High-rise buildings with CLT (cross-laminated timber) load bearing structures are being more actively developed in many countries. CLT-panels are lightweight, ecological and easy to assemble. In the article types of strengthening of three-layers and five-layers CLT-panels with carbon, basalt and flax fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are considered. They can be used for panels under exploitation to reduce influence of defects and increase load bearing capacity and stiffness or in the production stage to reduce thickness and weigth of constructions. Known works of international authors are analyzed. Bending behaviour of externally reinforced CLT-panels is described. Areas that deserve further investigation are determined. They include investigation of different composite materials and wood types used for CLT-panels' production.

The Russian Federation is a multi-religious state, which has recently seen an increase in the construction of various religious buildings. At the same time, the bulk of the churches being built are small buildings, located, as a rule, in villages and small towns and designed for simultaneous visits by up to 120-150 parishioners. Various materials are used for their construction, including wood. Usually these are log or block buildings, but it is also possible to use other wooden housing construction systems, including light frame ones. The theoretically possible remoteness of towns and villages from large district and regional centers, the impossibility of delivering large-sized beams and logs, the lack of their own production base and other factors lead to the need to use ordinary boards in wooden frame structures. As an example, we consider the construction of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in one of the farms in the Rostov region, the load-bearing structures of which are made using light-frame house-building technology. The presence of open space in the central part of the Temple and the placement of an octagon-shaped superstructure above it required the use of a supporting structure made of steel I-beams. Thus, the structure of the Temple frame is a metal-wood system. The article shows that the combined use of steel and wood in light-frame buildings ensures a rational organization of the space of religious buildings.

The influence of blast furnace ground granulated slag on the kinetics of strength gain of concrete prepared with a composite binder was revealed. The composite binder contained Portland cement in amounts of 70, 60 and 50%, and the rest was ground granulated slag. It has been established that at the early stage of strength development, concretes made with a composite binder have a strength lower than concrete prepared with Portland cement by 10-24%. However, at the age of 28 days, the strength of concrete using a composite binder corresponds to the strength of concrete using Portland cement. Using polycorboxylate hyperplasticizers, it was possible to obtain concrete with a W/C ratio of 0.25-0.35, which made it possible to obtain high early strength exceeding control compositions by 10-20%.

The world's reserves of renewable energy sources are steadily declining, but the comfort of life in modern society should remain at the same level. The modern solution of the problems of thermal protection of facade systems of buildings is associated with the analysis of the specific heat capacity of the materials included in their composition. The use of new energy-efficient materials is becoming especially relevant. Such materials include vacuum thermal insulation panels, which significantly reduce heat loss in comparison with traditional thermal insulation.

The article presents the results of a survey of two industrial buildings, conclusions about their emergency technical condition and the inexpediency of restoration. Modern methods of demolition and dismantling of buildings in the cramped conditions of the existing urban development are analyzed. The main technologies of recycling dismantling and disposal of construction waste generated during the dismantling of buildings are considered: "smart demolition" and the technology of piecemeal disassembly of buildings with the reuse of materials, products and structures. Comparing the two methods of recycling dismantling for application to the objects under consideration, it is concluded that the first method of "smart demolition" implies the destruction of all building structures, while the second is more rational in terms of resource conservation and economic efficiency by reuse of serviceable structures. The technology of piecemeal disassembly of buildings with the reuse of structures requires the development of regulatory, organizational and marketing measures.

The paper considers the problem of the arrangement of the abutments of newly erected driveways and roads of agricultural production enterprises to existing roads and driveways. When connecting the "pies" of the roadways of the projected driveways with the existing landscaping, it is necessary to solve the problem of preventing cracking in the coating at the places of the thickness difference of the structural layers. In the article, this problem is solved both from the technical side, by ensuring the joint work of the new and existing road structure, and from the normative one by assigning the projected passage to the IVB category road, in accordance with SP 37.13330.2012, which allows the construction of a road with curbs without curbs and, as a consequence, without storm sewers and sewage treatment plants.

Economic development directly depends on the creation of a network of roads of the highest category. Major road construction requires large capital investments and less funds are allocated for the operation of existing roads and infrastructure. Instead of replacing bridge structures, it is necessary to use their reconstruction. The article discusses the problem of reconstruction of bridge structures, namely the restoration of carrying capacity, which has decreased during many years of operation. The relevance of the study, its goals and objectives are noted. A classification of reinforcement structures according to various criteria is proposed. The types of bridge reinforcements often used in practice, their advantages and disadvantages, are analyzed. The presented material is illustrated with photographs of objects. Successful reconstruction directly depends on the qualifications of designers and contractors, since with insufficient reinforcement, the span continues to work and is overloaded and gradually collapses. A modern method of reinforcement based on the use of carbon composite is presented. Significant disadvantages of this method for strengthening bridges and its modification using a tensioning device to secure and tension the carbon lamellas have been noted. The use of a tensioning device allows the superstructure to be partially unloaded from permanent and temporary loads. The main conclusions are presented.

One of the actual problems in the field of analysing loads and impacts on bearing structures is their identification. It means the point of application, the type of action and its intensity in cases where there is an impact result, but the parameters that caused this result are not determined. For example, it is an accident action, as a result of which the structure is deformed and collapsed. The solution of such problems arises when analysing accidents on load-bearing structures in construction, as well as when monitoring the deformed state of structures in time. The paper proposes to use the principles of neural network modelling to solve the problem of identifying the impact in the form of a concentrated force on the example of beam systems. The values of linear and angular nodal displacements at some action are considered as input data to neurons. As an example, the linearly deformable beam of constant stiffness is considered, the material of which is a continuous isotropic medium.

he article considers a plane problem of calculating the interaction of a culvert of different outlines with a soil embarckment, taking into account the constructive nonlinearity. Due to the impossibility of the soil to work in tension, the interaction of the pipe and soil is assumed to be uniulateral. In the problem, the outline of the pipe is changed, other parameters being equal. As the results of the calculation, the area of contact / separation and adhesion / slippage of the pipe with the soil is considered. Based on the results of calculations, recommendations are given for choosing the outline of culverts.

On the example of the beams, the dynamics of systems with unilateral constraints are considered. The algorithm for calculating such systems as a combination of the step method of Newmark and the Lemke algorithm that determines the work scheme of the beam in each time step is proposed. Model tasks are considered with a harmonic exciting force, suddenly applied force, impulse exposure. The numerical convergence of the solution was investigated during the thickening of the temporary grid. It is shown that the accuracy of the solution significantly depends on the determination of the moment of changing the working schemes, since the error of the solution increases with an increase in the events “inclusion/off” of unilateral constraints.

The article discusses the possibility of using the ANSYS WORKBENCH software package to calculate the uneven settlement of building foundations. The heterogeneity of the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, the difference in the thickness of the bearing layer and other factors lead to uneven development of settlement. This causes the appearance of cracks in the supporting structures, and in the worst case, the destruction of part of the building or the building as a whole. Methods for calculating settlements are very complex, but using the capabilities of modern computers and computer simulation programs makes it possible to obtain a simple and accurate solution to such problems. To evaluate the deformations of the foundation on heterogeneous soils the ANSYS software package was be used. The proposed method can be used to quantify the uneven settlement of the foundations of real buildings and structures.

Steel roof trusses are the main type of load-bearing structures used in the roofing of industrial buildings. Among them, trusses of the “Molodechno” type have become widespread, in which closed bent-welded profiles of square and rectangular cross sections are used as rods. The use of this type of rolled product makes it possible to create structures without gussets and connecting strips, with a maximum degree of process automation, which significantly reduces labor intensity and reduces the cost of their production. Another feature of the coatings under consideration is their non-running solution. The trusses are located in 4m increments, supported by rafter structures. However, in such a situation, the loads on the truss and the forces in the elements are small, and therefore, and also taking into account the limited range of bent-welded profiles, understressing of the truss elements and excessive consumption of metal are likely. Three variants of coatings with different pitches of trusses were considered, and the metal consumption per square meter of coating was determined. It has been proven that with increasing pitch of trusses, the metal consumption of coatings decreases.

The safety of hazardous production facilities is directly related to the reliable operation of pipeline systems, as a failure occurring in the elements of such systems can lead to serious consequences for production facilities and the environment. Since the greatest number of failures is associated with faults caused by corrosion, to increase reliability it is necessary to increase the corrosion resistance of metal of pipeline elements. The article gives an overview of materials for manufacturing parts, the influence of different climatic conditions on the mechanical properties of steels. The developed rotary gate designed for automatic prevention of reverse flow of working medium is also presented. To confirm the serviceability of the design, strength calculation of the structure was carried out, where its stress-strain state under the given loading conditions is considered. As a result, the values of maximum equivalent stresses, maximum deformations and displacements were obtained, which are lower than the maximum permissible ones.

A new building structure is proposed - a welded steel I-beam with a prestressed perforated wall. The prestress in the beam is created by stretching the web and subsequent welding with chords. Before prestressing, holes are cut in the wall. Using the LIRA-SAPR software package, a model is proposed that can be used to study the operation of a prestressed perforated beam (PNPB) structure. The influence of various forms of voids in the wall on the change in the stress-strain state of steel I-beams prestressed by the wall drawing is studied. A preliminary assessment was made of the favorable effect of prestressing in a conventional perforated beam on the stress-strain state of beams with different forms of perforations in the web.
