The Volgograd State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering is one of the major Universities in Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad). It was founded in December 1951 and gained university status on December 29, 2003. Previous names were:.
Examples are given of the reconstruction of the bases and foundations of buildings and structures of the Moscow Kremlin and the Novodevichy Convent, as well as the construction of the Patriarch Germogen Monument in the Aleksandrov Gardens. The scientific support work is described, including geotechnical modeling, development of protective measures, and monitoring programs for geotechnical and heat-humidity conditions.
The process of engineering analysis, especially its preprocessing stage, comprises some knowledge-based tasks which influence the quality of the results greatly, require considerable level of expertise from an engineer; the support for these tasks by the contemporary CAE systems is limited. Analysis of the knowledge and reasoning involved in solving these tasks shows that the appropriate support for them by an automated system can be implemented using case-based reasoning (CBR) technology and ontological knowledge representation model. In this paper the knowledge-based system for intelligent support of the preprocessing stage of engineering analysis in the contact mechanics domain is presented which employs the CBR mechanism. The knowledge representation model is formally represented by the OWL DL ontology. Case representation model, case retrieval and adaptation algorithms for this model and the automated system are described.
The description and results of trial tests of a technical solution for decrease in unorganized dust emissions in the atmosphere from the electrosteel-smelting furnace are provided in article.
The results experimental studies of the effect of the of the length of the lower inlet pipe on the aerodynamic drag of the dust collector with counter swirling flows. The optimal value of the parameter length of the lower pipe of swirling dust collector series top entry VZP. Optimum values of parameter of length of the bottom branch pipe of the vortex dust collector on the counter twirled flows - the VZP series dust collector are defined.
At the Volgograd state architectural and construction university (VolgGASU) for many years researches of fractional structure and properties of the dust arriving on urban air environment from sources of various productions are conducted. Results of such assessment for the dust which is allocated in the atmosphere of the city when melting steel in arc electric furnaces are given in the present article.
