  • Structure of construction defects detected in the process of acceptance of apartments

    As a result of changes in regulatory documents on acceptance of residential premises, there is a need to develop illustrative methodological materials that would allow the future owner to independently, i.e. without the involvement of an external qualified specialist, to perform the acceptance of the apartment, pointing out to the representative of the developer involved in the acceptance of significant construction defects. The purpose of the study is to determine the structure of construction defects in residential premises and to identify the most common defects in this structure, which will allow the future owner to independently perform the acceptance of the apartment. In the article, based on the analysis of a significant number of claims from apartment owners to the builder and the results of the authors' research in the scope of forensic examinations and pre-trial construction-technical investigations, the structure of construction defects, which are massively identified in the process of acceptance of apartments, is defined and presented. The groups of defects that are most frequently encountered in practice are presented. To ensure the clarity of practical use of the obtained analytical materials, a list of mass construction defects identified in the process of acceptance of residential premises, indicating their category necessary for making a decision on the mandatory elimination of defects is defined.

  • Technical condition categories and their impact on additional deformations of buildings in the zone of new construction

    The article considers the influence of the technical condition of buildings on their additional deformations in the zone of influence of new construction. As a result of the survey, it was confirmed that the buildings of the historical development of the III category of technical condition were in an unsatisfactory condition. In accordance with this, a numerical calculation was carried out, as a result of which an option for strengthening their foundations with the help of piles made using jet technology was proposed. According to the preliminary numerical calculation, additional deformations of buildings of the III category did not exceed the maximum permissible values. The adopted option of strengthening in this case did not justify itself and the actual deformations of the buildings turned out to be higher than the limit values ​​already at the zero mark. Based on the monitoring data, it was found that the values ​​of additional settlements are constantly growing in the process of erecting buildings of the multifunctional complex. Based on the calculation data, graphs were constructed illustrating the discrepancy between the actual additional deformations and the calculated values ​​depending on the category of the technical condition of the buildings and their location in the zone of influence of the pit. Thus, when determining the zone of influence of new construction in close proximity to historical buildings, it is necessary to take into account their technical condition and operational safety.

  • 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.

  • 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.
