        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Widespread implementation of enclosing structures with high thermal properties into modern construction entails the need to assess their humidity regime. Theoretical bases and methods of temperature-humidity calculation in enclosing structures are reflected in numerous domestic and foreign publications. However, data systematization on mathematical models of moisture transfer is currently not available, which makes it urgent to determine development vector of the theory and methods of moisture transfer calculation in enclosing structures. The purpose of the study is analytical review of the current focus of work in the field of methodology of temperature-humidity conditions in enclosing structures in Russia and abroad. General scientific methods of historical retrospective and comparative analysis were being used. Archival scientific sources and documents from 1925 to 2019 have been studied. The search and selection of relevant literature on the bases of effective criteria for selection of sources was carried out. The thematic analysis of calculation methods in terms of physical processes of moisture movement, potentials and transport equations was undertaken. The advantages of moisture transfer mathematical models based on the theory of moisture potential are shown. Application of the theory of moisture potential can greatly simplify the mathematical model of moisture transfer and expand the scope of application of the model on excess sorption humidity area of materials’ moisture in enclosing structures. It is established that methods of calculating temperature-humidity regime in enclosing structures are widely used in international practice for solving specific applied tasks of construction thermal physics, but a comprehensive theory of moisture transfer in enclosing structures has not yet been developed. The study has proved that the development of the theory and methods of temperature-humidity calculation in enclosing structures is relevant and promising.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">Currently one of the most actual transportation problems in Saint Petersburg is the insufficient stability of pavement in conditions of high humidity. Strengthening the road embankments is able to solve this problem and increase the service life of the whole structure. So that, an optimal choice of necessary method of protection is an important task. The purpose is to study different methods of strengthening, to consider the specific technical characteristics of each of them and finally, to find the optimal one. The study showed review of the main methods to support subgrade slopes of existing roads. The schemes of used structures are demonstrated. Geodesic measurements of vertical precipitation were carried out on one of the sections of the federal highway "Scandinavia". Based on the calculations, diagrams were constructed and the most reliable method is identified.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Currently, energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal of buildings are among the most important indicators in the construction of buildings and structures. Hinged facade systems (HFS) are becoming increasingly relevant both in the construction of buildings and their reconstruction. Their use allows, on the one hand, to "dress" the facade in modern finishing materials, and on the other – to improve the thermal insulation performance of the enclosure structure and protect it from harmful atmospheric effects. The widespread use of such modern facade structures as HFS, requires increased attention to the quality of their design. Firstly, this is due to the need to combine the bearing, enclosing, insulating and aesthetic qualities. One of the design issues of the HFS is to take into account such a factor as the effect of fastining the cladding to the load-bearing substructure on the static calculation of the frame (guide profiles, brackets, fastening units of the cladding to the guide profile, etc.). This article discusses the design features of the HFS, their advantages and disadvantages, a detailed classification, as well as the types of large-format HFS cladding and methods of their attachment to the load-bearing frame. On the basis of knowledge about the types of cladding and its fastening designer can develop a design scheme for a load-bearing frame, and further, to execute the calculation. At the moment, the calculation of the guide profiles is performed according to a certain scheme, regardless of the type of cladding, that is calculation is considered with invalid simplifications. The authors of this article in their work prove that it is necessary to classify different types of HSF depending on the method of transfer of the load ща cladding on the substructure in order to build a design scheme and make a calculation based on what type of HSF refers to. The purpose of this article is to classify the HFS on various grounds, proof of the impact of the type of cladding on the design scheme of the load-bearing frame and, accordingly, on the calculation itself.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">This article examines domestically produced supports made of composite materials. In the modern world the use of composite polymeric materials is distributed due to their advantages over other kinds of materials. Nowadays composites are being actively used as material for outdoor lighting supports which are assembled along roads and railways, on private property and in the facilities designed for recreation and sports. In this regard, there are many companies on the domestic market which are ready to offer production of such supports of outdoor lighting. Since development and assemblage of such supports is indeed a fast-moving sector, there are a lot of firms on domestic market which are ready to offer their services. The study builds on the method of comparison of products offered by producers by the following aspects: materials, winding technique, basic physico-mechanical properties, the useful life and cost. All three companies use the same fiber composite, which is fiberglass, as a reinforcing fiber. However, the companies choose different binding agent and method for winding. Therefore, the considered supports have different physico-mechanical properties, the useful life and cost. The results of the study show us that serial composite supports, manufactured by the three considered companies, have different interesting engineering solutions which are being successfully implemented on objects under construction in different climate zones of Russian Federation. Every support has its advantages and disadvantages. The results are of high scientific importance. More and more ways of engineering supports of outdoor lighting are being figured out at present in order to increase their strength and useful life and improve resilience against environmental conditions.</abstract>
