Currently, the problem of assigning snow loads to the roofs of buildings and structures remains relevant, since cases of roof collapses in winter are still recorded annually, including those in the Russian Federation. A circus building with the roof in the form of a suspended reinforced concrete shell was chosen as the object of study. Methods: The design diagram for this type of roof is contained in SP 20.13330.2016; the snow load distribution diagrams for this roof were adopted according to Appendix B to SP 20.13330.2016. The author considered several options of snow load distribution and chose the most unfavorable one, when an increased value of the snow load is observed on one half of the roofing. During one winter period, field measurements of the thickness of the snow cover were carried out at the site. Results:It was established that in general, with the exception of local zones, the actual distribution of snow cover coincides with the adopted design solution, while the actual value of the weight of the snow cover for the current winter season was significantly lower than the calculated one. Discussion: The obtained result demonstrates that when developing design solutions for certain types of suspended roofing, it is permissible, without conducting specialized experimental studies, to use the data given in the scientific and technical literature, based on the results of monitoring the thickness of the snow cover on the roofing of the building.","PeriodicalId":52295,"journal":{"name":"Architecture and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, in Albania, energy performance evaluation is mandatory for newly constructed buildings, but there are no approaches that would address the existing building stock. Methods: The goal of this study is to evaluate apartment buildings of the communist period in Tirana and Shkodra and apply a number of passive and active retrofit strategies, which are appropriate in the Mediterranean climate conditions. Results and Discussion: Improvement of thermal conductivity and energy balance can be achieved through the additional insulation of the buildings’ walls and roofs and window replacement, installation of photovoltaic panels and energy-efficient lighting. The application of passive strategies reduces energy losses in Tirana by 56% and in Shkodra— by 57%. Conclusions: Installation of photovoltaic panels can meet cooling and lighting demands during the warm period; however, their contribution during the wintertime is insufficient to satisfy heating demands.","PeriodicalId":52295,"journal":{"name":"Architecture and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135297658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We utilized the spatial syntax technique to analyze the stages of city development, which is based on modeling city maps into axial maps and quantitatively measuring various factors such as connectivity and integration (Rn). Results: We obtained significant results notably that the historical city center still maintains its importance in terms of easy access, interconnected axes, and chess layout that facilitated its expansion. Additionally, residential neighborhoods, isolated from the rest of the city, emerged at certain periods.

Therefore, preservation of architectural monuments is one of the most important areas of restoration activity. Complete replacement of damaged building materials of architectural monuments changes the historical appearance, and thus cultural sites are stripped of their original look. Innovations in the re-creation of historical building materials and technologies help preserve historical continuity. The purpose of the study was to develop a number of compounds of terrazzite plaster mixtures for cultural heritage sites of the 20th century, which, from an aesthetic point of view, will not allow the loss of the natural and picturesque appearance of the monument, and will be able to preserve the “patina of time”. As a result of the research, the authors studied the compositions of the selected samples, proposed restoration compounds of terrazzite plaster, and determined the algorithm for applying an analogue of the historical plaster. In terms of technical and economic indicators, the developed restoration compounds are effective and make it possible to return architectural monuments to their original appearance with minimal costs. Based on the results obtained, conclusions were drawn about the feasibility of using the proposed new components in terrazzite plaster mixtures to increase strength and ensure high-quality adhesion of the old and new plaster layers. The proposed technology contributes to the return of architectural monuments to their original appearance without losing the historical authenticity of the buildings.","PeriodicalId":52295,"journal":{"name":"Architecture and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135296833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of composite materials is considered with account for the shifts of paradigms based on the basic models of the continuous self-developing environment towards paradigms based on the models of the structured self-developing environment using the ideas and methods of the system approach and synergetics. The system approach can: reduce or even eliminate the uncertainty inherent to the problem to be solved; reconstruct it in models meeting the objectives of the study; identify objects, properties, and relationships in the system under consideration, taking into account the mutual influence of the external environment. Methods. It is shown that the structural organization of the material determines the design of the product or structure and largely determines the functional properties of the entire system. Composite materials are considered as large, complex systems formed based on a modular principle; material properties are determined on the basis of autonomous studies of individual subsystems. Results. It is assumed that individual subsystems have a certain degree of autonomy; it is possible to introduce customizable reference models with the simultaneous decentralization of modules by inputs; the conditions for transferring the results of autonomous studies to the system as a whole are determined by the completeness of understanding the processes of the formation of the structure and properties of the system. In the development of composites, the relative importance, the mutual utility of the quality criteria, a reasonable balance between the internal logic of science and its practical significance are taken into account. Partial criteria are analyzed, and a generalized quality criterion for the building material is formalized. The following is considered: the complexity of the object of study (multi-dimensionality, multi-connectedness, incompleteness of diagnostic information), diagnostic interpretation of the analyzed factors, the probabilistic nature of diagnostic information (using methods of both concrete and abstract-logical cognition; each new logical stage continues the previous one and serves as a prerequisite for the previous one).","PeriodicalId":52295,"journal":{"name":"Architecture and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42866850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Load rates are one of the main factors affecting the assessment of the reliability of building structures. All loads are probabilistic in nature, but short-term loads are the most representative in terms of this study since they have the most stochastic nature compared to other types of loads. According to regulatory documents, the short-term loads on a building should be summarized based on their base return period — 50 years. Due to variety of design situations, it is impossible to optimally standardize calculation methods for all types of buildings, therefore, the return period of 50 years is taken for all types of buildings regardless of their required useful life, which in some cases may lead to an excessive safety margin. Methods. To summarize loads on the structural schemes of buildings, two methods are used: deterministic, which is based only on data from regulatory documents, and probabilistic, which takes into account the probabilistic nature of the origin of loads. Reliability is assessed by the limit state method and Rzhanitsyn method. Results. In a number of cases, the use of the probabilistic method when summarizing loads makes it possible to reduce the stiffness properties of sections by equating the period of return of probabilistic loads to the required useful life of the building. Thus, reliability is guaranteed not for 50 years (as in the deterministic method) but for the useful life of a building, and, as a result, the reliability of building structures is not reduced during the entire set period of their operation. This method made it possible to reduce the total weight of the frame of an industrial building by 3 %, and that of a small-sized building — by 27 %, which indicates a more rational application of the proposed method to small-sized building schemes, since in large schemes the gains from the reduced material consumption in structures will be neutralized by the consequences of their failure and the cost of equipment inside the building.","PeriodicalId":52295,"journal":{"name":"Architecture and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49415425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
