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.

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.

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 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.

Due to the increasing pace of construction and overhaul of roads, there is a need to introduce more economical and efficient technologies. One of such technologies is soil stabilization. Based on the study of various scientific literature and project documentation, typical soils of the foundation and roadbed of the Kirov region have been established, and their features have been identified. During the study of the soils of the region, several dangerous geological processes were discovered that affect the operation and construction of roads. The article analyzes various methods and techniques of stabilization of heaving soils, as well as possible design solutions for the construction of a layer of modified soil. In addition, the mechanisms by which stabilization is carried out and cases of their application were given. In the course of the study, the main types of stabilizing additives, their features and principle of operation were considered. In order to identify the degree of influence of various binders on the technological sequence of construction, variants of schemes for the production of work on soil reinforcement are presented, depending on their types. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the stabilization technology is one of the most modern, efficient and cost-effective and provides various advantages in comparison with other alternative methods of strengthening of heaving soils. The relevance of this method for the Kirov region is also proved.

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.

The main features and goals of energy efficiency in residential construction are considered in order to ensure minimal heat loss of buildings, and thus reduce the use of the required amount of energy to compensate for heat losses. With the increasing energy crisis and the deterioration of the environmental situation in large cities, recently foreign countries have attached importance to the rational use of energy resources. Facades are one of the main elements that provide a solution to improve the energy efficiency of the building itself, as they reduce the heat loss coefficient to a significant level. Today, Germany is a world leader in energy efficiency, as the country uses the most modern energy saving technologies.
