  • Inclusive environment in construction: effective approaches and algorithm of adaptation of apartment buildings

    The article examines the analysis of modern approaches to the organization of an inclusive environment in construction. The structure of the previously developed algorithm has been clarified, taking into account the key criteria of accessibility, informativeness, safety and comfort. The calculation of the adaptation of structures and services using the example of a standard apartment building (MCD) confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It has been established that the implementation of the algorithm, taking into account user needs, allows us to talk about optimal solutions for an inclusive urban environment, which is especially important in the context of the development of the "city within a city" concept.

  • Methodology for automated evaluation of fire detector response time based on fire simulation results

    One of the key parameters used to assess the magnitude of the individual fire risk based on the appropriate calculation methodology is the evacuation start time. To calculate it, there is a need for information about the time of reaching the threshold value of the fire detector, which can be determined on the basis of a fire simulation for the room in which the fire is located. At the same time, it is required to dynamically evaluate the size of the area at each point of which at the height of the location of fire detectors there is an excess of the threshold value of the acting parameter, which is a rather complex task, the solution of which requires the use of automation. This paper proposes a method for automated assessment of the time for reaching the threshold value of the fire detector response based on the results of fire modeling when determining the calculated values of the individual fire risk. Functional model and basic algorithm of the proposed technology are presented. The developed methodology was tested using the example of modeling a fire in a commercial building based on the FDS software kernel for various scenarios. The results of a comparative analysis of solving the problems of estimating the time for reaching the threshold value of fire detectors for various criteria based on the proposed technology and manual method are presented.

  • Methods for solving the linear cutting problem with minimization of knives' changes

    In this article, an analysis of the main methods for solving the linear cutting problem (LCP) with the criterion of minimizing the number of knife rearrangements is presented. The linear cutting problem in its general form represents an optimization problem that involves placing given types of material (rolls) in such a way as to minimize waste and/or maximize the use of raw materials, taking into account constraints on the number of knives, the width of the master roll, and the required orders. This article discusses a specific case of the problem with an additional condition for minimizing knives' changes and the following approaches for its solution: the exhaustive search method, which ensures finding a global optimal solution but can be extremely inefficient for problems with a large number of orders, as well as random search based on genetic and evolutionary algorithms that model natural selection processes to find good solutions. Pseudocode is provided for various methods of solving the LCP. A comparison is made in terms of algorithmic complexity, controllability of execution time, and accuracy. The random search based on genetic and evolutionary algorithms proved to be more suited for solving the LCP with the minimization of waste and knife rearrangements.

  • Information support for remote monitoring and control of the main functions of the electrolysis plant

    The article provides an overview of existing technical solutions, considered from the point of view of two approaches: complete replacement of the electrolysis plant with a modern analog; replacement of only the measuring part of the system.

  • Features of calculation and reinforcement of the foundations of the distribution center building in conditions of weak soils

    The cargo turnover of modern distribution centers of network operators reaches hundreds of thousands of tons per year. The technological load on the floors in the warehouse part of the building is 8-10 t/m2 (80-100 kPa), on the floors – up to 2.4 t/m2 (24 kPa). These loads transfer significant pressure through the foundations of the frame to the ground, which, with large sole sizes and mutual influence, increases the lower boundary of the compressible thickness and, as a result, the draft of structures. In the presence of weak soils at the base, precipitation reaches exorbitant values. The situation is aggravated by the high groundwater level, which also increases the sedimentation of foundations. The article presents and analyzes options for solving the problem by strengthening the base by compacting the top layer and cementing it to different depths depending on the pressure and construction of the foundation.

  • Features of modeling composite reinforced concrete structures taking into account the reduced shear modulus

    The article discusses the features of modeling composite reinforced concrete beams from various (B25 and B65) concrete strength classes. The basic principles of the theory of composite rods were applied in the modeling process. The section of the reinforced concrete beam was divided by boundary layers with a reduced shear coefficient. The stresses and the nature of the distribution of deformations over the height of the beam section were evaluated before and after the introduction of a different number of boundary layers. During the extended analysis, options for introducing vertically arranged boundary layers along the length of the beam were considered. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to evaluate the specifics of the operation of bent structures with a different number of boundary layers.

  • Modular construction. Prospects for the development of modular housing construction technology in Russia

    The article is devoted to the development of modular construction in Russia and related problems. Given the ongoing shortage of living space and the need to modernize the housing stock, modular construction is a promising solution for the rapid construction of affordable housing. Despite the advantages such as faster implementation times, high flexibility and adaptability to various needs, and the ability to quickly dismantle and expand buildings, the technology faces serious challenges in Russia. The lack of a unified regulatory framework and certification brings additional difficulties with financing and lack of infrastructure, which significantly limits the mass use of modular structures. These factors slow down the process of integrating modular construction into domestic construction practice. At the same time, international experience and successful examples of the implementation of such projects, such as the Habitat 67 residential complex in Canada and the high-rise building "Naikagin Capsule Tower" in Japan, demonstrate the possibilities of modular construction in various sectors. Russia continues to actively work on the adaptation of modular technologies, which opens up prospects for solving housing problems and the rapid construction of social facilities. In the country modular construction can play an important role in solving housing problems, especially in regions where traditional construction methods are economically impractical. Despite the existing problems, the implementation of this technology continues to evolve, which opens up prospects for future growth and improvement of the construction industry in Russia.

  • Energy efficiency of fire-tube boilers in modern heat supply systems

    The purpose of this work is to study the thermal stress of the furnace of a fire-tube boiler and its effect on the design of the boiler. To study the effect of thermal stress and furnace proportions on the ratio of heating surface areas, the calculated resistance was tested. Calculations of heat-tube boilers of sectional hot-water boilers with different proportions of the furnace at different thermal loads of the same furnace volume are performed. The calculation of each heating surface is carried out by the method of successive approximations, based in this case on the chord method. In the calculation process, the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the heating surface was first set, and then refined by successive approximations. To reduce the overall balance of the boiler, another global approximation is made when the temperature determined at the outlet of the last heating surface is set at the beginning of the calculation – in the heat balance, where it affects the loss with outgoing gases and the efficiency of the boiler. It is determined that the optimal.
