As part of the work on the PhD thesis on the creation of new systems and calculation devices for the design of reinforced concrete tanks for the storage of liquefied natural gas, work was done to determine the properties of concrete mixtures used in the construction of tanks in Vietnam, namely in the Hanoi area. A feature of the materials used for the manufacture of concrete is the use of local rocks, which have distinctive properties, which affects the strength and deformation properties of concrete. The article presents the results of experimental studies of the properties of concretes made with Vietnamese materials. A relationship was established between the modulus of elasticity of concrete and its prismatic compressive strength. As part of the study, 16 formulas of concrete mixtures on different materials from Vietnam were compiled and studied. As a result of the conducted research, the dependence of the modulus of elasticity and the intended strength of concrete was revealed, which will later be used in the creation of calculation devices for the design of reinforced concrete structures.

The results of a study of the influence of shrinkage deformations on the basic physical and mechanical properties of concrete are presented depending on various production and technological factors. The research methodology took into account the choice of the period of aging concrete in a dry, hot climate to study the influence of physical processes in concrete on its physical and mechanical properties. The influence of shrinkage deformations on the strength characteristics of concrete was studied. an increase in the intensity of mass transfer processes between concrete and the environment leads to an increase in destructive shrinkage deformations, mainly plastic shrinkage of concrete, which lead to changes in the structure and physical and mechanical properties of mature concrete. The consistency of the concrete mixture also influences the amount of strength reduction. with a greater value of plastic shrinkage of concrete, its compressive and tensile strength in bending decreases. the destructive effect of plastic shrinkage on concrete caused depends on a number of technological factors (consistency of the concrete mixture, w/c, temperature and humidity hardening conditions, etc.).

The article examines the application of properties of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyacrylic acid (PAK) polycomplex composition for soil strengthening. During the studies, the ratio of PEI and PAA (by dry weight) was established, at which the reagents most fully enter the complexation reaction. The polycomplex composition of the optimal composition was used to strengthen the soils of some varieties. When studying the properties of hardened soils, dependencies were obtained: the ultimate strength of the hardened soil on the relative humidity and the thickness of the layer of hardened soil on the consumption of complexing reagents. The paper concluded that the use of polycomplexes for soil strengthening is promising.

This article analyzes trends and examples of the use of digital technology in order to increase the efficiency and improve the quality of construction projects. BIM technologies already at the design stage make it possible to provide as much as possible all the signs that affect the construction object at the beginning of construction and its further operation. The number of these signs increases, due to the fact that the complexity of the construction process of construction objects increases, as the scale of construction increases, the volume of construction products and building materials increases. In this connection, the requirements for the general designer, contractor, customer, etc. are increasing. At the same time, the customer expects to find, in addition to the project, a solution to reduce costs and increase the functionality of the construction object with the highest parameters. The need for high-performance special technologies and methods of organizing the management of construction works is becoming more acute. BIM technologies are the physical and functional characteristics of a construction object presented in digital form. Digital technologies are an integrated special resource of competencies in order to obtain information about a construction object. It provides the basis for the possibility to accept special decisions of a construction object from construction to the moment of its demolition. This model provides an opportunity to delegate a virtual digital model from the creators of the project to the subcontractor, general contractor, owner, as well as the manager of the construction object. The technical tasks of using information modeling technologies are the starting point for planning an investment project both from the customer's position, since they define the scope of using a BIM model at all phases of the operation of a construction object according to the criteria for evaluating information, and from the position of the contractor, since it acts as the basis for generating a plan when a BIM project will be implemented. The list of characteristic technical tasks of BIM modeling application at different stages of the construction object life cycle is determined. The BIM project algorithm is proposed.

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.

The effect of organomodified silica particles on the extraction of dissolved diesel fuel from water was studied. The dependence of the efficiency of water purification on the concentration and type of solid particles, as well as the concentration and type of surfactant, is shown. When using a short-chain surfactant to modify the surface of silica particles, the minimum residual concentration of diesel fuel was 2.71 mg/l at a concentration of 4% Aerosil-380 and hexylamine 57 mmol/l. Replacing the short-chain surfactant hexylamine with the long-chain CTAMB led to an 8% improvement in the quality of water purification due to an increase in the surface activity of the organic cation. The use of modified clay particles to purify water from diesel fuel showed lower efficiency compared to Aerosil-380 particles at similar concentrations of the solid phase and surfactant modifier.

Reducing the loss of thermal energy in heating systems and increasing their reliability is an urgent task for the thermal power industry. The use of polyurethane foam insulation of pipelines is currently considered as the most promising solution to this problem. However, the construction of a durable and economical pipeline with PU insulation requires certain conditions. Despite the advantages of using PU insulation, the experience of implementing such pipelines has revealed problems arising from emergency situations that directly affect the reduction of energy efficiency. To solve these problems, an operational remote control system is being introduced to eliminate accidents and monitor insulation moisture. The paper presents an analysis of the implementation of LoRaWAN-based SDCs on heating networks in the Republic of Tatarstan. The study shows that in the first year of operation, the number of defects was higher due to the establishment of an information collection system and the installation of sensors. However, the second year of the experiment demonstrated a decrease in the number of defects and accidents, which indicates an increase in the efficiency of the system. It is recommended to introduce pipelines with PU insulation and SOD to increase the reliability and efficiency of heating networks.
