This article considers the problems of obtaining construction products in winter, along with complex technological processes, in the light of scientific achievements and analysis of influencing factors when solving thermophysical problems, as well as evaluating the results on production indicators, especially those related to economics. The accumulated domestic and foreign experience reflects years of intensive work carried out by scientists and engineers, which continues to this day. In Eastern Siberia and neighbouring regions characterised by a prolonged winter period, construction works are carried out all year round. Special attention should be paid to planning construction activities in winter and developing working documentation in view of the seasonality of work. The material and technical resources of the construction contractor should be taken into account, mainly the feasibility of the operational plans for construction and installation activities and the financing schedule. The paper includes examples of winter construction demonstrating the existing limitations, in particular the increased energy consumption. Some recommendations are given aimed at improving the quality of project documentation.
During the long-term operation of buildings, damage is accumulated in structural elements leading to violations of strength bonds, especially during seismic impacts. Therefore, for buildings and structures located in areas having high seismic activity, periodic monitoring of the technical condition of buildings is recommended. Given the dependence of dynamic characteristics on the integral strength properties of structures, monitoring should be based on a study of the dynamic characteristics of building structures. The present studies were carried out using a microdynamic method based on a determination of the transfer functions between vibrations at the nodal points of the structure and microseismic noise measured at the building base. The actual mechanical properties of the supporting structures take into account the spatial work of the building as a whole under the action of loads. Affecting any design, earth-quakes are acknowledged to result in vibration effects leading to structural instability including base soils. The direction of mechanical impact development during an earthquake must also be taken into account. The paper presents the results of dynamic response studies into microseismic effects affecting an 8-storey frame building. The initial natural frequencies and modes of vibration are determined along with the damping constants to form a basis for the monitoring of the changes in the technical condition of the building following a given period of operation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
