The results of a study of the effect of hardening the roof of workings of small length, of arbitrary shape, with a cross section of up to 80 m2, with advanced anchoring, which can significantly reduce the displacement of soil outcrops, are presented. The analysis shows that it is not possible to completely eliminate soil fallouts; therefore, a complex of studies of a stress-strain (SSD) soil mass, reinforced with a protective screen, was carried out. Finite element modeling (FEM) has established that advanced anchoring up to 15 m long does not work effectively, since the anchors are located in the zone of soil slippage. Increasing the length of the protective screen anchors to support their ends outside the sliding prism makes it possible to increase the stability of soil outcrops in the face.

Effective reinforcement of the coating beam, by means of the construction of a framing frame around it, implies a reasonable choice of a construction from a range of rolled metal. The frame creates a single system with the coating beam by means of tension devices, the change of forces in which provides state control. In the article, a comparative analysis of moments in a frame made of an I-beam and a special steel channel, as having potentially equal performance characteristics, is proposed for a comparative study. The research was carried out on the basis of numerical modeling by the finite element method using the Etabs software product. The result of the experiment was the transverse forces and moments determined in the newly formed system – the coating beam plus the frame – from the applied loads and the percentage of reinforcement of the beam when taking into account the frame. The array of numbers obtained as a result of the numerical experiment was processed by digital mathematical analysis.

The formation of the structural form of the roof of trihedral trusses, each of which consists of two inclined flat trusses with a common lower chord, is considered. The design of the spatial truss is made with continuous chords of a closed composite section and a triangular slanting lattice from single rolling corners. The purpose of numerical research of a span trihedral trusses is to assess its stress-strain state with variability of influencing parameters. The methodology of numerical research is based on a calculated mathematical model of a trihedral truss with the application of single loads in the knots and allows you to obtain an array of stress-strain state data, taking into account the variability of the load, which is due to the characteristics of the construction region and the features of the enclosing structure of the roof. The structure of the spatial-stem model is based on a centered geometric scheme. The approbation of the presented methodology was carried out using a trihedral truss spatial-stem calculation model. As a result of numerical research of the proposed technique, data characterizing the stress-strain state of the trihedral truss model from a single nodal load were obtained. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the presented research methodology allows obtaining structured data taking into account the variability of load values and can have practical application of the calculation results in the design.

The article presents the results of comparative analysis of the equations of Russian and foreign design codes for calculating the web strength capacity of I-beams with steel and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) transverse reinforcement. It is known that the strength of the web is affected by the properties of the transverse FRP, in particular, its relatively low modulus of elasticity. When calculating the strength of the webl, both homeland and foreign design codes do not distinguish between structures with FRP and steel transverse reinforcement. To assess the accuracy of the equations of the codes, the calculation was performed on a sample made up of the results of our tests and the experiments of other authors. When calculating according to the method of SP 295 and Eurocode 2, overestimated values of the resistance of the web with FRP were obtained. The formulas for the strength of the webs, which give a significant margin when calculating beams with steel transverse reinforcement, also overestimate the resistance of beams for specimens with composite transverse reinforcement

The article considers the work of a reinforced concrete beam lying on an elastic half-plane. The strength of concrete is considered as a random variable, while the initial modulus of elasticity of concrete and, accordingly, the initial stiffness of the beam are taken as functions of the random cubic strength of concrete. The base of the beam is considered as an elastic stochastically inhomogeneous half-plane. Using the method of canonical expansions of random functions, the probabilistic parameters of the probability distribution densities of beam deflections, as well as bending moments and transverse forces in a reinforced concrete beam, which are non-stationary random functions, are obtained. This makes it possible to further determine the probability of occurrence of limit states in a reinforced concrete beam.

Mechanical systems oscillate relative to the equilibrium position, and their amplitude depends on both frequency and mass, shape, design and mechanical properties of the system. There are two parameters of the grequency response of mechanical systems: the frequency of their natural vibrations and dynamicity on the effect of forced vibrations (dynamic coefficient). The purpose of the article is to investigate methods for calculating the parameters of the frequency response such a frequency of natural vibrations and the dynamic coefficient of a cantilevered steel beam. The methods which were used are analytical, finite element method with the ANSYS software environment and experimental method on the vibration stand with two loading methods: sinusoidal vibration using the swinging frequency method and broadband random vibration. The obtained natural oscillation frequency values are consistent within the relative error of 15%, dynamic coefficient values are consistent within the relative error of 5%. The finite element method is well consistent with the analytical method, while it requires fewer operations for more complex designs. Differences in the results of experiments arise from differences in the methods of loading the object of research.
