  • Cyber physical system for managing a squad of road machines in infrastructure projects of road transport

    Compaction is one of the most important technological processes in in the asphalt (AC) pavement construction. Joint management of asphalt pavers and several rollers, allowing each roller to seal the road layer most efficiently with optimal compaction modes to ensure the required compaction quality, is an unsolved problem. To solve this problem, on the basis of modern achievements of scientific and technological progress, a cyberphysical system is proposed as an organizational and technical concept of information flow management. The structure of the system for monitoring and controlling the compaction of AC mixtures with a set of pavers – road rollers is proposed. The development of a cyberphysical road construction system makes it possible, based on digitalization, to effectively manage several road vehicles on the construction sites of road transport infrastructure projects for joint and adaptive compaction.

  • Improving the method for determining the estimated (marginal) cost of construction

    Currently, the estimated (marginal) cost of construction is calculated using aggregated construction price standards. Since the objects on the basis of which the collections of enlarged construction price standards were formed were calculated using the basic-index method, the standards do not reflect the real cost due to an imbalance between the standards and real prices. To solve this problem, it is proposed to form a database of completed projects that were built using information modeling technologies, and the estimated cost was calculated using the resource method. As it is filled, this database can become the main tool for determining the estimated cost of construction or the basis for updating collections of aggregated construction price standards.

  • Some questions of the technology of concreting massive foundation slabs using self-compacting concrete mixtures

    Numerous factors that determine the quality of monolithic reinforced concrete massive foundations predetermine the relevance of a thorough study of a set of issues related to the intensity of concreting, the technical capabilities of the contractor, temperature and humidity conditions, the characteristics of the technological properties of the concrete mixture and the kinetics of concrete hardening. To ensure the solidity of the structure, the expediency of determining the thickness of the layer to be laid is justified not only by the length of the working part of the vibrator, as prescribed by the standards, but also by the indicators of the intensity of concreting, determined by the design parameters, temperature and humidity conditions and the capabilities of the worker. The influence of the temperature and humidity conditions of the environment and the recipe features of the concrete mixture on the rational time of overlapping layers is shown. The results of modeling the level of tensile stresses on such recipe-technological factors as the class and kinetics of concrete hardening, temperature conditions and conditions of heat exchange with the environment are given on the example of a temperature-shrinkage block 20x20x2 m. the values ​​of its parameters.

  • Evaluation of some methods for calculating thermal stresses during concreting of massive reinforced concrete foundation slabs

    The relevance of modeling the temperature regime and the stress-strain state in the early period of the construction of massive monolithic reinforced concrete structures is shown. Some data are given on the temperature and time parameters of the formation of temperature fields in structures with a surface modulus from less than 1.1 to 2.4 from concrete classes from B25 to B70, both fast and slowly hardening. Based on the results of processing numerous data, the quantitative values ​​of the parameters of the heat release kinetics for the proposed dependence are substantiated. A simplified method for calculating thermal stresses is proposed, based on the proposed and substantiated dependences of concrete properties on its degree of maturity, which are confirmed by numerous experimental data, incl. obtained by other researchers. The calculated values ​​of stresses obtained during the construction of a temperature-shrinkage block 20x20x2 m from concrete of fast and slow hardening classes B25 and B45 were compared with some experimental results and modeling data. The conclusion is made about the inexpediency of using concrete of class B45 due to the high risk of cracking in the period of 1.5 - 3 days. When using concrete of class B25, preference should be given to fast-hardening.

  • On the issue of modeling thermal stresses during concreting of massive reinforced concrete slabs

    The expediency of using modeling using the finite element method to study the influence of certain prescription-technological factors on the resulting temperature fields and temperature stresses during the construction of massive foundation slabs is substantiated. A simplified method for determining thermal stresses based on the reduction of a three-dimensional problem to a one-dimensional one based on the hypothesis of flat sections is considered. The dependence is proposed and the quantitative values ​​of the parameters for calculating the kinetics of heat release of concrete in the temperature-shrinkage block are substantiated. As a result of the implementation of a numerical experiment on the influence of the duration of breaks between overlapping layers, the temperature of the environment and the concrete mixture, the class and kinetics of concrete hardening, and heat transfer parameters, the dependences of the level of tensile stresses on these factors over time were obtained. It is shown that when developing technological regulations for concreting, the determination of technological parameters (the intensity of laying the mixture, the thermal resistance of the formwork, the arrangement of working joints, etc.) is impossible without taking into account the kinetics of concrete hardening, determined by the prescription features of concrete mixtures.
