  • Some new technologies and materials for 3D printing

    Three-dimensional printing (3DP) in building industry has a number of important advantages, such as creation of various geometric forms without the need for molds, the ability to create complex elements, the possibility of automation, speed and a low amount of waste, the use of innovative materials, construction in layers of different materials, and more. So, 3DP is an effort to put digital manufacturing into practice, enabling a direct transition from building design / modeling (BIM) to 3DP. One of the important limitations in 3DP is the materials. Because printing is done in layers, it is important to take into account the hardening time of the material and its ability to stick to create a uniform structure. Another problem is the tolerance of the material to different types of solidification: melting, pressing. That's why there are methods for combining iron or polymer reinforcement. There are combined methods: 3D printed elements are used as prefab elements to make the building process more effective. This industry is one of the fastest growing manufacturing technology sectors covers all markets from aerospace and healthcare to construction and consumer products. This article provides some aspects of application in construction, materials and their compositions, as well as examples of the use of 3DP at buildings, structures, etc.

  • Improving the quality of road surface images based on morphological processing techniques

    Road surface quality assessment is one of the most popular tasks around the world. To solve it, there are a large number of systems that work using certain algorithms, including methods of morphological image processing. One of the key criteria for the effectiveness of an algorithm is its time complexity.

  • Statistical modeling of a multi-wall plate from a composite material

    The most significant advantage of composite structures compared to structures made of traditional materials is the ability to control the characteristics of the structure in order to obtain an optimal design. In the general case, the initial physical characteristics of the material of the composite structure are random variables. Consequently, the required quantities (stresses, strains, critical loads, etc.) are also random variables. The problem of statistical modeling of a composite structure is ultimately reduced to the problem of transforming random variables. To solve this problem, the Monte Carlo method is used. The object of study is a multi-walled plate under the action of compressive loads. The purpose of this work is to construct point estimates of the coefficients of both general and local stability for a multi-walled plate, as well as to test statistical hypotheses about the equality of the stability coefficients to their theoretical values. The initial parameters are the elastic moduli in the longitudinal and transverse directions, as well as the shear modulus of the construction material. The following were used as output values: sample mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis coefficients. All calculations were carried out in the environment of the MAXIMA package. It is shown that the distribution of the overall stability coefficient practically does not differ from the normal distribution. The coefficient of local stability has a slight positive asymmetry and a steeper peak compared to the normal curve. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the spread of the elastic characteristics of the material does not significantly affect the coefficients of the general and local stability of the multi-walled plate.

  • Features of acoustic design of small-capacity auditoriums

    Modern cinema demonstration technologies have changed the perception of the auditorium space. Multi-channel digital stereo demonstration, the use of mobile platforms for seating created conditions for the design of small-capacity auditoriums with a round plan shape. Wall enclosing structures in this case have the shape of the inner surface of the cylinder. Finishing with acoustic plates on the frame is time-consuming and does not always allow you to repeat the shape of the fence. The design of acoustic decoration of cinema halls with a round or oval shape of the plan is rationally carried out with the use of acoustic foam "Flexacoustic" on the walls and Soundec ceiling panels (Soundec). The most effective combination, providing uniform sound absorption in frequencies, was obtained by using acoustic foam rubber "Flexacoustic" with a density of 30 kg/m3 and wood panels "Soundek" with a density of 450 kg/m3 with internal filling plates "Acoustic Fiber". The study of the use of domestic materials that are convenient for finishing works and recommendations for the choice of rational use, different in properties of acoustic building systems, allowed us to obtain results that will ensure the best conditions of audibility in the cinema hall.

  • Assumptions of mathematical models of crack resistance of reinforced concrete rod elements

    The assumptions of mathematical models for calculating the crack resistance of reinforced concrete structures are considered. For each of them, an analysis was carried out to determine whether they correspond to reality throughout the entire life cycle of the structure: from the hardening of the concrete mix to destruction. Based on the results of the analysis, it was proposed to use only one single calculation at the level of standards to assess the crack resistance of structures - according to the crack opening width, acrc. So, for example, at a certain value of acrc, the structure will still remain airtight (the cracks will be non-through), and if this value is exceeded, it will not. At the same time, the calculations already available in the norms for limiting permeability and the safety of reinforcement will still remain in demand. At the junction of the theory of damage accumulation and nonlinear fracture mechanics, a compressed algorithm is proposed for possibly taking into account the influence of cracks at all scale levels of the concrete structure, the key for which is the normalization of the statistical parameters of the distribution of discontinuities by diameters, lengths, openings, depths, directions, distances between discontinuities, etc.

  • Numerical studies of the redistribution of forces in statically indeterminate corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete beams

    The study of statically indeterminate reinforced concrete structures at the present stage is possible with the help of software systems capable of taking into account the nonlinear work of the material, which allows us to fully assess the stress-strain state for a different redistribution of emerging forces provoked by corrosion damage to reinforcement and concrete. Numerical studies of 14 models with corrosion damage in the upper section of a two-span beam in the Ansys software package have been performed. Load-deflection graphs are presented depending on the percentage of corrosion damage. The dependences of the redistribution of tensile forces in the beam reinforcement with different percentages of corrosion damage are shown. It is established that with damages up to 10%, there is a sharp increase in the tensile forces in the span reinforcement of the beams. It is determined that with corrosion damage to the beam up to 70%, the forces in the supporting reinforcement increase to 10%.

  • Measuring the Energy Efficiency of Moscow Polyclinic Buildings under Reconstruction

    Currently, the energy efficiency of buildings is one of the most pressing economic and environmental problems. Reducing energy costs not only minimizes building maintenance costs, but also reduces the negative impact on the environment. This article deals with the problem of increasing the energy efficiency of the enclosing structures of polyclinic buildings and proposes a method for measuring the economic efficiency of the proposed enclosing structures of municipal polyclinics in Moscow. The implementation of an energy-efficient project for the reconstruction of polyclinic buildings requires an integrated approach, which includes the selection of optimal materials and structures, a thorough analysis and calculation of energy efficiency by measuring the savings in heat loss after the reconstruction of buildings. The implementation of this approach will reduce heat loss and increase the comfort of staying inside the buildings.

  • Engineering analysis of the calculated characteristics of the bearing capacity of driven and bored piles.

    The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of practical calculations of driven and bored piles, which have similar geometric parameters and common geological conditions of construction sites. Taking into account the peculiarities of the use of these piles and the available experimental data, the paper analyzes the calculated values of their bearing capacity and gives an engineering assessment of the results of the calculation. The quantitative difference between the determined parameters of the bearing capacity of piles - friction along the lateral surface and frontal resistance, is clearly shown in the constructed diagrams. So, when using the standard values of the coefficients to determine the bearing capacity of piles, we have a significant excess of this parameter for driven piles. The need to use more gentle methods of driving piles to the design depth leads to the possibility of using the technology of arranging bored piles, which have a lower bearing capacity with the same parameters as driven piles. This feature should be taken into account in engineering calculations when selecting the optimal dimensions of bored piles.
