In the process of developing a plot of the junction field, the theoretical calculation of the load capacity and the permissible load on the piles is carried out, based on which the number of piles and their arrangement are decided. The results of theoretical calculations are in some cases underestimated when compared with actual values, and the application of theoretical calculation may lead to an increase in construction costs. The article examines the change of pile size and position in a swave field after the actual results of the field tests are obtained. The technical-economic comparison was carried out and the conclusion of the effectiveness of the adopted solution for the three designed houses was drawn.

The cargo turnover of modern distribution centers of network operators reaches hundreds of thousands of tons per year. The technological load on the floors in the warehouse part of the building is 8-10 t/m2 (80-100 kPa), on the floors – up to 2.4 t/m2 (24 kPa). These loads transfer significant pressure through the foundations of the frame to the ground, which, with large sole sizes and mutual influence, increases the lower boundary of the compressible thickness and, as a result, the draft of structures. In the presence of weak soils at the base, precipitation reaches exorbitant values. The situation is aggravated by the high groundwater level, which also increases the sedimentation of foundations. The article presents and analyzes options for solving the problem by strengthening the base by compacting the top layer and cementing it to different depths depending on the pressure and construction of the foundation.

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the adhesion properties of release coatings based on polyisobutylene applied to metallic substrates. A software tool was developed in Microsoft Visual Studio using the C++ programming language to compute the composition and effective technological parameters for forming coatings that ensure optimal adhesion to protected surfaces. As a case study, the method of calculating the relationships between composition, temperature, and formation time is demonstrated for coatings achieving the highest adhesion, corresponding to a score of “zero” on the standardized six-point cross-cut adhesion test. It is shown that the application of the developed software enables parameter evaluation within 1–2 seconds. The computational results are experimentally validated. The morphology of the coatings was examined using optical microscopy. It was observed that no delamination occurs at the intersection points of cuts or within the grid pattern.

The article discusses the features of modeling composite reinforced concrete beams from various (B25 and B65) concrete strength classes. The basic principles of the theory of composite rods were applied in the modeling process. The section of the reinforced concrete beam was divided by boundary layers with a reduced shear coefficient. The stresses and the nature of the distribution of deformations over the height of the beam section were evaluated before and after the introduction of a different number of boundary layers. During the extended analysis, options for introducing vertically arranged boundary layers along the length of the beam were considered. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to evaluate the specifics of the operation of bent structures with a different number of boundary layers.

The article is devoted to the development of modular construction in Russia and related problems. Given the ongoing shortage of living space and the need to modernize the housing stock, modular construction is a promising solution for the rapid construction of affordable housing. Despite the advantages such as faster implementation times, high flexibility and adaptability to various needs, and the ability to quickly dismantle and expand buildings, the technology faces serious challenges in Russia. The lack of a unified regulatory framework and certification brings additional difficulties with financing and lack of infrastructure, which significantly limits the mass use of modular structures. These factors slow down the process of integrating modular construction into domestic construction practice. At the same time, international experience and successful examples of the implementation of such projects, such as the Habitat 67 residential complex in Canada and the high-rise building "Naikagin Capsule Tower" in Japan, demonstrate the possibilities of modular construction in various sectors. Russia continues to actively work on the adaptation of modular technologies, which opens up prospects for solving housing problems and the rapid construction of social facilities. In the country modular construction can play an important role in solving housing problems, especially in regions where traditional construction methods are economically impractical. Despite the existing problems, the implementation of this technology continues to evolve, which opens up prospects for future growth and improvement of the construction industry in Russia.

The article considers a variant of constructing a model of a solar battery orientation drive based on a DC motor and PID control. Orientation in space is performed along two axes: azimuth and zenith. The model is used for optimal adjustment of PID controller parameters when processing the required orientation angles under gusty wind conditions. The following are used as the main adjustment criteria: small overshoot when processing the angle, aperiodic (non-oscillatory) nature of transient processes, minimum dynamic error in compensating for wind effects when processing the angle, minimum settling time when processing the effect. The controller was optimized using the coordinate descent method. A variant of controller adjustment for the optimal mode is given with process graphs confirming its practical optimality. The constructed drive model can be used to implement a digital twin of the solar battery panel orientation drive monitoring and control system.

Toughening of requirements to buildings’ power efficiency enables development and implementation of modern lightweight concretes on efficient porous aggregates into building industry. The key demands to both lightweight heat-insulating and to fine concretes are ensuring low density index and thus low thermal conduction with high durability provided. There has been developed a lightweight heat-insulating fine concrete mix with the use of three fractions of granulated foam glass. To conduct the research there has been used a central composite design, which helped determine optimal consumption of separate fractions of granulated foam glass, and acquire a lightweight heat-insulating fine concrete with the lowest density. On the basis of obtained research results there has been carried out a calculation of thermal conduction ratio with the use of empirical formulae. The research results have been analyzed, and their descriptive statistics have been presented as diagrams and graphs. On the basis of the analysis of the research results there have been obtained regression equations and established influence degree of separate fractions of granulated foam glass on the density and thermal conduction ratio. There has been carried out an optimization of the material mix and the correlation between fine aggregate fractions calculated to provide the lowest average density.

The purpose of this work is to study the thermal stress of the furnace of a fire-tube boiler and its effect on the design of the boiler. To study the effect of thermal stress and furnace proportions on the ratio of heating surface areas, the calculated resistance was tested. Calculations of heat-tube boilers of sectional hot-water boilers with different proportions of the furnace at different thermal loads of the same furnace volume are performed. The calculation of each heating surface is carried out by the method of successive approximations, based in this case on the chord method. In the calculation process, the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the heating surface was first set, and then refined by successive approximations. To reduce the overall balance of the boiler, another global approximation is made when the temperature determined at the outlet of the last heating surface is set at the beginning of the calculation – in the heat balance, where it affects the loss with outgoing gases and the efficiency of the boiler. It is determined that the optimal.
