The article analyzes the idea of architectural reserves proposed by Pskov architect and restorer Yu.P. Spegalsky in the middle of the XX century. The Pskov restorer proposed to allocate separate sections of the city center with ancient monuments on their territory as the basis for its development as an open-air museum. The plan was not implemented, but later this theory was used as the basis for successfully implemented modern restoration and architectural projects aimed at developing the urban environment of Pskov. The options for continuing the development of the idea in the near future are considered on the example of a complex formed by ancient defensive structures and a monument of constructivist architecture.

Indirect reinforcement can significantly increase the strength and deformation characteristics of concrete. For the compressed zone of reinforced concrete beams, one of the most effective options for indirect reinforcement is transverse welded mesh. At the same time, the current regulatory documents still have a number of gaps in the methodology for calculating such structures. The article presents experimental data and calculation results for three series of reinforced concrete beams with indirect reinforcement of the compressed zone. Based on the calculation results, the shortcomings of the normative methodology are shown when performing calculations within the framework of the theory of limit states and assigning design values for the strength of concrete with indirect reinforcement. Conclusions are drawn about the necessary sequence for calculating the design strength and deformation characteristics of concrete with indirect reinforcement.

To develop a methodology for assessing the strength of ring flanges, research was conducted on the load-bearing capacity of welded pipe joints of varying diameters. The study employed the component finite element method (CFEM) implemented in the IDEAStatiCa Connection software. To verify the obtained results, a numerical experiment was carried out using the ANSYS software package. The investigation considered several types of flange joints made from welded pipes with different diameters. Parameters were selected based on common sections used according to russian Series 3.400-8 (Issue 2). The study found that for all cases, the highest stresses occurred on the flange at the joint with the smaller diameter pipe. The analysis indicated that the CFEM's applicability should be limited to diameter-to-wall-thickness ratios (D1/t1) of up to 40. Beyond this threshold, the CFEM does not accurately predict the strength of the joints due to the significant deformation that occurs in the pipe walls, forming a truncated cone shape at the flange junctions. For practical applications, formulas are proposed to check the strength of ring flanges. These formulas account for the weakening of the plates by bolt holes and provide conservative results. The findings highlight the necessity for additional numerical and physical experiments to refine the methodology for cases with D1/t1 ratios exceeding 75. The proposed approach offers a practical solution for evaluating the strength of ring flanges in welded pipe joints of varying diameters, contributing to the development of relevant engineering standards.

Framed fabric roof structures of the sawtooth-type are considered. The structures are arranged on rectangular plan. They consist of a number of sectors which are separated by arch-shaped supporting ribs. The sectors are covered with a prestressed soft shell. Geometric nonlinear static analysis of the shell is performed taking into account the effect of snow and wind loads. The general dimensions of the shell and the prestress value are considered as the primary variables. Quantitative assessment of deformation of the shell is carried out by means of so-called deformability index. The index is reciprocal to the relative deflection. A functional expression for approximating the deformability index is proposed. The expression is to be used at the stage of developing the design solutions for fabric structures. The coefficients of the function are found by means of the least squares method. The guidance for assigning the main parameters of the sawtooth-type fabric structures are given.

Indentation is a universal and practical method for obtaining material characteristics, especially when it is impossible or difficult to expose the material to other measuring methods. Experimental data on the mechanical properties of various types of materials were obtained using the shock loading unit. A mathematical model based on the finite element method was used to verify the experimental results. The article considers the solution of the problem of classification of neural metals with different mechanical properties. As part of the work, an artificial neural network has been created that allows the distribution of materials into selected groups. It is determined that a significant advantage of using neural networks is the ability to process experimental data and identify complex nonlinear dependencies, which makes them in demand in tasks related to the study of material properties.

The article presents calculations of energy costs when carrying out major renovations of a building. Based on the obtained values, the structure of fuel and energy resources expenditures by subgroups of repair and construction work was formed. The presented research results are based on the calculation and comparison of the obtained energy consumption values in proportional units - kilograms of standard fuel. As a result of the study, the highest energy consumption was established, which is accounted for by the consumption of liquid fuel in comparison with electricity, which is due to the specifics of the machines and mechanisms used (truck crane, truck, etc.), as well as the chosen technology of repair and construction work. In order to account for and minimize energy costs during the period of major repairs, it is also proposed to monitor the consumption of fuel and energy resources.

Paper presents an algorithm for analyzing and controlling data and project quality in construction using building information modeling and extensible markup language. The authors, argue that project quality stems from data quality and information quality. The proposed algorithm integrates BIM with extensible markup language, converting data quality and project quality criteria from employer information requirements into an extensible markup language scheme to ensure compliance with established standards. Key criteria for data quality and project quality include classification, identity, hierarchy, information identity, coordination, level of development , association, redundancy, staging, and spatial orientation. The algorithm involves creating a test BIM model, to simulate employer information requirements violations, performing checks using a Model Checker, automation tool in Autodesk Revit, and ensuring all criteria are met.

The article contains the methodology and results of theoretical and experimental studies of the stress-strain state of a conical radial-beam dome with triangular shell elements. The results obtained by various methods are analyzed and compared. The triangular membrane panel is part of the radial beam dome structure and consists of a support frame and a steel membrane in the shape of a triangle. The shape of the triangle forming the membrane panel can be different and depends on the number of ribs in the radial beam dome. The supporting contour is a compressed-bending element of the dome and is made, as a rule, from a rolled steel profile with a channel section. The membrane is made of thin steel sheet and attached to the upper flange of the channel with self-tapping screws or spot welding. To assess the strength and deformability of a steel membrane sheet, its operation under the action of a uniformly distributed snow load, an unevenly distributed snow load and a concentrated installation load was considered. Several options for nonlinear static calculations in various computer systems are shown.

The object of study is flexural reinforced concrete elements without transverse reinforcement under the action of shear forces. The calculation of reinforced concrete beams for shear is a complex problem, and its formulas are obtained by experimental or semi-empirical methods on the basis of various theoretical calculation models. In Russian standards, the calculations of reinforced concrete structures under the action of shear forces are performed based on the length of the most dangerous projection of the inclined section on the longitudinal axis of the element, and the formulas lack parameters that would take into account the influence of longitudinal reinforcement on the strength of inclined sections. The novelty of the present research is that the author, based on the theory of Prof. A.S. Zalesov, proposed a new approach to determine the shear strength of inclined sections of elements reinforced without stirrups. In the new approach, an analytical expression is obtained that takes into account the work of longitudinal regular reinforcement by introducing a longitudinal reinforcement coefficient. Examples of calculations performed according to the proposed methodology and SP 63.13330.2018 are given, where a series of experimentally tested specimens are taken for comparative calculation. The results of comparative calculations have shown the adequacy of the new approach to determine the strength of inclined sections of reinforced concrete elements reinforced without stirrups.

Nowadays, numerical methods are widely used to realise complex calculations.Verification of the correctness of the numerical calculation results is a relevant task. The validity of the results can be confirmed by determining the stress-strain state by various methods. This paper presents the results of the calculation of thin isotropic ring spherical shells of constant thickness with half-shell angle in the range of (90-170) degrees by two numerical methods. The results of solving the system of differential equations of the general moment theory of shells with the use of the computer mathematics system (Maple 2017) and the finite element method (FEM) are discussed. The given examples show that the calculation results with the use of the selected finite element KE-44 coincide with an accuracy of 10-15 % for shells with a half-shell angle of 120 degrees. When the angle is increased to 170 degrees, the difference in function values becomes significant. The paper gives some examples of calculation of ring spherical shells under the action of one and three annular loads. The variation of axial and radial displacements, of meridional bending moment for shells with the ratio of radius of the curvature to shell thickness 25, 50, 100, 200 is shown. Plots of meridional bending moment and moment isopole are given.
