Application of engineering geophysics in the diagnosis of engineering protection structures of the Varnavinsky reservoir to reduce damage from floods and floods
Bandurin M.A., Volosukhin V.A., Romanova A.S.

Abstract

The article considers the improvement of methods of applying engineering geophysics in the diagnosis of engineering protection structures of the Varnavinsky reservoir in order to reduce damage caused by floods and floods, since due to the climatic characteristics of our country, river floods occur every year, which can lead to exceeding critical water levels in the reservoir. This can cause serious damage to the economy of the Krasnodar Territory, cause damage to health and cause losses to the population due to flooding of economic facilities and settlements located in floodplain zones. The purpose of the research is to assess the technical condition of the engineering protection of the structures of the Varnavinsky reservoir using non−destructive testing devices. The materials for the study were data from non-destructive testing performed at different times of the year at the Varnavinsky reservoir using the Oko-3 and Pulsar-2.2 ground penetrating radars, the Nokta Invenio Smart, and the PSG-MG4 static penetrometer. The application of engineering and geophysical methods in the modernization of the technical condition of engineering protection structures has been carried out. Radiograms of the collapse sites that arose as a result of accidents and were eliminated during the reconstruction of the dam were received. Studies have shown that reinforced concrete structures and the soil base of the low-pressure earthen dam of the Varnavinsky reservoir are in an acceptable condition and perform their functional tasks. The applied hardware and methodological complex made it possible to solve the identified difficulties. The advantage of the complex is its methodical mobility. After carrying out short-term experimental and methodological work and operational processing, the combination of the capabilities of the hardware complex with the engineering and geological situation makes it possible to achieve maximum quality in the shortest possible time and at minimum cost.

Thermal stabilization of soil foundation under climate change conditions
Kraev A.N., Sakharov I.I., Maltseva T.V.

Abstract

The problem of construction in the conditions of permafrost (permafrost) soil distribution is considered, taking into account the fixed climate change. The data on changes in climatic conditions on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as in the area of the construction site (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) are given. The analysis of observations of near-surface air temperature shows an increase in the average annual temperatures relative to the normative values by 2-2.5 °C, which significantly affects the temperature regime of soils.The results of static tests of soils with piles in thawed and frozen conditions of the construction site are given. According to the results of static tests of soils with piles, it is revealed that private values of pile bearing capacity in melted soils for indentation loads are 2.5 times lower than in similar frozen soils.The article presents the results of observations of the temperature regime of soils during the period of thermal stabilization of the soil foundation during the construction of a residential building. Based on the results of observations, the periods of ice-soil massif formation under the structure, as well as its degradation during the warm period of the year are revealed.Numerical modeling of the temperature regime of the foundation soils was performed in the Midas FEA NX software package taking into account the actual climatic parameters and initial temperatures of soils.According to the results of numerical simulation, a visual representation of the stages of frozen ground massif formation was obtained, from creation of separate ice-soil elements around thermal stabilizers, with gradual freezing of frozen zones into a continuous ice-soil massif. Also, as a result of numerical modeling the temperature distribution in the ground base was obtained. The predicted temperature calculations were compared with the results of ground base temperature measurements.

Bryzgalov V.I., Bryzgalov V.I., Karpushko M.O., Burgonutdinov A.M., Zolotozubov D.G., Tatiannikov D.A.

Abstract

Geosynthetic materials have been used in highway construction for more than 30 years. Geomaterials belong to a separate class of polymer construction materials, which help to ensure stability and durability of erected objects. The main advantages of using geosynthetics are: reduction of labor and material costs, increased load capacity and longer service life. Application of modern geosynthetic materials is possible in the temperature range from –40 °C to +60 °C, but it should be taken into account that at negative temperatures their extensibility and strength decreases. When materials work in negative temperatures, frost resistance should be taken into account. In this article, the resistance of geosynthetic materials to repeated freezing and thawing was investigated. The tests were carried out in the laboratory of the Department of “Construction Operations and Geotechnics” of Perm National Research Polytechnic University. Four different materials were selected for testing: geotextile nonwoven needle-punched and thermo-calendered (dornit) – 350; geogrid (geogrid) polypropylene SD 100%; geotextile woven fabric TH-20 100% polypropylene; woven geotextile TH 50. The selected test specimens had a width of 200±1 mm, fixation of the material took place in the clamps of the MT-136 testing machine, providing a distance between them of 100 mm. The tested samples were immersed in a container with water with horizontal placement, the water level above the samples corresponded to 15 mm, the temperature of the freezing chamber corresponded to minus (18°±2) °C and were subjected to 30 cycles of "freezing – thawing". According to the obtained test results, the frost resistance index was: nonwoven geotextile – 112.5 %; geogrid – 111.8 %, woven geotextile TH 20 – 174.4 %; woven geotextile TH 20 – 81 %.

Overview numerical methods for calculating the settlements of the soil surface during of tunneling
Ter-Martirosyan A.Z., Tikhoniuk I.A.

Abstract

It is well known that tunneling using the shield method often causes deformations in the soil mass and on the surface. As a result, the potential damage from tunneling operations to overlying structures in the zone of influence depends on a number of factors, namely: the soil mass and its characteristics, technical and technological features of the tunnel and tunneling machine. And it is numerical methods that make it possible to most reliably simulate the conditions of tunneling close to real ones. The purpose of the work is a review and comparative analysis of the methods of various authors for determining settlements and calculating the excess excavation ratio (volume loss) VL, analysis of the data provided, including field data, as well as determining the possibility of their improvement.With the help of a comprehensive comparative and content analysis of various approaches to determining the settlements of the earth's surface and the excess excavation ratio (volume loss) VL of tunneling operations, the paper presents the main types of numerical methods for calculating the settlements of the earth's surface and the excess excavation ratio (volume loss) VL in chronological order of their occurrence.The analysis of a variety of numerical methods, examples of values of settlements of the earth's surface and the excess excavation ratio (volume loss) VL from sources of various years, provides a broader overview of the results of tunneling operations. The results of the most significant studies are presented. Some approaches to the formation of theories of the most interesting and cited studies are analyzed and explained.Since the settlements of the earth's surface and, accordingly, the overlying structures determines the presence or absence of measures to reduce the impact on them or protection, their correct definition allows you to reduce the cost of construction during tunneling in the zone of influence. Accordingly, there is a further need to develop this geotechnical direction using numerical methods in search of optimal and high-quality solutions for determining settlements from tunneling operations and calculating the excess excavation ratio (volume loss) VL, as well as for possible improvement of regulatory documentation in this area.

Ceramic wall materials made of sand dunes
Suleimenov Z.T., Sagyndykov A.A., Abutalipov E.A.

Abstract

Chemical analysis was performed and the phase composition of the sand dunes, which consists of quartz, clay minerals, carbonates and muscovite, was determined. The macrostructure of the proposed wall ceramics consists of sand pellets with a size of less than 1.5 mm and a finely ground bundle of sand and soda ash. Diagrams of the fusibility of sand dunes and composite bundles of finely ground sand dunes and soda ash are constructed. The affinity of the bundles to the grains of sand dunes and their high reactivity with respect to the surface of the grains ensures a high degree of sintering and obtaining low-stress ceramic structures. The physical and technical properties of sand pellets and firing bundles have been studied. Soda ash additives intensively increase the compressive strength of samples, as well as reduce water absorption and average density.The greatest increase in strength and reduction of water absorption, average density of samples is achieved with the addition of 3 % soda. The introduction of soda into the composition of mixtures contributes to the appearance of a liquid phase at low temperatures (740–760 °C), the amount of which increases with increasing temperature as a result, the sintering process intensifies, as a result of which the physical and mechanical properties of ceramics increase.The resulting liquid phase envelops the entire surface of the sand core, fills the voids between them and pulls the cores together, creating their most advantageous location. In addition, partially melting the surface of the sand core, the liquid phase of the shell contributes to an intensive increase in the amount of melt. The main crystalline phase is anorthite, the formation of which is possibly due to the reaction between CaO formed during the decomposition of calcite and metakaolinite formed during firing and quartz. A high-strength ceramic brick with a strength of 19.7 MPa and a water absorption of 15.4 % was obtained by semi-dry pressing and the content of sand in the charge of 97–99 %, soda ash 1–3 %.

Integrated formation of optimization of resource-scalendar planning of finishing works of residential buildings
Kashina S.G., Gallyamov L.Z.

Abstract

Modern information technologies play an important role in various fields of activity, including construction production. They provide the opportunity to improve the efficiency and quality of the production process and the goods or services produced. In this regard, many large enterprises are beginning to actively use digital technologies to achieve high performance.One of the promising areas in this area is the integrated formation of optimization of resource scheduling. This allows for more efficient use of resources and time, which in turn helps reduce costs and improve the quality of work.However, like any new technology, integrated formation has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, the use of digital technologies can be difficult due to insufficient qualifications of staff, difficulty integrating with existing systems and problems with data availability.However, the use of integrated optimization formations for resource scheduling is still a relevant and effective approach for the construction industry. One of the most promising areas is the use of information modeling technologies. These technologies make it possible to create a virtual model of a construction site, which simplifies the process of design, construction and operation.For the successful implementation of integrated formation based on information modeling technologies, it is necessary to analyze the current state of the enterprise and determine the most suitable methods and tools. It is also important to take into account the needs and capabilities of the company so that the implementation of the new system is as effective as possible.The article identifies the advantages and disadvantages of the integrated formation of optimization of resource-calendar planning for finishing work of residential buildings. The directions of using integrated formations in optimizing resource scheduling, as well as the relevance and effectiveness of introducing information modeling technologies into the construction industry are considered. Methods of application are described and recommendations are given for the implementation of integrated formation using information modeling technologies.

Development of methodological foundations for accelerated testing of road pavements
Konorev A.S., Mironchuk S.A., Eremenko E.A., Dumenko V.A.

Abstract

Testing materials in the laboratory does not fully take into account the features of the actual operation of layers in road pavement, which affects the assessment of its actual properties. Currently, studies conducted on full-scale pavements or on real sections of highways have become widespread. One of the leading areas of road pavement research is the performance of accelerated tests using wheel load simulators. Today, on the territory of the Russian Federation, research in the field of accelerated testing of road pavements, including the development of methodological foundations, is carried out only by the Federal Autonomous Institution "Russian Road Scientific-Research Institute" (FAI "ROSDORNII") within the framework of the State assignment in order to implement achieving the results of the federal project “System-wide measures for the development of road facilities”, which is part of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, on the topic “Creation of an industry-wide competence center for new materials and technologies for the construction, repair and maintenance of highways.”This article outlines the need to develop and use a unified methodology for accelerated testing of road pavements using the “CYCLOS” wheel load simulator (hereinafter referred to as the “CYCLOS” WLS). The methodology presented in this work is aimed at the consistent and most effective implementation of experimental research. The implementation of this methodology will subsequently provide a qualitative comparative analysis and formulate an approach to scientific research in the road sector.The main approach in developing these methodological foundations was an analysis of existing regulatory and technical documentation in the field of road infrastructure, a literature review of existing research in the field of accelerated testing in the international community, as well as practical experience in operating the CYKLOS WLS within the framework of test tests.
