The paper considers the opportunities and obstacles to the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) in megacities on the example of Moscow. The paper analyzes the applied RES-based generation technologies, taking into account their applicability in large cities. Special attention was paid to the conversion of unused historical dams into small hydroelectric power plants (SHPP) as an integration of RES in megacities. Based on the results of the technical and economic analysis, it was found that the conversion of an unused dam on the Yauza River into a SHPP is justified.

One of the actual problems in the field of analysing loads and impacts on bearing structures is their identification. It means the point of application, the type of action and its intensity in cases where there is an impact result, but the parameters that caused this result are not determined. For example, it is an accident action, as a result of which the structure is deformed and collapsed. The solution of such problems arises when analysing accidents on load-bearing structures in construction, as well as when monitoring the deformed state of structures in time. The paper proposes to use the principles of neural network modelling to solve the problem of identifying the impact in the form of a concentrated force on the example of beam systems. The values of linear and angular nodal displacements at some action are considered as input data to neurons. As an example, the linearly deformable beam of constant stiffness is considered, the material of which is a continuous isotropic medium.

he article considers a plane problem of calculating the interaction of a culvert of different outlines with a soil embarckment, taking into account the constructive nonlinearity. Due to the impossibility of the soil to work in tension, the interaction of the pipe and soil is assumed to be uniulateral. In the problem, the outline of the pipe is changed, other parameters being equal. As the results of the calculation, the area of contact / separation and adhesion / slippage of the pipe with the soil is considered. Based on the results of calculations, recommendations are given for choosing the outline of culverts.

On the example of the beams, the dynamics of systems with unilateral constraints are considered. The algorithm for calculating such systems as a combination of the step method of Newmark and the Lemke algorithm that determines the work scheme of the beam in each time step is proposed. Model tasks are considered with a harmonic exciting force, suddenly applied force, impulse exposure. The numerical convergence of the solution was investigated during the thickening of the temporary grid. It is shown that the accuracy of the solution significantly depends on the determination of the moment of changing the working schemes, since the error of the solution increases with an increase in the events “inclusion/off” of unilateral constraints.

Steel roof trusses are the main type of load-bearing structures used in the roofing of industrial buildings. Among them, trusses of the “Molodechno” type have become widespread, in which closed bent-welded profiles of square and rectangular cross sections are used as rods. The use of this type of rolled product makes it possible to create structures without gussets and connecting strips, with a maximum degree of process automation, which significantly reduces labor intensity and reduces the cost of their production. Another feature of the coatings under consideration is their non-running solution. The trusses are located in 4m increments, supported by rafter structures. However, in such a situation, the loads on the truss and the forces in the elements are small, and therefore, and also taking into account the limited range of bent-welded profiles, understressing of the truss elements and excessive consumption of metal are likely. Three variants of coatings with different pitches of trusses were considered, and the metal consumption per square meter of coating was determined. It has been proven that with increasing pitch of trusses, the metal consumption of coatings decreases.

The article discusses the possibility of using the ANSYS WORKBENCH software package to calculate the uneven settlement of building foundations. The heterogeneity of the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, the difference in the thickness of the bearing layer and other factors lead to uneven development of settlement. This causes the appearance of cracks in the supporting structures, and in the worst case, the destruction of part of the building or the building as a whole. Methods for calculating settlements are very complex, but using the capabilities of modern computers and computer simulation programs makes it possible to obtain a simple and accurate solution to such problems. To evaluate the deformations of the foundation on heterogeneous soils the ANSYS software package was be used. The proposed method can be used to quantify the uneven settlement of the foundations of real buildings and structures.

The safety of hazardous production facilities is directly related to the reliable operation of pipeline systems, as a failure occurring in the elements of such systems can lead to serious consequences for production facilities and the environment. Since the greatest number of failures is associated with faults caused by corrosion, to increase reliability it is necessary to increase the corrosion resistance of metal of pipeline elements. The article gives an overview of materials for manufacturing parts, the influence of different climatic conditions on the mechanical properties of steels. The developed rotary gate designed for automatic prevention of reverse flow of working medium is also presented. To confirm the serviceability of the design, strength calculation of the structure was carried out, where its stress-strain state under the given loading conditions is considered. As a result, the values of maximum equivalent stresses, maximum deformations and displacements were obtained, which are lower than the maximum permissible ones.

A new building structure is proposed - a welded steel I-beam with a prestressed perforated wall. The prestress in the beam is created by stretching the web and subsequent welding with chords. Before prestressing, holes are cut in the wall. Using the LIRA-SAPR software package, a model is proposed that can be used to study the operation of a prestressed perforated beam (PNPB) structure. The influence of various forms of voids in the wall on the change in the stress-strain state of steel I-beams prestressed by the wall drawing is studied. A preliminary assessment was made of the favorable effect of prestressing in a conventional perforated beam on the stress-strain state of beams with different forms of perforations in the web.

To create composite building materials with a polymer matrix, various fillers of both plant (wood-polymer composites - WPC) and mineral (mineral-polymer composites - MPC) origin can be used. The article evaluates the feasibility of using twelve different minerals in MPC from the standpoint of strength, cost and weight of the resulting materials in comparison with similar indicators of WPC. By sequentially considering each of the evaluated parameters, the sample of fillers is reduced by excluding combinations with characteristics worse than those of the reference material - a wood-polymer binary composite consisting of wood flour and polypropylene. It has been shown that one of the most effective mineral fillers can be waste from construction industry enterprises, as well as structures recycled during the demolition of buildings and structures.

The provisions on the choice of vehicles for the transportation of prefabricated reinforced concrete structures are considered. Transportation can be carried out using general-purpose and specialized vehicles. The existing rules for loading onto road transport are aimed at eliminating the formation of defects in structures. For loading onto vehicles in structures, various devices for slinging are used - mounting loops, holes, or other elements provided for by working drawings for specific structures. Ensuring the safety of transported structures is possible only when studying the complex system "road - vehicle - transported structures". Factors that should be taken into account when calculating for transport effects: type of product (columns, slabs, panels, etc.) and its design features; type of vehicle (column carrier, panel carrier, etc.) with its characteristics; type of road and speed of transportation.

The transitional type of pavement of highways is widespread in Russia. At the same time, the increased estimated time between repairs cannot be fully ensured by the adoption of existing design solutions for the installation of transitional pavement pavements. This is confirmed by the dynamics of changes in the operational state, presented on the example of the road of regional importance Birakan - Kuldur in the section km 0+000 - km 25+000 in the Jewish Autonomous Region. Non-failure operation during the estimated overhaul and estimated service life of the pavement is assessed by the destruction coefficient, the limit values of which are set in the regulatory documentation. A significant decrease in the pavement destruction coefficient during the first few years of operation indicates insufficient strength and stability of the transition pavement pavement, which determines the need to develop special measures to ensure them.

Construction control at the stage of preparation for the commissioning of the object requires checking the quality of external enclosing structures according to the air permeability parameter. The GOST 31167 methodology available to specialists, as well as other similar methods, is based on the principle of creating and maintaining the required pressure drop in the room and beyond its boundary for a long time while simultaneously determining the flow rate of the air supplied for testing. The essence of this method is that it limits the possibility of quantifying the values of air permeability through specific sections of external enclosing structures and allows you to determine only complex indicators for one room or a group of rooms without specifying specific values of defects in various types of exterior walls, window fillings, door openings, and abutments. The proposed method of qualitative and quantitative assessment of air permeability is based on an additional analysis of the temperature fields of the internal surfaces of external enclosing structures while ensuring a given difference in pressure and temperature of the indoor and outdoor air entering the room by creating a vacuum. Conducting field studies is necessarily complemented by the results of numerical modeling of structures in undisturbed and defective states.
