Statement of the problem. The paper is devoted to the experimental identification of damping for such materials as butadiene rubber (BR) and cis-butadiene low-molecular weight rubber (SKDN-N) based concrete and fiber-reinforced rubber concrete by means of the Impulse Excitation Technique (IET). Results. It was found that BR based concrete with or without fiber-reinforcement shows more obvious viscoelastic properties than the corresponding materials based on SKDN-N rubber. The addition of steel fiber reduces internal friction in the material, while propylene fiber has the opposite effect. This is due to the fact that the fibrous propylene acts as an additional damping material, which enhances energy dissipation under dynamic loading.Conclusion. The internal friction in the rubber concrete and fiber-reinforced rubber concrete was measured for the first time. The obtained data are the additional microstructural characteristics of polymer concrete, which describes its viscosity. The real values of the investigated quantities have been determined, which makes it possible to use the models with fractional derivatives in the calculations of building structures made of rubber concrete and fiber-reinforced rubber concrete for dynamic loads, taking into account the phenomenon of viscoelasticity.

Постановка задачи. Работа посвящена экспериментальному определению внутреннего трения в таких материалах, как каучуковые бетоны (каутоны) на основе низкомолекулярного полибутадиенового каучука смешанной микроструктуры марки ПБН и цис-полибутадиенового низкомолекулярного каучука марки СКДН-Н, с помощью метода импульсного воздействия. Результаты. Установлено, что каутон на основе каучука марки ПБН обладает более выраженными вязкоупругими свойствами по сравнению с аналогичным материалом на основе каучука марки СКДН-Н. Введение стальной фибры снижает внутреннее трение в материале, в то время как полимерная фибра дает обратный эффект. Это связано с тем, что волокнистая пропиленовая фибра служит дополнительным демпфирующим материалом, усиливающим диссипацию энергии при динамическом нагружении. Выводы. Впервые измерено внутреннее трение для каутона и фиброкаутона. Полученные данные являются дополнительными микроструктурными характеристиками материалов, описывающими их вязкость. Определены реальные значения исследуемых величин, которые позволяют применять модели с дробными производными при расчете строительных конструкций из каутона и фиброкаутона на динамические воздействия с учетом явления вязкоупругости.

Development of manufacture of linear diene oligomers belonging to a liquid rubbers class with viscous liquids consistence allowed to create a new class of conglomerate polymer composite materials - rubber concrete (RubCon®). Rubber concrete is the advanced constructional material created for last years. It is polymer concrete with a unique set of physical-mechanical, chemical and technological properties which allow to obtain highly effective building structures and products on its basis.

In this study, the influence of the addition of styrene-butadiene rubber on the dynamic properties of polymer concrete was investigated. A 10% volume addition of styrene-butadiene rubber granulate with three different grain gradations was used for the tests. The modal study was carried out in the 0 to 2000 Hz frequency range. The response function for a single impulse excitation was tested. The relaxation time after excitation, the modes of natural vibrations and the amplitude of the transfer function values as well as vibration damping ratios were also compared. Finally, conclusions were formulated regarding the application of the styrene-butadiene rubber additive as a material to improve the dynamic properties of polymer concrete. The best results were obtained for a sample made with a 10% styrene-butadiene rubber volume addition with grain sizes from 0.6 to 2 mm. In this case, the biggest decrease of the amplitude of the transfer function value was 76%, while the biggest increase of the damping ratio was 431.5%, in comparison with the clear polymer concrete sample. The worst results were obtained for a sample made with a 10% styrene-butadiene rubber volume addition with grain sizes from 2.5 to 6 mm. In this case, the longest relaxation time of the sample, the increase of the amplitude of the transfer function value and the decrease in the damping coefficient were recorded.

A new form of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete composite beam is proposed in this study. The proposed composite beam consists of a GFRP box beam combined with a thin layer of concrete in the compression zone. The interaction between the GFRP beam and the concrete was obtained by bonding coarse-sand on the top flange of the GFRP beam. One GFRP box beam and one GFRP-concrete composite beam were investigated in four-point bending test. Load-deflection response, mid-span longitudinal strain distributions and interface slip between GFRP beam and the concrete for the proposed composite beam were studied. Following conclusions are drawn from this study: (1) the stiffness and strength of the composite beam has been significantly increased, and the cost-to-stiffness ratio of the composite beam has been drastically reduced comparing with GFRP-only box beam; (2) a good composite action has been achieved between the GFRP beam and the concrete; (3) crushing of concrete in compression defines flexural collapse of the proposed composite beam..

The emergence of the specialty of civil engineer in the first half of the 19th century had a significant impact on architectural practice in St. Petersburg. The differentiation of the professions of engineer and architect took place for the first time; both specialists began to participate in the design. The appearance of such engineers as Augustine Betancourt, Matvey Clark, Pierre-Dominique Bazin and Wilhelm von Tretter brought about changes in all areas of architecture and construction. New building structures and materials appeared, as well as methods for checking and calculating. Designing has become comprehensive, the activities of the Committee for Structures and Hydraulic Works led by Betancourt covered urban development, individual buildings and all types of utilities. The formation of engineering education took place, which brought up the next generation of Russian engineers.The article considers the most important aspects of the activities of Augustine Betancourt, who laid the foundations for engineering education in Russia; Matvey Clark, who created the first metal beams and trusses; Pierre Dominique Bazin, who continued the development of engineering education, as well as Wilhelm von Tretter, one of the founders of iron bridge construction in Russia.

This study investigates an adaptive-weighted instanced-based learning, for the prediction of the ultimate punching shear capacity (UPSC) of fiber-reinforced polymer- (FRP-) reinforced slabs. The concept of the new method is to employ the Differential Evolution to construct an adaptive instance-based regression model. The performance of the proposed model is compared to those of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and traditional formula-based methods. A dataset which contains the testing results of FRP-reinforced concrete slabs has been collected to establish and verify new approach. This study shows that the investigated instance-based regression model is capable of delivering the prediction result which is far more accurate than traditional formulas and very competitive with the black-box approach of ANN. Furthermore, the proposed adaptive-weighted instanced-based learning provides a means for quantifying the relevancy of each factor used for the prediction of UPSC of FRP-reinforced slabs.
