As a result of changes in regulatory documents on acceptance of residential premises, there is a need to develop illustrative methodological materials that would allow the future owner to independently, i.e. without the involvement of an external qualified specialist, to perform the acceptance of the apartment, pointing out to the representative of the developer involved in the acceptance of significant construction defects. The purpose of the study is to determine the structure of construction defects in residential premises and to identify the most common defects in this structure, which will allow the future owner to independently perform the acceptance of the apartment. In the article, based on the analysis of a significant number of claims from apartment owners to the builder and the results of the authors' research in the scope of forensic examinations and pre-trial construction-technical investigations, the structure of construction defects, which are massively identified in the process of acceptance of apartments, is defined and presented. The groups of defects that are most frequently encountered in practice are presented. To ensure the clarity of practical use of the obtained analytical materials, a list of mass construction defects identified in the process of acceptance of residential premises, indicating their category necessary for making a decision on the mandatory elimination of defects is defined.

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.

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.

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.

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. Based on the results of a review of existing technical solutions, it was concluded that the purchase and replacement of an entire electrolysis plant or a software measuring part is economically unprofitable, and Berezovskaya GRES can implement its own SEU-20 plant management system using modern Russian-made automation software, but its own development will bring significant economic benefits. due to the lower cost compared to foreign counterparts.

The installation of foundations of production facilities on sites subject to karst formation and suffusion processes in conditions of weak soils is a serious problem in the design and construction of large distribution centers. In such a situation, it is necessary to calculate the load-bearing elements of the building for the effect of the lack of reaction of the base under the sole of the foundations on a site with a diameter of 3.0 m, located in the most unfavorable places from the point of view of structural work. Such unfavorable locations of a karst sinkhole can be determined by digitally constructing "influence functions" and obtaining "envelope" diagrams of pressure on the base, foundation sediment, and structural reinforcement. If the maximum allowable precipitation of the foundations obtained by calculation is exceeded, it is possible to strengthen the soils by layer-by-layer recycling, which will allow reaching the normative indicators.

To ensure the safety of capital construction facilities, it is necessary to anticipate and predict risks at the planning and design stage. Risk forecasting is carried out in both quantitative and qualitative measurement. The accuracy of the calculations requires consideration of a large number of different risks, their causes, possible consequences and the likelihood of their occurrence. At this scale of input, traditional ways of calculating construction risks are costly in terms of money and labour, and can be very time-consuming. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies automate the process of risk assessment and calculation. With digital technology, all the factors arising during construction will be taken into account in real time. Despite a number of limitations in the application of this technology, this method is the most promising and increasingly widespread.

This article raises the question of the role of artistic and aesthetic forcing solutions for the reconstruction of commercial enterprises located in the historical center of Rostov-on-Don. The visual component of the anthropogenic environment, especially the urban fabric of the historical center, is one of the most important factors shaping the quality of life in the city. The analysis provided illustrates two different but illustrative situations. The first of which is an intervention in the structure of one building, the second is the reconstruction of a block (insert). As a result of the research, conceptual proposals were formed based on such categories as style, coloristic solution, material, number of floors and based on the analysis.

In the process of developing a plot of the junction field, the theoretical calculation of the load capacity and the permissible load on the piles is carried out, based on which the number of piles and their arrangement are decided. The results of theoretical calculations are in some cases underestimated when compared with actual values, and the application of theoretical calculation may lead to an increase in construction costs. The article examines the change of pile size and position in a swave field after the actual results of the field tests are obtained. The technical-economic comparison was carried out and the conclusion of the effectiveness of the adopted solution for the three designed houses was drawn.

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.

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.

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.
