The article presents a way to increase the load-bearing capacity of a reinforced concrete column due to metal clips from the corners with an increase in the load on it. To ensure the joint operation of the existing column and the metal cage, the corners are subjected to prestressing, which is achieved by compressing the corners with jacks.

Keywords: reinforced concrete column, column reinforcement, metal cage, prestressing of the cage

The purpose of this work is to develop an algorithm for recognizing shrinkage defects on metal alloys. The steps for image processing are described. When analyzing the algorithm, a description is presented for each step, followed by a software implementation. The final step, after using the methods of the algorithm, is to count the contours of the defects. To demonstrate the functionality of the software, random photos of the metal body in the section were taken, where defects in the form of gas pores can be directly observed. The software, with the correct selection of input data, processes the image with high accuracy, minimizing errors in calculating defects. Using the proposed algorithms reduces the diagnostic time. The article presents a comparative description of the manual and automated methods, showing the effectiveness of the second method in comparison with the first. To write the software, the Python 3.7 programming language was used, as well as the OpenCV computer vision algorithms library.

the article presents experimental studies of a low-power boiler with a furnace of a high-temperature fluidized bed with recirculation of outgoing gases in stationary and transient modes of operation. The experimental installation of the boiler KVP-1,74 WKS with recirculation of outgoing gases is represented and described. The results of experimental studies of the dependences of the coefficient of excess oxygen at of the volume of the recirculation of exhaust gases of the boiler KVP-1,74 VTX at nominal and partial loads, based on the percentage of fuel saving of the boiler from the amount of recirculation of exhaust gases of the boiler KVP-1,74 VTX at nominal and partial loads boilers, graphs of transient processes in boiler "KVP-1,74-VTX" with recirculation of flue gas when changing the fuel consumption, GRAPHS of the comparison of transients in the boiler "KVP-1,74-VTX" with recirculation of flue gas when changing fuel consumption.

In this paper we consider the problem of effective forecasting of electricity consumption for multiple objects in automatic mode. We propose an approach to automation of forecasting process, based on CRISP-DM. There were considered methods of computational intelligence for the data preprocessing - filling the gaps and identification of the emission, methods of construction and adjustment of forecasting models. As the computational basis are used connective models, based on neural networks and on constructive neural networks. There was shown the system architecture that implements the mechanisms of computational intelligence, and was presented the results of the tests.

Keywords: consumption of electricity, forecasting automation, computational intelligence, identification of the emission, connective models.
