Panel and Frame Buildings of a New Generation

The problem of obsolescence of large-panel buildings is raised, the need of designing buildings with the possibility of re-planning of apartments and creations of bigger spaces is proved. A new approach to designing large-panel and frame buildings, ensuring the flexibility of space-planning arrangements and a variety of facades due to the use of hollow-core floor slabs with multi-hollow strengtheners is offered. The design of such a slab, manufacturing technique, advantages of its use in projects of residential and public buildings are shown.

Keywords: large-panel housing construction, long-term consumer properties, flexible layout, structural concepts, bearing system of buildings

Imitating Simulation of Energy Consumption of Buildings During the Life Cycle on the Basis of Apparatus of Stochastic Aggregative Systems

Actuality of the use of the system approach to the organization of processes of the life cycle of energy efficient buildings is shown. The necessity of imitating simulation of buildings power consumption on the basis of an apparatus of stochastic aggregative systems is substantiated. An author’s definition of the “power consumption aggregates” term is offered. The power consumption function is formalized in the form of a piecewise linear spline.

Keywords: energy efficiency, building, system approach, simulation, life cycle.

The Use of Timber Framing in Low-Rise Housing Construction with Monolithic Foam Concrete Heat Insulation

At present there is a debate between the supporters of the use during the construction of low-rise buildings of a timber bearing framing together with monolithic foam concrete and the supporters of the use of a bearing framing made of light steel thin-walled structures. An analysis of the use of a bearing timber frame is presented; results of the tests conducted are considered.

Keywords: monolithic foam concrete, timber construction, timber framing

Heat Insulation of Junctions of Walls with a Floor Disk in Monolithic Houses

Variants of structural solutions for heat insulation of an external wall of a building are described. The first variant is a frame with a heat insulation layer. The second one is a frame with self-regulating cables and a heat insulation layer. In both cases the frame is fastened to the building’s wall. Results of numerical simulation are presented. Offered structural solutions of devices are compared with the base variant. It is established that such structural solutions ensure the required comfortable conditions for residents.

Keywords: specific heat, heat conductivity, wall junction.
