An overview of the rationale for the use of lightweight multi-hollow floor slabs is given. Technological and design features of multi-hollow floor slabs are considered. The possibilities of rational use and labor intensity of lightweight hollow floor slabs are presented. On the basis of existing technologies, calculation methods for lightweight hollow slabs and current norms, the calculation of monolithic slabs in the Lira software package was carried out. The work of floor slabs with spans equal in two directions is considered. It was found that regardless of the span of the floor slab, the effect of reducing its own weight exceeds the effect of reducing the cruelty of the section. The total deflection from the floor slab's own weight and payload on it for hollow slabs is lower than for solid slabs of the same span.The conducted numerical experiment allows us to establish the limits of the effectiveness of the use of lightweight multi-hollow monolithic floor slabs, upon reaching which the use turns out to be significantly more profitable than the use of traditional girderless floors.

At present, various software systems are widely used to carry out researches in the field of technology, make it possible to create mathematical models of real objects. Their further study allows to obtain a large amount of calculated data necessary for units’ design, resource assessment and performance of the object under study. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the conduct of experimental studies of real objects, as well as to obtain additional data that characterize specific parts during operation, such as the values of internal stresses, natural vibration frequencies, data on strength, fatigue, etc. However, during the process of real objects models creating, not always all the necessary data is available. In this regard, it is necessary to carry out research with some real details. To determine the material hardness of the rotor shaft of the turbocharger at different depths from the shaft surface, special new samples were made. Next, the microhardness of the material was determined. The hardness of the material from the surface decreases and at a depth of 1 mm becomes equal to the hardness of the unhardened one. After research finishing, a geometric model of the rotor shaft is created. The model is created using the SolidWorks Simulation complex. The working part of the shaft model consists of two layers: the first one is the surface with increased hardness and 1 mm thick; the second one is internal unhardened. This model is used in the research and development of technological processes for the repair of the part.

The article provides a comparative assessment of the possibilities of visual and machine sorting of sawn timber. It is noted that in conditions of depletion of forest resources, visual sorting of sawn timber according to the criteria of GOST 8486 cannot guarantee strength indicators corresponding to the assigned type of wood. while machine sorting allows for an objective sorting of wood according to the normalized values ​​of strength, modulus of elasticity and density, according to the specified lower limits of their standard values. Using the example of the second grade wood (strength class C24), the influence of the statistical scatter of data on the rejection minimum assigned during machine sorting of sawn timber is considered.

The article considers the influence of external noise sources on humans and the environment as an environmental factor and ways to combat noise. The aim of the work is to study the external enclosing structures of residential buildings, the facades of which are oriented to a noisy highway on the example of residential complexes of the city of Rostov-on-Don and noise screens installed on the highway along the residential development of the city of Bataysk, Rostov region.

Acoustic measurements of the noise level were carried out, which made it possible to conclude about the effectiveness of the noise protection structures provided. It has been experimentally established that noise-proof structures reduce the sound pressure level to an acceptable level. When designing residential buildings, a simultaneous calculation of noise protection and thermal protection of buildings is necessary, determining the materials, the design of the outer wall, the thickness of the insulation layer and the choice of noise-proof windows.

The article describes the well-known design of a tape-shell foundation. Based on the analysis of the known design, a number of factors affecting the limitation of the scope of the tape-shell foundation are derived. In order to ensure the controlled inclusion of the reinforced concrete shell of the foundation in the work, the author of the article proposed the use of a damping gasket under the tape support contours. A gasket made of an easily compressible slab material - polystyrene foam - is compressed under the influence of the load from the walls and columns of the basement of the building, the reinforcement of the shell is stretched and involves the soil of the subshell part of the foundation. At the same time, the strength characteristics of the band-shell foundation increase, the sediment decreases. The author of the article conducted numerical studies to determine the required thickness of the gasket. It is proved that the use of a damping gasket is relevant for soils with a deformation modulus of less than 15 MPa, above this value, the use of a gasket is impractical.
