Ukraine's transition to an energy-efficient economy as part of its overall transformation to EU standards is a difficult but crucial challenge. The country's post-war recovery will involve modernizing the entire infrastructure in line with EU sustainable development standards.
The need for strengthening of existing structures has recently become topical. Composite materials due to their remarkable properties, possibility to adaptation to the design requirements and facilitation of restoration measures are widely used for strengthening. This article is focused on review of restoration approaches with the use of composite materials and specific features of their behavior under various impacts. Study includes analysis of recent studies in the area, identifying gaps of knowledge and perspectives for further research.
The main structures of modern buildings are using a RC constructions. Timely work on strengthening and restoration of building structures is very important in practice. There are many accumulations with many different ways and constructive methods of strengthening RC constructions in different conditions of application. This article describes the modern methods and innovative materials for the strengthening and repairing of RC structures.
The contact non-equilibrium low-temperature plasma technique is used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent. Influences of PVP concentration on the formation efficiency of silver nanoparticle, their average size and stability have been studied. The synthesized silver nanoparticles had a significant antibacterial activity against two strains of Gram bacteria. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-alginate composite beads with different PVP concentration were synthesized as materials for water purification.
The properties of the filled polymer compositions largely depend on the nature and surface properties of the fillers- basalt fiber. The possibility of modifying the surface of the basalt fiber with commercial polyhexamethyleneguanidinehydrochloride and non-commercial polydiethyleneaminoguanidine - appretes, were demonstrated for the first time.
The main aim of this study is to predict the elastic and damping properties of composite laminated plates. Some approximate methods for the stress state predictions for laminated plates are presented. For simple uniform bending and transverse loading conditions, this problem has an exact elasticity solution. This paper presents a new stress analysis method for the accurate determination of the detailed stress distributions in laminated plates subjected to cylindrical bending.
This study aims to predict the sound transmission properties of composite layered plates structures in the lower frequency range. In present paper a novel procedure to derive the sound isolation parameters for layered plates is under discussion. This paper presents a new stress analysis method for the accurate determination of the detailed stress distributions in laminated plates subjected to cylindrical bending. Some approximate methods for the stress state predictions for laminated plates are presented here.
The paper is devoted to the investigation of efficiency of reinforced concrete column strengthening using pultruded carbon fiber plates.
The influence of model biological medium on the properties and structure of epoxy-polyurethane (EPU) ferrocene compositions has been investigated by physical-mechanical IR-spectroscopic and X-ray methods. It has been established that the EPU compositions biodegrade most intensively after 1 month of incubation, accompanied by a decline in strength at 80–92 % break.
