The problem of estimation of fire resistance of steel frame structures with intumescent coatings is considered. It implies that both physical properties of a covering (its thickness and structure) and mechanical properties of a metal structure change critically at heating. All above changes should be considered to maintain the standard values of fire resistance of a construction at calculation. Usually, known technical characteristics of fire resistance of intumescent coverings are used for estimation of fire resistance of steel structures with intumescent coverings. Importance of taking into account the influence of strength loss time at heating of a steel structure on calculation of fire resistance limit of system “intumescent fireproof coating steel structure” is shown in the article. On an example of calculation of heating time to the critical temperature of steel columns and beams protected by intumescent coating, it is shown that own heating time of steel structures before they lose strength makes 10 to 16 % from a settlement limit of fire resistance. This fact should be considered at the forecast of fire resistance of steel frame structures with intumescent coatings.

A comparison of the strengthening efficiency of the samples after the use of different processing methods is performed.
Calculations on the example of a steel column showed that with the combined effect of an explosion that causes deformation and subsequent fire, even without damaging the fire-retardant coat, there is a significant decrease in the fire resistance of the structure due to a decrease in the critical temperature. It is shown that, on the basis of the methodology proposed in this work, for hazardous operations industrial facilities, it is possible to predict the stability of steel columns in crash explosions followed by fire, as well as to recommend the values of workloads and parameters of fire-retardant coats providing the necessary stability. It is also shown that when calculating the fire resistance limit of a steel structure with intumescent fire-retardant coat, it is necessary to take into account the proper heating time of steel structures until they lose strength.
The results of estimative calculations of bearing capacity, critical temperatures, and fire resistance ratings of reinforced concrete bending elements based on fiber concrete with disperse reinforcement of steel, basalt and synthetic fiber are presented. The calculations carried out on the example of a reinforced concrete rectangular beam both taking into account the percentage of reinforcement of each element and at a constant load corresponding to the condition of calculation adequacy showed that disperse reinforcement of a reinforced concrete bending element with steel, basalt and synthetic fiber increases its bearing capacity, but slightly affects critical temperature and fire resistance rating. Despite the fact that concrete with basalt fiber is the least sensitive to heat, concrete with steel and synthetic fibers turned out to be comparable in this indicator with ordinary concrete. The presented results of evaluative calculations allow predicting the use of bending reinforced concrete elements based on concrete with disperse fibers in conditions of increased fire hazard, depending on the percentage of reinforcement and on the workload.
The problem of attenuation of a shock wave during its propagation in long communication channels of industrial buildings or mining workings is considered. It is shown that an explosion in a channel produces a head shock wave with a plane wavefront, where the dynamic pressure significantly exceeds the pressure at fronts forming by the incident and reflected shock waves. A physical model of the formation and propagation of a shock wave in a channel with walls of different rigidity is proposed. It is shown that if one of the channel walls is movable or easily deformed, this leads to a violation of geometry of plane wavefront of the head shock wave and its weakening. The necessity of arranging pressure-relief structure in communication channels of buildings with increased explosive hazard and mine workings is grounded.
Electrochemical research is focused on the tungsten extraction during acid electrochemical treatment of WC-Co pseudoalloy in chloride solutions. The target resulted products of the treatment are: tungsten oxide (VI), tungsten powder with a given particle size distribution (2…3 μm). Based on the analysis of kinetics, the mechanism of dissolution of the WC-Co pseudoalloy in a solution of 2.5 mol∙dm-3 HCl and with the addition of HF was proposed. It was found that a well-soluble higher tungsten chloride is formed on the surface of the pseudoalloy, which is eventually hydrolyzed in aqueous solution to form tungsten oxides. The dispersion control levers were investigated and the technological parameters of obtaining tungsten metal powder from low-temperature ionic alloys (NaCl-KCl-CsBr-NaF) were determined, which make it possible to obtain tungsten metal powder of a given particle size distribution. It is stated that the use of tungsten powder (W or WO3) for the modification of aramid fiber can significantly increase the heat resistance of aramid fabric and reduce its wear
Purpose of work. Determination of the terms of weakening the destructive action of a shock wave during its propagation in the channels of mining workings or long communication premises of industrial buildings in an emergency explosion. Methods. Using an analytical research method based on the main provisions of theory of combustion and explosion. Construction and analysis of the physical model of formation and distribution of a shock wave in the channel. Results. The problem of weakening of a shock wave during its propagation in long channels of mining workings or communication passageways of industrial buildings with a potentially explosive atmosphere is considered. It is shown that when an explosion in the channel is formed by a head shock wave with a flat front, dynamic pressure which significantly exceeds the pressure on the fronts of falling and reflected shock waves that form the head shock wave. A physical model of formation and distribution of a shock wave in a channel with walls of different rigidity is proposed. It is shown that if one of the walls of the channel is mobile or easily deformed, it leads to a violation of the geometry of the plane front of the head shock wave and its weakening. Moreover, the reconstruction of the plane front of the head shock wave can occur at a distance of not less than 6-8 channel width. On the basis of this observation, the need to arrange explosion-relief valves in channels of mining workings or communication premises of industrial buildings with a potentially explosive atmosphere is substantiated. Novelty. A physical model of the formation and propagation of a shock wave in a channel with walls of different stiffness is proposed. The necessity of equipping explosion-relief valves in the long communication channels of mine workings and buildings with increased explosion hazard to attenuate the shock wave is substantiated. Practical significance. Arrangement of expanders with explosion-relief valves with dimensions comparable to the channel diameter and intervals between them up to 8 channel diameters in long communication channels of mine workings and buildings with increased explosion hazard will lead to weakening of the shock wave and reduction of its destructive effect.
