  • Development of organizational and technological solutions for quality control of structures built using the "White Bath" technology in civil engineering

    The article discusses the theoretical, methodological and applied aspects of the development of organizational and technological solutions for quality control of structures built using the "white bath" technology in civil engineering. The characteristic of this technology as a method of integrated waterproofing based on the use of waterproof concrete and a joint sealing system without the use of external protective coatings is presented.

  • Calculation of boundary values for the thickness of flat reinforced concrete floors based on the punching condition

    The area where the floor is supported by a column is one of the most critical areas in buildings with a load-bearing system made of monolithic reinforced concrete. This is due to the high concentration of forces and, as a consequence, the densest reinforcement within the floor. When designing such structures, the problem of initially setting the thickness of the floor from the conditions of punching arises, without yet having a spatial calculation scheme that allows correctly determining the bending moments in the node working on punching. In the article, conditions are obtained for the necessary and sufficient thickness of floors with and without transverse reinforcement depending on the punching force F in the column.

  • Microstructure of the ash and slag mixture of a thermal power plant reinforced with Portland cement

    The reuse of ash and slag waste from coal combustion is of great economic and environmental importance. The most material-intensive area of their reuse is the stabilization of ash and slag mixtures with Portland cement for the construction of layers of highways. A technical understanding of the processes of structure formation in stabilized ash and slag mixtures makes it possible to regulate the final properties and quality of the layers of road clothing and the roadbed. Strengthening of ash and slag mixtures with Portland cement makes it possible to increase the physical and mechanical properties of ash and slag mixtures: strength, frost resistance, density, etc.

  • Resistance to progressive collapse of reinforced concrete building frame with regard to the sequence of its construction and duration of operation

    The loading history, including duration, stress level, number of cycles and environmental influences, also affects concrete performance by increasing strength while reducing deformability. Under long-term service, concrete can exhibit elastic behaviour until stresses in the order of 70-80% of the expected compressive strength are reached. The plastic and viscous properties of concrete play an important role under dynamic loading, determining its dynamic hardening capacity. Thus, long-term operation significantly alters the dissipative properties of concrete and affects its response under accidental dynamic effects. The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which the deformed state of the frame as a result of the erection sequence, creep and shrinkage strain accumulation influences the collapse resistance in an emergency situation.The process of deformation of reinforced concrete frame of a multi-storey building in an emergency design situation was modelled, taking into account the stage of construction and different age of concrete at the moment of load application. The computational analysis was performed in quasi-static formulation in Scad Office 21.1.9.9 using the ‘Assembly’ module.According to the results of the study, deformations and forces in the elements of the load-bearing system after the initial local collapse in it have been obtained and analysed. It is shown that when taking into account the sequence of building erection, accumulation of creep and shrinkage deformations, the building resistance to progressive collapse decreases.

  • Variation of technical solutions for foundations and reinforcement of the weak base of the distribution center building in karst conditions

    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.

  • Distribution of stresses near underground cylindrical and spherical cavities created by an explosion

    The paper considers the problem of the stress state of a rock array with continuous inhomogeneity. This type of inhomogeneity can be observed in rock arrays with cavities created by explosion. In this case, the dependence was chosen when the main mechanical characteristics depend only on one coordinate - the radius. It was also taken into account that the chosen dependence gives an opportunity to obtain relatively simple methods of solving the problems. The chosen calculation scheme of the problem allows to reduce it to the solution of one-dimensional task. For the case of the centrally symmetric problem we consider the solving equation, which is an ordinary inhomogeneous differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients. Using the substitution of variables, we can proceed to the solution of the hypergeometric equation. Solutions of hypergeometric equations are given in the form of hypergeometric series, which are known to converge. Using inverse substitutions, the stresses are found. The stress state of the rock array at different degrees of its heterogeneity is determined. The results are presented in the form of graphs. Comparison with similar solutions for homogeneous arrays is carried out. The presented results allow us to conclude that when solving problems on the stress state of rock arrays with cavities, it is necessary to take into account the heterogeneity of the arrays obtained in the process of creating such cavities with the help of explosion.

  • 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.

  • Reinforcement during bending of damaged steel beams by prestressed carbon fiber plates using a prestressing system

    During the research, a new prestressing system was developed for carbon fiber reinforced polymer plates to reinforce damaged steel beams. A parametric analysis was performed using finite element modeling. The results showed that satisfactory amplification efficiency can be achieved using the new pre-voltage system. The prestressed carbon fiber significantly increased the performance when bending beams at the elastic and elastic-plastic stages due to the use of high-strength carbon fiber plates. In addition, as the pre-voltage level increased, the amplification efficiency increased. A simple increase in the area or modulus of elasticity of the carbon fiber plate slightly improved the hardening efficiency, while the simultaneous application of prestressing clearly increases the hardening efficiency.

  • Analysis of the influence of design parameters of the unit on the concentration of forces in the support zones of flat reinforced concrete floors at the ends of the walls

    When designing flat reinforced concrete slabs, the most complex and responsible structural unit is the area where the slab is supported by the columns and walls. This is due to the action of large concentrated efforts and the greatest density of reinforcement. In view of this, the issue of choosing calculation methods that most accurately estimate the punching capacity for suchstructural units is relevant. With an increase in the ratio of the dimensions of the sides of the pushing structure, the force ceases to be distributed uniformly along the pushing contour and a concentration of forces occurs near the short side. This article is devoted to the evaluation of the results of finite element modeling and calculations of the bearing capacity for pushing in the area of ​​the end of the pier, analysis of the influence of the floor thickness, the dimensions of the pier and the class of concrete on the concentration of pushing forces in the floor near the end of the pier.
