          <abstract lang="ENG">The article presents the way of using articulated robotic manipulator with building a 3D printer for automation of brick masonry using traditional water-cement solution. The article describes in stages all the steps that need to be done with a robot manipulator in order to build a brick column, similar to the real one, without the use of hands. The column, according to preliminary data, must withstand a maximum load approximately equal to that which would withstand a column of the same material, but made by man. Later, the properties of 6 built brick columns are compared, half of which is built by a robot, and the other part – by a man. All advantages and disadvantages of the automated method of construction of stone structures are also considered. In the course of the work, such indicators as masonry time, structural strength, as well as their comparison with the indicators of structures erected by physical effort were revealed.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">At the moment, the market of wall materials for low-rise cottage construction remains very conservative. People tend to erect the walls of cottages, using all the usual materials - wood (timber), brick, ceramic, gas concrete or aerated concrete blocks. At the same time, a relatively recently appeared technology of erecting walls of cottages with the help of a fixed formwork for concrete, which combines load-bearing, heat-insulating and enclosing elements at the same time. The aim of this work is to analyze the shortcomings of existing fixed formwork blocks and, taking them into account, create our own fixed formwork block, test its strength and heat transfer resistance, as well as analyze the above-mentioned characteristics and compare them with the most common energy-efficient wall materials for cottage construction presented on market of St. Petersburg.

Comparison with the five most common energy-efficient materials showed that the designed block has a much higher R-value and one of the biggest values of compressive strength. In the future, it is planned to work out the composition of the material in detail, making it lighter and stronger. Besides that, it is planned to work out its shape, making the blocks convenient to operate.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The paper discusses the possibilities of use of high-strength fibrous carbon materials (CFRPs) in the bridge construction. A comparative analysis of the mechanical properties of the main types of carbon fibers is carried out, alternative variants of high-strength fibers are considered. The characteristics of specific strength and stiffness of carbon composites are compared with characteristics of traditional structural materials. The tension capacity and elastic modulus of carbon fibers lie in a rather wide range. Despite the superiority of the elastic modulus of carbon fibers over the elastic modulus of a traditional material - steel - and alternatives (para-aramid fibers and high modulus polyethylene fibers), carbon fibers are more fragile and less resistant to bending. At the same time, in terms of specific indicators of strength and stiffness, CFRPs surpass almost all polymer and metal materials used in construction. According to this, the concept of application of carbon fibers in the bridge construction is presented in the study.</abstract>
