Engineering preparation of the territory for the construction and development of a residential complex is a difficult task. In the development area, fluctuations in the groundwater level are possible due to natural processes - flooding of the territory or during operation due to man-made processes. The work presents the results of the survey and assesses the impact of future construction on the hydrological situation of the built-up areas. Materials from engineering-geological surveys of the composition of soils in the lake water area and the building area were studied in order to determine the possibility of using alluvial soil from the lake for engineering preparation of the territory.

Reinforced concrete flat slabs continue to be one of the most popular floor systems due to the speed of construction and their inherent flexibility in the layout of the premises. However, flat, non-rigid floors are subject to brittle fracture at the junction of the slab and column, which can spread and lead to the progressive collapse of a larger segment of the structural system. The lack of shear strength in two directions may be due to design errors, insufficient strength of the material, or overload.

As of today, in Vietnam, to ensure stability and improve the quality of asphalt concrete, the main focus is on the application of new technologies, materials, or the improvement of design methods. However, despite significant achievements in this area, the issue of automating the processes of asphalt concrete mixture production management remains insufficiently researched and implemented. Based on the experience accumulated in Russia, the authors propose developing a system of adaptive control for the asphalt concrete mixture recipe, which contributes to the stabilization and improvement of production quality. In the article, the authors present the structure of the control system and its algorithms, as well as describe the results of modeling and evaluating the effectiveness of this system. The study shows that the adaptive control system for the asphalt concrete mixture recipe, developed based on the experience from Russia, successfully demonstrates its effectiveness in the conditions of Vietnam.

Concrete paving slabs for road construction are made from mixtures consisting of hydraulic binder, fine and coarse aggregates and water. The prepared mixture of a given humidity is subjected to vibration molding under the following technological conditions: process duration 5–10 seconds, vibration frequency 30–50 Hz and pressure 70–80 kg/cm2. Hardening of freshly molded samples is carried out in a heat and humidity treatment chamber. It has been established that it is possible to replace natural coarse aggregate with fractionated scrap concrete. The compressive strength of concrete with aggregate based on recycled crushed stone is 300 - 400 kg/cm2, water absorption 4.8 - 6.2%, frost resistance F2 200 - 300. The proposed technology allows solving both economic and environmental issues for regions with large amounts of concrete scrap at temporary industrial waste storage sites.

The presence of a large number of undeveloped areas within the city - now inactive enterprises - creates a negative impact on the urban environment. Since these territories are depressed spaces, the design of new residential areas with characteristic high-rise buildings seems to be a logical path for the development of the city. However, uncontrolled urbanization and dense multi-storey buildings represent a fundamental change in the human environment. The consequences of this approach lead to a deterioration in the air exchange of areas and contributes to the formation of “heat islands” that affect air pollution. This contributes to the deterioration of the environmental and social situation and the emergence of a negative perception of the environment among the population. The worsening of this problem may cause a deterioration in the social climate in large cities. The article analyzes the impact of dense high-rise buildings on the environment located on the territory of non-operating enterprises. Methods for solving this problem are indicated. The results of field observations and studies of the interhouse space are presented, on the basis of which the role of convective flows of thermal origin in the air exchange of urban space is revealed. A comparative analysis of projects for the development of the territory of a former house-building plant with complexes for various functional purposes is presented.

This article presents a new developed calculation methodology, which includes provisions for standard calculations and takes into account the peculiarities of the operation of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete structures operating at large eccentricities of load application. Adjustments have been made to the calculation methodology to take into account the following factors: the standard methodology uses the maximum tensile strength of reinforcement; proposals have been developed to determine the actual resistance of tensile reinforcement, which, in fact, will be significantly lower than the limit. Proposals are given that take into account the limiting deformations of concrete, which, in turn, will be a key quantity for determining the resistance of tensile reinforcement in the cross section. The article also presents the results of experimental studies of a flexible reinforced concrete pillar operating with a load eccentricity equal to e0 = 0.32h. Theoretical calculations and experimental studies were analyzed and appropriate conclusions were drawn.A formula has been developed to determine the real resistance of the stretched metal reinforcement at the time preceding destruction. The calculation algorithm has been compiled. When comparing theoretical and experimental strength, the difference did not exceed 5%.

The structural integrity of many reinforced concrete structures can be broken due to corrosion of reinforcing steel. This phenomenon is quite pronounced in infrastructure where de-icing chemicals are widely used. The aim of this study is to examine the bond characteristics between reinforcing steel and surrounding concrete to evaluate its effect in corrosion. The strength of the bond was studied in terms of elongation load response, cracking behavior.It is shown that the friction between concrete and reinforcement along the edge of the rib prevents the concrete key from sliding relative to the rib. The force due to friction between the reinforcement and concrete at the rib is vectorially added to the cohesion component acting perpendicular to the rib. If friction between the concrete and reinforcement is lost, the only component of bond strength is the force acting perpendicular to the rib. In pullout failure, the friction between concrete and reinforcement is less important than in spalling failure.

One of the main causes of structural failure is fatigue, which is caused by failure under repeated cyclic load. The vibration strength of welded joints depends on the height of the weld catheter, equivalent Mises stresses and general movements of frame assemblies of building metal structures experiencing multi-cycle loading reliability of frame assemblies when they are reinforced.

Increasing the energy efficiency of the construction process involves the use of materials with the lowest material intensity, including thickness, as well as with a reduced content of Portland cement clinker while maintaining or improving the technical characteristics of the products. In this regard, the use of textile concrete products, including concrete sheets, is promising. The development of a composite binder containing components that reduce nega-tive pressure in hardening concrete, and consequently shrinkage deformations and cracking, made it possible to obtain products with the following waterproofness indicators: determined by the ""wet spot"" method: 1.2 MPa; with a filtration coefficient of 5-7×10-11 cm / s; the concrete waterproof grade W12

The article provides an overview of the characteristic defects that occur during winter concreting as a result of violations of the technology of concrete work. The relevance of this topic is justified by the large-scale increase in the volume of construction of monolithic buildings for various purposes: residential, public, as well as various types of structures made of monolithic reinforced concrete. A feature of the review of these defects is in this case their main causes, which are associated with violations of concreting technology due to the need in some cases to accelerate production work. The defects presented in this article were identified based on the analysis of accounting documentation when performing visual surveys in the process of scientific and technical support for the construction of buildings of increased responsibility. The violations described in the article were observed at various monolithic construction sites within modern megacities. The article describes the main causes of these defects. The ways of eliminating these defects based on engineering practice are proposed.

In most countries of the world, the construction industry is one of the main sources of air pollution in urban areas and agglomerations. One of the most dangerous pollutants are fine dust particles PM2.5 and PM10, formed from the production of dusty construction processes. Due to the optimal location of administrative facilities on the construction site, it is possible to reduce the concentration of dust emissions of particles PM2.5 and PM10. In addition, the cost of the dust control method is of concern to contractors, as it leads to an increase in the cost of construction. Therefore, reducing overall transportation costs is another optimization goal. To solve several tasks at once, the study uses multi-purpose optimization using the particle swarm method (MRF) algorithm to find an optimized construction site layout that can simultaneously reduce both the level of pollution from dust emissions and transportation costs.

We have considered the improvement of analytical formulas for the determination of bending moments in a single-span beam with semi-rigid nodes. We have obtained analytical relationships for deflections, angles of rotation, bending moments and shear forces in a single-span beam with semi-rigid nodes. A convenient coefficient from 0 to 1 is used to specify the intermediate stiffness node. The coefficient characterizes the fraction of possible rotation of the support node. When we derived the formulas, we used the assumption of constant bending stiffness of the beam along its length and linear deformation of the beam material under load. We did not consider the cases of loading the beam with concentrated forces and concentrated bending moments in the span. We realize the complexity and necessity of calculating beams with semi-rigid nodes, so we have created a table for easy calculation. In the table you will find the values of the supporting moments depending on the degree of possible angle rotation. With the information about the bearing moments, you can load the hinged beam with them and construct a bending moment diagram. The upper left and lower left values from the table are used to determine the bending moments at the supports. The upper right and lower right values of the table are used to determine the bending moments in the beam span.

Ensuring the reliability and safety of load-bearing structures, buildings and structures is the most important task. The reliability or safety of a structural system is inextricably linked with the elements of this system that provide strength and spatial stability. The importance of each load-bearing element in the building system in ensuring overall mechanical safety is assessed differently. For multi-storey frame buildings, load-bearing elements, for example, columns of the lower floors, if they fail, can lead to a significantly greater volume of destruction compared to the structures of the upper floors. The article provides a methodology for determining criteria by which the level of responsibility of columns can be established depending on their location in the building plan, developed on the basis of numerical studies. As a result, a classification was compiled according to the level of responsibility of the columns of a monolithic multi-story frame building.

The article discusses the key problems of resource and damageability of crane beams over a long period of operation. A classification of the most dangerous defects in crane beams is proposed, taking into account not only the location of the defect, but also the mechanism of its development, as well as possible causes of its occurrence. The focus is on the effect of periodic loading on the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks. The article analyzes international research in order to identify methods and methodologies used to ensure the safety and reliable operation of the objects under study. It is shown that special attention should be paid to periodic examination for the purpose of early detection of cracks of various etiologies and timely adoption of the necessary measures. It has been revealed that the most effective approach to ensuring reliable and safe operation of the object under study throughout its life cycle is the collaboration of modern calculation methods, including fracture mechanics, and experimental techniques during periodic inspections, which will allow the crane beam zones to be ranked according to the likelihood of a defect occurring and reduce risk of sudden brittle failure.
