In recent years, municipal solid waste management in developed countries has been based on the principle of recycling and reusing secondary products. The overseas level of sorting and disposal of waste is higher and more detailed, it refers to a higher economic level, cultural level of quality of life, government investment, appropriate policies and the construction of related auxiliary facilities. This article discusses some of the systems and methods for sorting municipal solid waste in order to justify the need to develop a system for object recognition when sorting waste.

More than 42 thousand bridges on highways are operated in Russia. Most of the bridge park was built in the past years. Bridges are getting old, accumulating destruction and defects and gradually cease to meet the requirements for safety, durability and load capacity imposed on them. It is necessary to spend a lot of effort and money on maintaining a stable working condition of all operated bridges. The use of modern surveillance tools will save financial and time resources. Such means of monitoring and collecting information can be unmanned aerial vehicles: various types and designs of quadrocopters and drones. A quadrocopter inspection of one of the city's overpasses showed high efficiency and quality of the information received. Based on the data obtained, it is possible to judge the technical condition of the object. Of course, the particularly dangerous defects identified during the inspection should subsequently be examined by a specialist to make a final decision. The article presents the photographic materials obtained by the modern method of data collection, the advantages of using quadrocopters in the survey of bridges and the technical characteristics of the equipment.

The most common fittings in gas networks are investigated, such as bends with different angles of change in flow direction and equal tees. The dependences of the values of the coefficients of local resistance depending on the gas flow rate, diameter, angle of rotation and material of the product are determined. Recommendations are given for determining the coefficient of local resistance of the studied fittings.

The paper considers the dynamics of drought periods based on meteorological data for a multi-year period. The research area covers the basins of the Sokolovsky reservoir and the Taganrog Bay. In the course of the study, the following tasks were performed: climatograms were constructed, a correlation analysis of the course of the total amount of precipitation and the course of average annual temperatures was performed, the deviation of air temperatures from the climatic norm for the considered areas was revealed. The tendency to increase the dry period in the Rostov region from north to south has been revealed, which may have an adverse effect on the hydrological regime of water bodies.

the presented work is devoted to the study of the temperature state of a fuel element (fuel element) – a cylindrical solid body with an internal heat source of constant power. Using the integral method of heat balance with the introduction of an additional desired function, an approximate analytical solution of the corresponding boundary value problem of thermal conductivity is obtained. The conditions of external heat transfer at the boundary of the studied region were set according to the Newton-Richman law (a boundary condition of the third kind). When obtaining the solution, trigonometric coordinate functions were used. Their use made it possible to reduce the number of terms in the desired solution due to the a priori fulfillment of the boundary condition in the center of the fuel element. It is shown that when using only three terms in the analytical solution (the first approximation), an accuracy sufficient for engineering applications is achieved. The error of the developed method was estimated by comparing the results obtained with a numerical solution based on the finite difference method. The article presents graphs of the temperature distribution at different power values of volumetric fuel element heat sources. The developed method can be used to determine the time of the system's exit to the stationary mode, estimate the maximum fuel element temperature at various values of the dimensionless Bio and Pomerantsev numbers, and determine temperature stresses.

In modern construction, there are a large number of construction production risks that have a negative impact on the construction of buildings and structures. To reduce adverse impacts on the construction process, it is necessary to constantly monitor these risks. The reasons for the risks of construction production and the ways of their solution are presented in the article. The problem of construction production risks is very significant, given the high rate of construction of buildings and structures using new innovative processes and methods. At the same time, any risk can be avoided or minimized by a high-quality, responsible approach to the performance of their work, with the help of regular control, management and monitoring of all construction risks.

The method of compaction of subsident soils by deep explosions is widely used in civil construction of buildings and structures. It is characterized by high efficiency of soil compaction and low financial costs for the production of works. This emphasizes the undoubted advantage of the method in comparison with other analogues.
