Compression of Foundations Soils as a Way of Decreasing of Their Sinking and Expenses on Foundations and Substructure Works
(Issue of a magazine 5/2014, page 128)
The slab and pile foundations are mostly spread in modern building practice. Slab-pile foundations, where a slight part of the load is given to a slab, start to have some place, but actually they remain pile foundations.
Combined Pile-Raft Foundations (CPRF) and Slab-Pile Foundation (SPF) – Prospects for Development
(Issue of a magazine 5/2014, page 132)
Today combined pile-raft foundations (CPRF) get fairly widespread, which proves that most specialist try to use the joint work piles and cap plates. In other words they try to take into account the loadbearing capacity of cap plates on the ground. On the basis of engineering and geological research the developing modern computational methods make it possible to calculate the load that piles and cap plates bear. However, the accuracy of the load distribution, as well as the bearing capacity of piles and cap plates will depend on the range of the characteristics that will be derived from the results of research and design parameters adopted by the existing regulations.
Glass Wool in Facades with a Thin Plaster Layer
(Issue of a magazine 4/2014, page 96)
More recently a facade thermal insulation system with a thin plaster layer has become one of the most common options for protection and insulation of facades of residential low- and high-rise buildings, as well as municipal facilities. Such systems are favored due to several reasons.

From Profanation to Realization
(Issue of a magazine 4/2014, page 102)
The problem of monitoring load-bearing structures of unique buildings at construction and operational stages is becoming particularly important, which has already been admitted by designers, builders and supervisory authorities (see the article in the previous issue). However we haven’t reached consensus on this matter or worked out a solution algorithm yet. It’s no secret, although quite sad, that today the system of monitoring of many already erected unique buildings exists only on paper, approved by state expert assessment department.
Hinged Ventilated Facades
(Issue of a magazine 3/2014, page 90)
Currently for the building’s finishing is used a variety of non-restraining cladding, the most popular of which are hinged ventilated facades with different types of facings. Stoneware tiles, composite material, fiber cement sheets – that’s what creates the appearance of a modern city.
Shells: All Difficult – Is Simple!
(Issue of a magazine 3/2014, page 96)
Since the school time many of us have remembered the feeling that one can get when a problem that seemed irresolvable was finally explained: it turns out so easy! Elegant and smart, non-standard and at the same time simple ways to fulfill unconventional tasks that offers the Firm ISTOK Stroy Research & Design Organization very often lead to similar emotions: its surprise mixed with admiration.

Collapse of Large Span Buildings
(Issue of a magazine 3/2014, page 106)
Within the construction and technical expertise that was carried out during the past decade at the StaDiO R&D CJSC we performed the analysis of the possible causes of local destruction and the “progressive” collapse of roof constructions in a number of large span buildings. We can name the Transvaal Park sports and fitness complex, the Basmanny market, the Krylatskoye indoor skating center and a production shop among them.
