The paper deals with studies of Russian and European experiences in the development of municipal structure territories through the creation of agencies of promotion and redevelopment. One of the current issues of urban development is the lack of potential lands for new construction of residential and commercial properties because there are no free territories in Russia today. The notion of redevelopment is formulated in this paper with regard to the Russian regulations for town planning.

The article considers facade decoration of residential houses in Tomsk during the Soviet period. The remained decorative elements on facades of houses that were built by the special project are described herein. It is shown that the simplified elements of the order system of classicism and the national symbolism of the USSR period were often used. All these elements have the individual history and contain certain information. The architectural decoration of the considered historical period has specific features. The author's classification is suggested in this paper. It is shown that tendencies of the decoration application to houses were identical in the territory of the whole country.

The article is devoted to the history and development of architecture in Japan in the second half of the 20^th century. It is shown, that in this period there were dramatic changes in architecture of Japan in relation to the role of the nature in the life of modern man, functional zoning of urban and suburban spaces. Philosophical views and creative concept are considered for three generations of Japanese architects (K. Maekawa, K. Tange, K. Kurokawa, K. Shinohara, H. Hara and I. Hasegawa). Basic points of intersection are described for traditional principles of medieval Japanese architecture (wabi, makoto, sabi, yugen, etc.) with modern Western European and American styles (functionalism, postmodernism, hi-tech, organy-tech, etc.). As a result, in contemporary architecture of Japan two brand-new directions are formed, namely metabolism (capsular architecture) and postmaterialism (mutable aesthetics).

The paper deals with the durability of metal structures of supports which is one of their important properties necessary for the successful and accident-free operation of electric transmission lines. The criterion of safe operation is determined in the paper using a method of measuring the ultrasonic rate of the real supports. As a result the obtained dependence allows the quantitative analysis of the support lifetime. Measurements are carried out in Elabuga (Tataria).

The article deals with the elasto-plastic stress-strain state of the composite structure under the action of internal pressure. The spatial problem is solved in the axisymmetric formulation for static and dynamic load cases. A variation-difference method and the Wilkins finite-difference method are used for the problem solution which allow to obtain the values of local characteristics of the stress-strain state (displacements, deformations, stresses) of structures as well as elastic-plastic deformation thickness. In terms of the spatial positions of the theory of elasticity and plasticity, the proposed approach allows investigating the static and dynamic behavior of shell structures composed of various elements, including non-canonical.

The paper presents results of corrosion tests of the linear portion of the main pipeline. It is shown that stress corrosion cracking on the outer cathodically protected pipe localize in media containing up to 20 mg/l H2S practically without oxygen. Under these conditions, embrittlement of the tubular steel occurs, and stress corrosion cracking is observed on the outer cathodically protected surface. The kinetics of crack propagation deep into the pipe wall and along the pipe is studied during the operation of gas oil pipelines.

The paper deals with the construction of spherical shells based on radial-ring architecture. One of methods of forming a triangular network on a sphere is called Trainer. The optimality criterion in each method is the minimum number of standard sizes of the structural elements and the minimum number of assembly part of a dome, site joint, and presetress. Theoretical prerequisites to placement of hexagonal panels on spherical shells are studied in the paper. The analysis shows that the shell surface has a negative Gaussian curvature for the discussed panel arrangement and requires a specific structure of mounting components.

The paper deals with the effect of complex nanodispersed additives affected by the magnetic field of the given intensity and exposure and by chemical additives of different nature in the micro- and nanodispersed conditions that change the properties of cement composition. Cement brick is modified by nanodispersed additives, namely MT 600 peat additive and nanodispersed silica. The proposed real-field combined effects lead to increased strength, water and frost resistance of cement brick.

The paper deals with industrial waste recycling for the production of constructional materials. The research results are presented for cement concretes based on stone screening dust of quarries in Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions. Physical-mechanical properties of stone screening dust-based concretes are explored in this paper. It is shown that the use of stone screening dust and polycarboxylate additives allows producing concretes of B-22 and 5-B40 grades.

The paper presents the qualitative phase analysis of cement brick after 28 days of hardening and different processing of cement paste modified with nanoparticles. The cement-nanoagent-mixing water flow-chart is studied to prepare the cement paste. The correlation is determined for strength values of investigated cements brick samples. The qualitative phase analysis is carried out for 6 processing methods using the Rietveld refinement. It is shown that the major phases of the cement brick are Ca3H6O10Si2, Ca6H2O13Si3, Ca2H6O11Si3, Ca5H2O10Si2, H2O2Ca. The phase composition is estimated by the contribution of phase intensities to the integral intensity which, in turn, is compared to the experimental diffraction pattern. Mass fractions of phase lattices are calculated in the paper. It is found that the above mentioned phases are in a stable state, and a certain atom redistribution can be allowed inside the phase lattices as well as variations of the number of atoms in the cells.

The paper deals with the stress and strain relationship in powder materials determined by the experimental studies of reference material samples having the known physical and mechanical properties and geometry. The quantitative analysis is carried out via extra- or interpolation of experimental data on the one hand, and selection and refinement of experimental results on the other. The theory of small elasto-plastic deformations can be used to investigate the stress-strain state of structural elements made of powder materials and subjected to quasi-static loading.

The paper deals with the improvement of compressive strength of cement brick modified by nanodispersed SiO₂ particles obtained by a plasma method. Operational parameters are determined for the production of 10-300 nm SiO₂ nanoparticles with the specific surface of 32 m²/g. For the homogeneous distribution of SiO₂ nanoparticles, cement brick modified with the additive, was premixed in a laboratory mixer of gravitational type. It is shown that at early stages of hardening (1 day), SiO₂ additive increases the strength of cement brick by 17.6 %, while at later stages (28 days) this increase is 69 %. The X-ray phase analysis is used to investigate the composition of new phases in modified cement brick.

Cement concretes with increased strength and resistance to external cyclic loads are used in highway construction. The paper presents investigation results on the influence of SP-1 and Glenium ACE 430 plasticizers and SP-1 + silica fume, Glenium ACE 430 + silica fume complex additives on the properties of cement concrete under various mechanical exposures including the cyclic load. Cyclic load tests show that the greatest increase in compressive strength, splitting and bending tension and also in the resistance to cyclic loads is achieved in cement concretes with Glenium ACE 430 + silica fume additive. Cyclic mechanical loads cause the crystallization of amorphized calcium hydrosilicates or recrystallization of primary hydrates with the release of portlandite. Glenium ACE 430 + silica fume additive facilitates the retention of the amorphized structure of calcium hydrosilicates.
