  • The influence of plastic shrinkage on the physical and mechanical properties of concrete during the reconstruction of buildings and structures

    The results of a study of the influence of shrinkage deformations on the basic physical and mechanical properties of concrete are presented depending on various production and technological factors. The research methodology took into account the choice of the period of aging concrete in a dry, hot climate to study the influence of physical processes in concrete on its physical and mechanical properties. The influence of shrinkage deformations on the strength characteristics of concrete was studied. an increase in the intensity of mass transfer processes between concrete and the environment leads to an increase in destructive shrinkage deformations, mainly plastic shrinkage of concrete, which lead to changes in the structure and physical and mechanical properties of mature concrete. The consistency of the concrete mixture also influences the amount of strength reduction. with a greater value of plastic shrinkage of concrete, its compressive and tensile strength in bending decreases. the destructive effect of plastic shrinkage on concrete caused depends on a number of technological factors (consistency of the concrete mixture, w/c, temperature and humidity hardening conditions, etc.).

  • Analysis of the objectivity of the use of BIM technologies in construction

    This article analyzes trends and examples of the use of digital technology in order to increase the efficiency and improve the quality of construction projects. BIM technologies already at the design stage make it possible to provide as much as possible all the signs that affect the construction object at the beginning of construction and its further operation. The number of these signs increases, due to the fact that the complexity of the construction process of construction objects increases, as the scale of construction increases, the volume of construction products and building materials increases. In this connection, the requirements for the general designer, contractor, customer, etc. are increasing. At the same time, the customer expects to find, in addition to the project, a solution to reduce costs and increase the functionality of the construction object with the highest parameters. The need for high-performance special technologies and methods of organizing the management of construction works is becoming more acute. BIM technologies are the physical and functional characteristics of a construction object presented in digital form. Digital technologies are an integrated special resource of competencies in order to obtain information about a construction object. It provides the basis for the possibility to accept special decisions of a construction object from construction to the moment of its demolition. This model provides an opportunity to delegate a virtual digital model from the creators of the project to the subcontractor, general contractor, owner, as well as the manager of the construction object. The technical tasks of using information modeling technologies are the starting point for planning an investment project both from the customer's position, since they define the scope of using a BIM model at all phases of the operation of a construction object according to the criteria for evaluating information, and from the position of the contractor, since it acts as the basis for generating a plan when a BIM project will be implemented. The list of characteristic technical tasks of BIM modeling application at different stages of the construction object life cycle is determined. The BIM project algorithm is proposed.

  • Reconstruction of medical institutions: organizational features of the construction industry, reflected in the research of scientists

    Performance of construction and installation works in the conditions of existing health care facilities requires participants of the construction industry to take into account technical equipment of facilities, their specifics, influence of various factors and external conditions on the organisation of construction production, architectural and design solutions of facilities, preservatThe performance of construction and installation works in the conditions of existing healthcare institutions requires from the participants of construction production to take into account the technical equipment of facilities, their specifics, the impact on the organisation of construction production of various factors and external conditions, architectural and planning solutions of facilities, preservation of the functionality of medical institutions and the possibility of their current operation. This article raises the question of searching for new or existing techniques in organisational and technological design, which help to increase the validity of organisational and technological solutions. The practice of reconstruction of medical institutions in modern construction production does not take into account enough factors influencing the development of architectural and planning solutions. However, it is these factors that are determined at the stage of formation of medical and technological task. Such insufficient attention to the factors can significantly affect the organisation of the construction process. The article considers the experience and peculiarities of the organisation of construction production in the reconstruction of healthcare facilities, reflected in the works of domestic and foreign scientists and researchers.

  • The use of slag-alkali binders in the technology of drilling piles

    The article discusses proposals for improving the use of discharge-pulse technology in the construction of boron-injection piles and camouflage widenings of bored piles with diameters of more than 300 mm. The application of voltages on the electrode system of a pulse current generator from 10 to 50 kV and an electric capacity of about 300 UF is considered. It has been found that in the case of using a relatively low voltage on the electrodes and an increase in the electrical capacity of the capacitor bank, the duration of the shock wave pressure on the ground increases several times. This contributes to a more intensive penetration of the liquid hardening material into the intergranular space of the near-well soil massif. It is proposed to use solutions using slag-alkali binders as a hardening material in the formation of boron-injection piles. Such solutions have greater fluidity compared to cement solutions and, when hardened, form a stone with greater strength and density. The article presents data from experimental studies confirming the increased strength (R = 130 MPa) and frost resistance of a solution prepared on slag-alkali binders, as well as data on determining their corrosion resistance to various aggressive media contained in groundwater. The possibility of stable breakdown of the interelectrode gap in aqueous solutions of slag-alkali media of various consistencies has been established, optimal energy parameters of the discharge have been determined for maximum effect of fixing the soils of the foundations.

  • Increasing the efficiency of organizational and technological support for the capital repair system at the present stage

    One of the tasks of the state is to create decent living conditions for the population, including providing people with high-quality and comfortable housing. However, over time, housing wears out, becomes outdated, and becomes unsuitable for use. In order to slow down and prevent rapid deterioration of capital construction projects, capital repair measures are being implemented. They are aimed at restoring and replacing structural elements of residential buildings that have fallen into disrepair. Overhaul of housing is a complex of organizational, technological and economic measures aimed at reducing and eliminating the physical deterioration of buildings. Thus, the creation of decent living conditions for the population and the safety of the housing stock, as well as increasing its energy efficiency, depend on the effectiveness of the organization of the capital repair system and its organizational and technological support.

  • Forecasting the risk of destruction of building structures

    The article is devoted to the assessment of signs that can lead to the destruction of building structures that undergo physical wear over time. The destruction of the elements can lead to adverse consequences. A mathematical basis is used to diagnose structural failure. With its help, it is possible to determine the influence of signs contributing to the destruction of the structure on the degree of destruction. This article discusses the main provisions of the general kinetic theory, as well as methods of its application in order to determine the emergency condition of structures. The technical condition of the structures is considered from the standpoint of the determinational theory. The concept is based on the principle of reliability of the structure before the first failure. The object's trouble-free operation model embodies the science of the speeds of processes in the field of structuring and decomposition of complex system structures throughout the life cycle and shows the adaptive response of structures to factors that shorten the service life of the object. This concept makes it possible to more accurately assess the risks of structural failure from the effects of certain adverse factors.

  • Organizational and technological solutions for eliminating cracks in reinforced concrete foundation slabs

    In order to negate the loss of strength, that can lead to collapse of constructions, we should take measures to prevent cracking. Every crack emersion in reinforced concrete indicates that the accumulated stress has been released in this area of the structure. The cause of cracks are internal tensile stresses that can occur due to internal processes in the element and from external loads on the structure. It is possible to eliminate cracks that have already appeared with the help of repair compounds that fill the volume of cracks in various ways. Injection, as one of the solutions, will help to maintain the strength and durability of the structure.
