Analysis of the problems of sections with the transitional rigidity indicator in world bridging

Abstract: Purpose. To analyze the problem of areas with a transitional stiffness on the approaches to the bridges based on the experience of European and American bridge-building. To find out the root causes and methods for detecting track defects in transitional stiffness zones. To propose a pilot model for the development of transitional stiffness areas based on the experience of developed countries in Europe. Methodology. Collection of data on the causes and nature of the occurrence of bumps on approaches to bridges based on the experience of specialists in the design, construction and operation of railway and highway bridges. Analysis of methods of arrangement of transition areas on approaches to bridges in European countries. Results. An analysis of the literary sources of developed countries of the world on the problem of the origin and methods of detection of bumps in areas with transitional stiffness on the approaches of bridges was performed. The results were collected on ways to identify problems in areas with transient stiffness and how to solve them. A model for mathematical and experimental studies was proposed. Originality. Scientific interest is that, despite the extensive experience of developed countries of the world, the Ukrainian norms still do not have a clear mechanism for identifying and characterizing problems of track geometry in sections with transitional stiffness. Thus, studying the experience of more advanced countries in the field helps to con-sider the problem more clearly and standardize its definition. Practical value. If proposed model of reinforcement of transition stiffness areas will be confirmed it allows to reduce the cost of maintaining of the track and to solve the problems of the transitional areas at the stage of bridge construction, that is, before its immediate occurrence.

Experimental study of the thermochemical treatment of the low-grade coal prior to boiler combustion at coal-fired power station

Abstract: Analysis of the perspectives of the coal fuel for thermal power plants is carried out. The necessity of the experimental study for temperature measurement in the boiler furnace. The results of the experimental study are presented: temperature change over time at the burner outlet for different constant pressure value of the backlighting gas, dependence of the temperature at the burner outlet from the backlighting gas pressure for constant concentration value of pulverized coal in coal-air mixture, dependence of the temperature at the burner outlet from the concentration of pulverized coal in coal-air mixture for constant value of the backlighting gas pressure, temperature measurements for constant backlighting gas pressure value, constant value of the concentration of pulverized coal in coal-air mixture when plasmatron is switched and operates for some time range. The results of the study could be applied to the solid fuel treatment for different thermal units.

Interaction of soil-cement pile supporting structures with the body of a landslide

Abstract: Purpose. Analysis and comparison of the landslide slope finite element model calculation results of the appliance of soil-cement piles, depending on the variation of the retaining structure rigidity, makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of their application and the cooperative work of piles with the displacement body. It also makes it possible to make a conclusion about the advantages of using this anti-landslide protection method of the slope. Methodology. Analysis of geomorphological data obtained from the results of laboratory studies of soils on the slope section is considered. Creation of a three-dimensional finite-element slope model according to the constructed sections and depths of the soil layers. Calculation of the nonlinear problem of finite element modeling of the slope with applying of soil-cement piles of various rigidity. Findings. The obtained results of calculating the finite element model of the landslide slope, and the analysis of the stress-strain state of the construction with soil-cement piles has been carried out. Originality. Despite the widespread of using soil-cement piles as enclosing structures for the construction of foundation pits and reinforcement of foundations of emergency structures, special attention should be paid to the study of the expediency of using soil-cement retaining pile structures on landslide areas. Practical value. It is known that soil-cement retaining piles are expediently in use as a protective element, which interacts quite well with the ground environment due to its structure of the initial material. Using of modern computer programs of finite element modeling makes it possible to calculate the efficiency of the use of soil-cement piles and to determine the parameters of the necessary retaining structure according to the given geological structure of the slope, and also, depending on its shape and the physical characteristics of the soils, to compare the performance of different protective landslide structures types.

Improving the efficiency of energy recovery in the electric transport system with limited traction electricity consumption

Abstract: В работе выполнен анализ возможности регулирования напряжения на шинах тяговых подстанций для расширения зоны рекуперации электротранспорта в условиях ограниченного тягового электропотребления. С учетом существующих ограничений это позволит снизить количество срывов рекуперативного торможения и расход электроэнергии на тягу поездов.
