Purpose. The development of construction of underground excavations of the Dnipro Metro requires analysis and scientific substantiation of design solutions based on technologies that are new for Ukraine. The aim of the scientific article is to analyze the combined design of the shaft of the Dnipro Metro by the finite element method with determination of force factors in the linings of the pile system and shotcrete system with further substantiation based on the results of design solutions to the real situation of Dnipro Metro construction. Methodology. Two finite element models were constructed for the analysis of the shaft № 1 of the Dnipro Metro by the finite element method. They reflect the combined design of the shaft, which consists of two parts. The finite-element model of the pile system, which reflects the shell of bored piles, supported by a cap beam and ring beams, is analyzed separately. The model for the shotcrete system, which is used for the second part of the shaft, which lies in a solid rock mass, is separately modeled and analyzed. Finite-element models of both systems are assigned real deformation and geometric parameters, as well as the load, which became the key to adequate calculations by the finite element method. Findings. During the numerical analysis of the combined structure of the shaft № 1 of Dnipro Metro, the force factors (normal forces and bending moments) for the pile system and the shotcrete system were determined. These results became the basis for the reinforcement of both systems. Originality. A numerical analysis of the shaft structure was performed, which provided a complete picture of the force factors that allow predicting the appearance of normal forces and bending moments in similar engineering and geological conditions. Practical value. The results of the analysis of the combined design of the shaft of the Dnipro Metro by the finite element method allowed to scientifically substantiate the design solutions and ensure high performance of both shaft systems № 1.

Purpose. The transition to environmentally friendly, waste-free technologies is a priority for most countries in the world. The metallurgical and construction industries make a significant contribution to the formation of large volumes of man-made waste. During the production of ferroalloys, waste is generated in the form of sludge, which is stored in sludge collectors. Sludge storage has been going on for over 25 years. In order to study the effect of the duration of storage of sludge on its properties in the compositions of dry building mixtures on a cement basis, a comparison was made of the efficiency of using sludge with different storage periods. The influence of sludge of various storage periods on the strength of dry construction is estimated. Methodology. The studies were carried out in accordance with the standard methods for determining the physical and mechanical properties of solutions from dry mixtures for the installation of self-leveling floors, specified in DSTU B V. 2.7-126: 2011 “Sludge awesome dry modified. General technical minds”. Sludge from wet gas cleaning of ferrosilicon production is stored in dumps where it is a mixture of lumps of various fractions 5…50 mm in size. To use sludge in the composition of dry building mixtures, it must be dried and crushed on a roller crusher and on a disintegrator. Findings. The best ratio of the "age" of the sludge and its percentage in the composition of the mixture was determined to increase the strength characteristics of the cement stone. Originality. The influence of the chemical nature of sludge from wet gas purifiers of ferrosilicon production on the hydration processes and strength of cement stone is analyzed. Practical value. The use of man-made waste in the formulations of dry building mixtures helps to simultaneously reduce the harmful effect on the environment of industrial enterprises and increase the mechanical and economic characteristics of cement mortars based on dry mixtures.

Purpose. On the basis of the comparative analysis to carry out a substantiation of the most expedient and rational way of strengthening of a weak massif during a construction of Dnipro metro escalator tunnels by NATM. Methodology. To achieve this goal, an analysis of construction technologies in weak soils was conducted. The most used technologies are Forepoling Umbrella System (FUS), artificial ground freezing and chemical cementation. The peculiarities of carrying out each of the technologies for the conditions of inclined production were analyzed. It is determined how each of the technologies is applied to escalator tunnels and implements the strengthening of weak soil. Findings. The advantages and disadvantages of three technologies for fixing weak soil around the escalator tunnel are identified. Based on comparative analysis, it was found that the only technology that provides increased strength parameters of loamy soils, characteristic for the upper part of the escalator tunnel of the Dnipro metro, is the technology of chemical strengthening (cementation). In some cases, if necessary, short sections of sloping course, characterized by particularly weak soil, can be supported by several pipes, without creating a continuous leading mount. The results of the analysis are the basis for further substantiation of cementation, which creates a multilayer system "reinforced soil massif – temporary fastening – permanent lining". Originality. Based on the results of comparative analysis of three technologies for escalator tunnel construction by NATM, it is proved that the use of cementation not only increases the strength of the soil during drilling, but also further in operation serves as an additional element of the multilayer system "reinforced soil massif – temporary fastening – permanent lining". Practical value. In the course of research, the substantiation of cementation as the most rational and effective technology of strengthening of the surrounding weak massif at construction of the Dnipro metro was carried out.

Purpose. On the railways of Ukraine in some areas there is an intensive premature exit sleepers due to the formation of defects that can affect the safety of trains and cause significant material losses due to a single replacement of a significant number of sleepers. The purpose of the study is to establish the causes of damage reinforced concrete sleepers on a characteristic section of the railway with their intense premature exit. Methodology. The condition of reinforced concrete sleepers of SB3 type under unlined substrate fastenings on 324-332 km of the pair track of the Odnorobivka-Bukine section of the Southern Railway was studied, where since 2007 their intensive output was observed due to defects. Findings. It is established that for 15 years of operation, as 236.3 million tons were put into operation, about 2.8 % of sleepers were replaced due to defects (44 pieces per 1 km of track). Typical defects (damages), due to which the sleepers were removed from the track, were mainly 13.2 and 13.2 according to the classification of CP-0150 – cracks and fractures of sleepers, including ones with crushing concrete. These defects were preceded by the formation of a network of thin cracks on the visible surfaces of sleepers. 3 sleepers with an initial compressive strength of 68…77 MPa produced by the Korosten Reinforced Concrete Sleeper Plant and the Gnivan Special Reinforced Concrete Plant, removed from the track due to characteristic defects, were selected and investigated. Samples were selected from the sleepers, with the help of which there was determined the final strength of concrete and microscopic examinations, including luminescence flaw detection method, were performed. It was found that the network of cracks in sleepers is spatial, mostly developed mostly beneath their top edge, the least developed above the bottom edge, and causes a decrease in compressive strength of concrete by 47…72 %. It is noted that the destruction of concrete during loading occurred behind these cracks. On the inner surfaces of the cracks there are individual grains of aggregates, which have signs of active silica content, that together with the nature of the cracks may indicate that the cause of their formation is corrosion of concrete from the interaction of cement alkali with reactive aggregates. On the surfaces of the cracks in the lower part of the sleepers leaching products were found, apparently leached by electro migration, which may indicate that corrosion processes were promoted by leakage currents on electrified DC tracks. Originality Thus, in the study area, the main cause of defects, which caused the replacement of the sleepers – was the corrosion of concrete due to the interaction of cement alkali with reactive aggregates, promoted by leakage currents, as well as a small diagram of sleepers and the use of unlined anchor intermediate rail fasteners. Practical value. The results of the study allow to establish the causes of cracks and other damage in reinforced concrete sleepers during operation and, in turn, reduce the losses of fasteners manufacturers and sleepers from defects and complaints, optimize the total cost of track repairs and subsequent track maintenance due to rational purpose of track construction, reduction of damage and replacement of sleepers during track operation.
