Mathematic modeling of the state of a thin round disk being heat and force affected is performed. In the central part of the disk the homogeneous field of temperatures is formed. Within the deformation theory of a perfect elasto-plastic solid the quadratic plasticity condition is chosen. The relationships between the radius of the disk, the temperature of the central part of the disk and the external pressure which defines the appearance of plastic zones have been established. For different values of external parameters of the model the stress vector hodograph and the plots of stresses and equivalent stresses have been introduced.

The composition of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete using Portland cement, stone crushing waste, volcanic ash and basalt fiber are considered. It was revealed that with an increase in the ash content in cement, the compressive and flexural strength of fine-grained concrete decreases, and the water absorption increases. Without a significant reduction in the properties of fine concrete, you can enter no more than 10% of volcanic ash.It has been established that with an increase in the content of large fractions of aggregate, the compressive and flexural strength of fine-grained concrete increases as a result of a more compact arrangement of sand grains. The increase in the content of fine sand fractions reduces the strength characteristics of concrete, and increases water absorption. The dependence of the properties of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete on the method of mixing the mixture and molding products

The article deals with the existing problems in our country, arising in the management of material resources in the process of construction of buildings and structures. The main problem in the material resources management system is that due to their late and incomplete delivery to the construction projects, there are significant downtime of working and construction machines and mechanisms. The don state technical University (DSTU) is developing an intelligent construction management system, which includes a method of planning and accounting for the movement of material resources to ensure synchronization of the processes of construction and installation works and their complete supply. The use of this technique allows to optimize the timing and volumes of supplies of material resources in accordance with a given technology of production operations and the simultaneous control of their inventory in the onsite warehouse

The purpose of the study is to develop a software – oriented algorithm for calculating flat rod systems with variable length modulus of elasticity. The object of study – a flat rod system, located in a single load, the elements of which are interfaced at the nodes rigidly or pivotally; the shape of the axes and the conditions of the support are set. A special finite element is developed on the basis of the finite element method in the form of a mixed method. To calculate the elements of the response matrix and the vector of freight coefficients, a numerical integration procedure is used. Examples of calculation of cantilever rods in two variants are given: with a variable length modulus of elasticity; and a rod having three, five and seven sections along the length made of different materials. The comparison with the results of other authors is given. A flat frame of four finite elements with variable modulus of elasticity is calculated. The results of solving the examples indicate the correct operation of the proposed algorithm. It is shown that the parameters of the stress-strain state of the structure can be adjusted by changing the properties of the material.

The problem of formalizing the elastic line of a thin steel strip of great flexibility arose in the process of creating elastic elements with a nonlinear characteristic for use in various kinds of damping devices. Such elastic rods experience large displacements when the material operates within the elastic range, in particular when axial loading in the supercritical region, when the axial load exceeds the Euler force, but in the subcritical region the movements are not significant enough to obtain a regressive-progressive characteristic.The paper investigates the possibilities of softening the elastic characteristics under axial loading in the initial period by applying a rigid cantilever arm mounted on the end of the elastic rod with a vertical load applied to it. Simultaneously, the influence of the vertical force on the elastic characteristic of the circular trajectory is investigated. To formalize the stress-strain state of a thin steel plate of great flexibility, the method of elliptic parameters is applied. The resulting elastic characteristic actually has a regressive-progressive character. The results obtained using the ANSYS computation complex for a system with given geometric parameters correlate quite well with the theoretical dependences derived. It follows from the diagram that the eccentric compression of the elastic element forms a regressive part of the elastic characteristic, and the circular trajectory of the point of application of the vertical force forms a progressive section.

An approach is proposed to determine the expected profitability level of production in making strategic decisions on stabilization and development of construction production at the enterprise. The prediction of achieving the profitability level (profit rate) at realization of new enterprise products is made using probabilistic methods. It is assumed that the actual profit rate is a random variable which is approximated by the standard β distribution, ie, the distribution of mathematical statistics for random variables limited on both sides by the maximum and minimum values of production. In the calculations are taken optimistic and pessimistic estimates of the rates of profit from the sale of construction products. Using the formula for calculating the mathematical expectation of the random variable that is characterized by the β distribution, we performed the forecast of profitability for the planned construction products that are new for the enterprise - three types of cottages with different technical parameters and comfort. The experts (specialists of construction organizations involved in manufacturing similar products) gave optimistic and pessimistic estimates of the expected rate of profit from the sale of cottages. The resulting expected profit rate was compared with the industry average territorial regulations and maximum value of risk assessment of not receiving the expected profit (a coefficient of variation). The calculated values allowed to make positive decisions on the construction and implementation of the selected types of cottages.

Defined technical conditions of pelletization flotation potassium chloride using pulp and paper industry’s waste as binder provide product with good commercial qualities, which are yield of marketable fraction (85.71 %) and resistance of granule (29.51 N). The researches for studying conditions of baking were conducted and subsisted defects on granule surfaces. There are two kinds of defects. One of them is inner defect is represented as caverns and flaws. Another type of defects are outer defects. They are represented as crystallized structural arrangements in the form of coreless tube that has net structure and includes fiber and cubic shaped microcrystals. Granule defects form after baking them with temperature higher than 120ºC.
