Return of MERO-TSK

(Issue of a magazine 3/2013, page 96)

The large international company MERO-TSK along with the Russian company “Aluterra SK ” comes back in the Russian market of building construction after the successful implementation of the project of the dome for the AFIM all shopping and leisure center with the total area of 10,000 square meters that is located within the MIBC of “Moscow-City” and a number of other projects. In reality the cooperation of the 2 companies does not only cover Russian market, but the other CIS countries as well. The most wellknown projects that were realized within the former Soviet Union territory are the Shakhtar Stadium in Donetsk and the Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center in Baku.

(Issue of a magazine 3/2013, page 102)

TATPROF company is the largest manufacturer of structural extrusion aluminum in Russia, it takes the first place in volumes of its output in this sector and it is a leading expert in this sphere. The company was founded in 1990 and since 1995 it has released to the market its own unique system of translucent building envelopes. Since 2011 large-scale innovation projects have been implemented here, and the current year, following the trend of constant development, TATPROF company is launching an unprecedented in its sphere project called Smart Extrusion.

Special Measures and Ambient Cure of High-Rise Structures Made from B60 – B100 Series of High-Strength Concrete in the Winter Period

(Issue of a magazine 3/2013, page 104)

The climatic conditions in most regions of Russia during 4 - 7 months of the year could be characterized as winter conditions, when the average outdoor temperature is below +5°C and the minimum daily temperature is below 0°C. These conditions force to fulfill a specific procedures during the concrete works, which are reflected in the Regulation Code SP70.13330.2012 (updated version of SNIP 3.03.01-87) «Buildings’ supporting structures and envelopes».

Aeroelasticity Estimation in the Construction of Curtain Wall Systems

(Issue of a magazine 1/2013, page 98)

Aeroelasticity or aeroelastic interaction happens when an elastic object interacts with the air (air flow). During this process the air flow affects the objects and vice versa the object affects the air flow: aerodynamic forces that act on the elastic object trigger the deformation of its surface, which in its turn changes the aerodynamic forces. In our case the elastic object is either a building or a structure.

Foundation Structure Calculations

(Issue of a magazine 5/2012, page 124)

In the north-western part of the International Business Complex of “Moscow-City” between plots number 12 and number 13 on the south and plot number 14 in the east, is a plot of 16, divided by the “diaphragm wall” into two different depth parts - 16A and 16B. At plot № 16A is intended the construction of two high-rise buildings - the 49-storey office (215.3 m) and the 85-storey block (329.6 m). The buildings are designed with two basement floors under a single level stylobate and high-rise part of the complex. At the plot № 16B is provided the erection of 15-storey above-ground parking with a 5-level underground parking and stylobate.

Peculiarities of Design Parameters Definition of Wind Load on Tall Buildings and Complexes

(Issue of a magazine 5/2012, page 134)

Specialists from “Aluterra SK” Ltd. and production and design department “Epsilon” (scientific maintenance of projects) have accumulated a big practical experience in the field of design and erection of curtain wall facade systems. The article describes peculiarities of definition of wind load design parameters for tall buildings and complexes.

Aluminium Profile in Architectural Lightning Engineering

(Issue of a magazine 5/2012, page 142)

The aluminium profile for LED application has already obtained a wide spread in Europe and USA . The Russian LED market is behind the western in whole and we can say that it is in a formation stage. However, a trend to apply the aluminium profile in the LED engineering is obvious like a development of the LED market.

ISOVER: Saves Heat and Energy

(Issue of a magazine 4/2012, page 94)

Saint-Gobain Isover products are well known on the Russian market. ISOVER heat insulating materials are widely used in industrial and civil construction as well as in housing development. The company is constantly carrying out scientific research in order to improve the quality of manufactured products and create new materials, which is especially important today when ecological and energysaving issues come to the fore. What effective solutions does the company offer Russian consumers? Vitaliy Borisov, head of certification department at Saint-Gobain Isover, is telling us about it.

By What Means Are Build the Skyscrapers

(Issue of a magazine 4/2012, page 98)

The scale of the “Moscow- City” project is difficult to overestimate. The construction is so great that makes this project the biggest not only in Russia or Europe, but also in the world. There are millions of cubic metres of concrete, more than a million tons of reinforcing bars, the great volume of all kind of vehicles and construction technologies, as well as endless quantity of manpower. And all this is concentrated on a relatively small area of less than one square kilometer.

Aluminum Formwork as a Factor of High-Speed Construction

(Issue of a magazine 4/2012, page 100)

«Time is Money» this Benjamin Franklin’s phrase is rather pointful for current situation in construction business. In the age of high-speed technologies the construction processes should be accurate and speedy to gain the customer. Modern technologies make it quite possible. The reliable formwork also allows achieving such results. By means of such construction systems is possible to build up monolithic concrete walls, shafts, columns and wide range of other construction elements and modules.
