MAIN RESEARCH TASKS
The direction of the scientific research is in compliance with the priority areas of fundamental and applied scientific research in the Republic of Belarus for 2011-2015, specified by the executive order of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus No 585 of April 19, 2010 in the following paragraphs:
- 1.2: safety of nuclear power engineering at all stages of fuel cycle and the radioactive waste management;
- 5.1: methods of mathematical and computer modeling, computer technologies and intelligent decision support systems;
- 8.8: new inorganic and composite materials to be used in road building and in residential and industrial construction; techniques and tools for measuring properties of building materials;
- 8.9: physical and mathematical modeling, control and diagnosis of welding processes, as well as deformation and stresses in welded structures;
- 12.1: physical and mathematical methods and their application for solving urgent problems of natural science, engineering, new technologies, economics and social sciences.
The objectives of the research are as follows:
- expansion of areas of application with a view of creating highly reliable and durable engineering structures of the XXI century, that are in high demand not only in Belarus, but also in Russia and foreign countries;
- creation of highly reliable engineering barriers to ensure safety of underground nuclear power plants and radioactive waste (RW) storage facilities, including high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SNF), which guarantee a sufficient level of security of such enterprises in case of accidents;
- synthesis of several constructive ideas of bearing elements in future engineering structures for various branches of engineering (buoyant, underwater, bottom, ultra-high and underground facilities of the XXI century): latest solutions for joints along the contour of mounting blocks made from composite elements, reinforced concrete and steel reinforced concrete tubing and honeycomb structures, newly bored piles, ice guards of bridges, reservoirs, including toroidal ones, with a volume of 50-100 thousand cubic meters, etc.
MAIN RESEARCH FINDINGS AND COMMERCIAL OFFERS
The scientific basis was developed for creating a new type of welded structures made from composite bearing elements.
A fundamentally new innovative technology is offered to create multi-purpose modern structures for a variety of industries, which is in compliance with one of the key directions of modernization and technological development of the economy of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation. The basis of this technology is formed by CBEBS protected by several patents, received by the Belarusian-Russian University.
The use of composite bearing elements in welded structures for various applications is substantiated by the fact that the technical and economic efficiency of a structure made from composite bearing elements increases with the increase of its specific metal content. Application of composite bearing elements in the construction of bridges and overpasses, as well as in reservoir production, is highly promising.
New scientifically grounded results determined the conditions for inseparable adhesion between concrete filling and reinforcement of composite bearing elements made from structural steel. Also, the methods were developed which predict strength of welded joints of structures and check continuity of adhesion between concrete and metal reinforcement of composite bearing elements during fabrication of welded joints at the assembly stage. The parametric equation was obtained which relates the geometric dimensions of protective elements that eliminate heating of concrete above the allowable temperature to the welding parameters during assembly, the maximum continuity of concrete filling being achieved.
The Belarusian-Russian University provides a customer with the technical documentation on CBEBS based on patents No 4082 (RB), No 2181406 (RF), No 4352 (RB) in accordance with the terms of license agreements for the right to use patents. We also design and calculate structural elements produced with CBEBS and assembly elements of transport modules and provide scientific and technical support in R&D.
Moscow State University of Railway Engineering (MIIT) performs expert appraisal of projects and renders scientific and methodological support for the project development.
JSC Mostostroy (Minsk) carries out project work in compliance with agreements and follows up construction and assembly operations.
Protos Companies Group Holding manufactures building units on their own production premises.
