Reuse of concrete and brick scrap as aggregates

The use of industrial waste as concrete aggregates solves the problem of recycling these wastes and simultaneously reduces the volume of natural stone materials extraction and, consequently, decreases the environment load associated with their extraction. The special military operation caused a large amount of concrete and brick scrap from the emergency buildings demolition. To substantiate the possibility of recycling the mentioned construction wastes by means of their application as concrete aggregates, the authors have reviewed research works in this area, made a plan of the experiment, determined physical and mechanical characteristics of rubble from the studied materials and cement concrete on its basis. The results of the experiment have been analyzed and conclusions about possibility to use concrete and bricks scrap as aggregates in concrete have been formulated

Improving vehicle adaptability to the operating conditions of "smart" cities in the northern regions

The paper reviews a relevant problem of providing a higher quality of people’s living in the northern regions by the application of the modern technologies within transport in order to improve its environmental performance and efficiency. The aim of the research is to substantiate methods of increasing the adaptability of vehicles to variable low-temperature operating conditions based on a neural control system of preheating and maintaining the optimum temperature of technological fluids by SHF radiation and improving diesel fuel properties by introducing a multifunctional additive. It has been found that SHF radiation influences the physical and chemical parameters of diesel fuel, as well as the engine output parameters. SHF radiation results in a reduction of fuel consumption to 7%, smoke from the exhaust to 15%, and nitrogen oxide emission to 30%. A conclusion is made that using SHF radiation for technological fuel preheating is essential. An approach has been developed that improves low-temperature properties of diesel fuels and increases engine operation efficiency under severe climatic conditions by introducing a multifunctional additive. The additive will enable a significant decrease in fuel consumption under low-temperature operating conditions and a complex improvement of fuel properties
