  • Technology for the installation of an unplanned concreting working joint using a slag-alkali solution

    Monolithic reinforced concrete structures are widely used in construction practice. When concreting massive structures, technological and organizational difficulties may arise in ensuring the continuity of the concrete mix, which leads to the need to organize working joints. Studies conducted earlier show a decrease in strength characteristics in this area and the bearing capacity of the entire structure. Known and practical solutions to the problem cause additional labor, material and time costs. In this paper, we propose a method for installing a technological seam caused by unplanned interruptions in concreting for technological and organizational reasons, based on previously conducted experimental and pilot studies by the author of this article. The proposed method consists in the fact that, when a break occurs, subsequent concreting is carried out with a break from the previously concreted section, while a stepped profile is formed with the help of fasteners, as a result of which a space is organized bounded by the surface of the first and second concreted sections and a formwork of a shape close to pyramidal, similar to the run-in fines, during the construction of brickwork. After holding the concrete of both sections and dismantling the cut-offs, a concrete mixture of the same class on Portland cement is laid within the free space of the applied slag-alkali solution with the characteristics: slag with a basicity modulus of more than 1.0; an alkaline solution with a hydrogen index level above 12.0. The technological features of performing forced seam concreting according to the proposed method are given.

  • Digital modeling of the technical condition of buildings for maintenance and repair purposes

    This article investigates the application of a digital operational model to enhance the efficiency of maintenance and repair processes for capital construction projects. The study focuses on the operational phase within the building lifecycle, analyzing maintenance procedures and categorizing structural defects. The research identifies limitations in traditional defect reports, which lack quantitative data and spatial referencing to the building structure. These limitations hinder their effectiveness in organizational and technical planning for repair works. The proposed digital model optimizes building condition management, improves the accuracy of technical assessments, and facilitates precise quantification of repair scopes. It also enhances collaboration between facility management and contracting entities. A case study of the educational and laboratory building at the Northern (Arctic) Federal University demonstrates the model's implementation. Key benefits include cost reduction, improved maintenance quality, and streamlined operational workflows. The findings highlight the potential of digital tools to transform building maintenance practices, offering a data-driven approach to facility management in the construction sector.

  • Ability to assess construction risks at the design stage

    To ensure the safety of capital construction facilities, it is necessary to anticipate and predict risks at the planning and design stage. Risk forecasting is carried out in both quantitative and qualitative measurement. The accuracy of the calculations requires consideration of a large number of different risks, their causes, possible consequences and the likelihood of their occurrence. At this scale of input, traditional ways of calculating construction risks are costly in terms of money and labour, and can be very time-consuming. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies automate the process of risk assessment and calculation. With digital technology, all the factors arising during construction will be taken into account in real time. Despite a number of limitations in the application of this technology, this method is the most promising and increasingly widespread.

  • Organizational and technological solutions for establishing relationships between the parameters of the construction flow when breaking down the overall work front

    In this scientific article, the issues of the interrelationships of flow parameters during the process of breaking down the general front of construction work, operations and related processes were considered. The main flow factors that have an impact on the time and duration of work are the number of private fronts (seizures), the time period, and the number of variations in the construction work itself. In this paper, the procedure for establishing the interrelationships of various parameters of molasses was considered in detail. According to the conclusions of the analysis, it was found that, taking into account the fact that the design of the calendar plan does not take into account the time intervals allocated for super-simple activities and operations of upcoming subspecies of construction work, it is necessary to additionally take into account the progression of the intervals of deployment and curtailment of construction work flows (resource complexes, private flows) and frontal complexes. It is also proved that the determination of the interrelationships of the flow parameters is associated with the fragmentation of the type of work into individual processes, and the general front of construction work into private ones, while the duration of the processes from which the schedule of work is formed is the main assessment of the effectiveness of the calendar plan.
