameter and the calculated lengths of compressed rods with an error of not more than 5%.

The paper considers mathematical models obtained on the basis of experimental studies of electrical sheet steel. The models reflect the error in determining the main magnetization curve of electrical steel. The magnetic properties are determined in the center and at the edge of the cut of sheet samples with a size of 150 × 150 mm, made by cutting with guillotine shears and laser cutting. The choice of scale factors for calculating the main magnetization curve with an error of ± 5% according to the measured Weber-ampere characteristic has been substantiated. The study was carried out using a device for express control of the magnetic characteristics of electrical sheet steel. The main curve of magnetization of the sample material from sheet electrical steel was determined in an alternating magnetic field with a frequency of 50 Hz, along the direction of rolling. Investigated samples of isotropic sheet electrical steel grade 2212.

In this work, a survey of the hot water supply system from the boiler house No. 2 of Energoservice LLC was carried out. The daily schedule of hot water released for sanitary needs is given. The existing scheme of the boiler burner on-off control system is considered. A method for stabilizing the hot water preparation process by increasing the burner shut-off settings at the hour of the highest water consumption is found and described, and their values are found experimentally. A scheme has been developed, assembled and tested that allows you to adjust the operating mode of boilers at a strictly specified time of day. The proposed measure allowed us to solve the problem of selling hot water to consumers of a given quality during the maximum water intake period. In addition, the reduction in the generation of thermal energy for heating hot water at night and on weekends allowed for a 13.87% reduction in natural gas consumption in 2020.
