Analysis of the application of electric conducting concrete in the power
industry
- Authors: Alexander V. Agunov, Ilya A. Terekhin, Ivan A. Baranov
  Pages: 5 - 15
  Abstract: At present, on the territory of the Russian Federation, there is no massive use of electrically conductive reinforced concrete structures in the electric power industry due to insufficient operating experience and a low rate of research on electrically conductive concretes. The article compares the main characteristics of existing electrically conductive concrete. The paper shows the disadvantages of traditional concrete and existing electrically conductive concrete. The electrically conductive concrete was selected, the most suitable for further research, testing and direct modernization of the composition based on the results obtained. The main disadvantages of existing electrically conductive concretes are the high cost and specificity of electrically conductive components and other additives, as a consequence of the amount of capital investment in mass and large-scale production, as well as the lack of operating experience as overhead supports.

and transportation capacities of railway directions
- Authors: Vladimir A. Voronin, Peter V. Kurenkov, Irina A. Solop, Evgeniia A. Chebotareva
  Pages: 16 - 29
  Abstract: In the modern period, the railway industry faces the challenges of both intensifying the use of existing lines and developing new high-speed transport systems. The lack of capacity reserves for railway lines leads to the abandonment of freight trains, which in turn complicate the management of train traffic. Existing ways to increase throughput are divided into organizational and technical and reconstructive. Historically, the development of railway automation systems has contributed to changing the system of organizing train traffic, increasing the capacity of railway sections. The paper considers various technological and innovative solutions aimed at increasing the capacity and carrying capacity of railway lines, including an assessment of the effectiveness of using mobile block sections and virtual couplings in conditions of limited capacity of railway directions. To solve the problem of increasing the throughput of the investigated cargo-intensive direction of Kotelnikovo-Tikhoretskaya-Razezd 9 km of the North Caucasian Railway (NKR), the method of calculating the throughput was used, as a result of which options for its increase on the cargo-intensive section were proposed, ensuring high reliability of transportation, timely delivery and unloading cargo.

- Authors: Nikita A. Gugа, Gleb A. Averchenko, Kirill A. Vasilev, Vyacheslav A. Borisov, Alexey M. Ismailov
  Pages: 30 - 41
  Abstract: Repair and reconstruction is an integral part of the life cycle of such structures as: bridges, overpasses, aqueducts. Timely maintenance and repair of bridge structures contributes to the continuous improvement of their technical level, as well as to the operational state with increasing load and intensity over time on constantly under construction highways. This article presents the results of a study of the need to repair structures over time. The article contains a description of the types of work, as well as the terms when these works need to be performed, graphs of the volume and cost of work are given. As materials and initial data, the data of approximate turnaround periods of elements of bridge structures were taken, as well as a table of the frequency of repairs by year was compiled. Based on the collected data, graphs of the cost and changes in the volume of work were built over time. In addition, graphs of the cost of repairing individual elements of the structure are given in relation to the total cost of the structure. Based on the results obtained, recommendations are formulated for planning the repair of expatriated bridge structures by bridge maintenance departments. A set of measures is also proposed to eliminate existing violations and further operation of the bridge structure. A set of works for the repair of individual units and structures is recommended. Arguments are given for the need to share responsibilities between bridge operation departments during the repair of the structure.

- Authors: Angelina A. Trifonova, Sergey V. Alekseev, Alexey M. Yegoshin
  Pages: 42 - 54
  Abstract: At present, there are high requirements for materials and construction elements in civil engineering in common. These intentions are fully applicable to such bridge construction elements as expansion joints. The new developed models are needed, in which all the defects and limitations of the previous models are solved and the maximum of operational life is reached. The main types of bridge expansion joints: closed joints, filled-type joints, covered joints. In this article the construction features, advantages and disadvantages of the listed expansion joints are considered. On the basis of the gotten results it is seen that new and developed models of different types’ expansion joints have better rates in all of considered criteria. It means that these joints have bigger structural reliability and provide longer operational life of the construction. The most effective models of bridge expansion joints are: closed-type joints with metal support plate, filled-type joints with convex V-shaped compensator and covering slab, covered joints with finger slabs and flap hinged rods and springs.

Sergeeva in the segment of logistics of river and sea oil transportation. Results: it consists in improving the quality of solutions to problems in the transportation of liquid fuel by means of transport in multimodal communication based on the use of the developed method. The set of criteria considered in the method allows you to set and solve transport problems with almost no restrictions on complexity, which in each case allows you to get better results. Conclusion: Using the method in practice allows not only to objectively find the best solution from the considered ones, but also to study hypothetical transportation schemes with the possible construction of new tracks and their elements, and compare existing and new schemes by a set of criteria, including construction costs and payback time of new tracks, and as a result find the best solution to the task.

  Creation of a rotor-runner of a linear synchronous motor with an ironless stator with a power of 10 MW. Methods: outlines the main calculation methodologies: "analysis" and "synthesis". The "analysis" methodology is adopted in solving the "direct" calculation problem, when the configuration of the magnetic system is set and the magnetic field in the working area is calculated, and, if necessary, the stray magnetic fields. This methodology can be effectively applied if there is experience in creating magnetic systems. Otherwise, the "synthesis" methodology is applied, which is used in solving the "inverse" calculation problem, in which the picture of the distribution of the magnetic field in the working zone is set and the configuration of the magnetic system is found (synthesized). Results of the study performed:
  The parameters and characteristics of high-energy permanent magnets made of rare-earth metals, low-temperature and high-temperature superconducting winding materials have been analyzed, the choice of permanent magnets and superconducting winding material has been made;
  Calculations of the magnetic system of permanent magnets in the "Halbach assembly" and in the traditional assembly in a toothed ferromagnetic core have been carried out;
  Calculations of a track coil with a rectangular cross-section of the winding are performed;
  Methods for calculating and optimizing superconducting magnetic systems from a set of similar track modules have been developed; Conclusions: The results of the performed fundamental research will allow starting the calculation, design and construction of conveyor-main passenger and freight lines of maglev transport, as well as urban public transport.
