        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The object of research in this work is the relationship between the feasibility of secondary use the moss layer and the thermal characteristics of an oil pipeline, which was laid underground in permafrost conditions. The purpose of the work is to determine the expediency of the secondary use of the moss layer with underground laying of the pipeline in the permafrost conditions. The choice of the object and purpose of the study is motivated by the intensive development of territories with permafrost soils, by the relevance of problems related to the construction and operation of the energy transport system, by its impact on the ecological development of the permafrost zone and by the need for further research aimed at solving these problems. The following tasks were formulated to achieve this goal: a) to determine the main thermal factor affecting the expediency of the secondary use of the moss layer; b) to consider the possibility of restoring the moss layer at various permafrost soils; c) to determine the feasibility of restoring the moss layer for underground laying pipeline with various types of energy resources; d) to determine the economic component of the secondary use of the moss layer. The equivalent of the Zapolyarye–Purpe Oil pipeline theoretical model of the underground oil pipeline is presented in this work for research. The inexpediency of the secondary use of the moss layer in the underground laying of the oil and gas pipeline is justified by the thermal and economic characteristics of the soil. Future considerations of this topic are related to the study of the economic indicators of underground pipelines in conditions of multi-layered permafrost soils.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The study investigates the use of various binders for soil stabilization to enhance road batter protection under extreme hydraulic conditions. Flash floods and high-velocity water flows in rural areas often lead to significant erosion, posing challenges for infrastructure sustainability. This research aimed to identify cost-effective and efficient binder combinations suitable for protecting soil surfaces against severe erosion. Disturbed soil samples were mixed with agricultural lime, gypsum, and triple blends at varying proportions and subjected to controlled weathering and flume tests at velocities of up to 2 m/s. The results revealed that triple blends, at proportions of 2 % and 3 %, demonstrated the most effective erosion resistance, with unconfined compressive strengths exceeding 1 MPa. In contrast, gypsum showed limited efficacy due to uneven binding distribution. The study concludes that optimal binder selection and application can significantly reduce erosion susceptibility, offering a sustainable solution for rural infrastructure protection.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The study presents an experimental and analytical investigation of foamed polyurethane viscoelastic materials with varying density and pore structures, focusing on their dynamic mechanical behavior relevant for vibration damping applications. Samples with distinct pore configurations (open, closed, and combined) and varying densities (165–380 kg/m3) were subjected to resonance-based dynamic tests under static loads of 2, 5, and 10 kPa. The dynamic modulus of elasticity and damping characteristics, including loss factor, fractional damping parameters, and relaxation times, were determined. Results indicated that damping properties are strongly influenced by material density and internal pore structure, with closed-pore materials exhibiting lower damping capacities compared to materials with open or combined pores. A Fractional Standard Linear Solid (FSLS) model was effectively utilized to characterize the observed nonlinear viscoelastic behaviors, successfully correlating experimental data through parameter identification methods. The findings confirm that increased density generally enhances the dynamic modulus while reducing damping capacity, whereas pore structure significantly affects the material's dynamic response. These insights validate fractional derivative models as efficient predictive tools, facilitating the optimized design of viscoelastic isolation systems for engineering structures.</abstract>

          <artTitle lang="ENG">Detection of unauthorized connections to storm drains based on passive radio frequency identification technology</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The paper presents the results of research on using radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies to prevent pollution by enabling early detection of industrial discharges. The goal of the study is to develop a method for detecting unauthorized connections to storm sewers using passive RFID technology. The authors justify the choice of passive RFID, based on the EPC Class 1 Gen2 standard (ISO/IEC 18000-63:2021(E)). The authors describe experiments to reliably detect RFID tags floating in protective casings on the water’s surface by reader with the antenna positioned 0.5–1.5 m above the water. A key challenge is the difficulty in reading tags directly on the water’s surface, as water shields and reflects the reader’s electromagnetic waves. Additional tests were conducted to evaluate the impact of tag collisions on the accuracy and completeness of readings, as these collisions may cause missed tags when passing by the reader’s antenna. The study confirms that passive RFID can address key challenges in detecting unauthorized storm sewer connections. RFID technology has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of environmental monitoring, reduce control costs, and better protect water bodies from industrial pollution. The research is significant for advancing new methods and technologies in environmental protection and can be applied in state environmental control systems to identify and prevent unauthorized wastewater discharges from industrial facilities.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The technology of underground mining is one of the most promising areas of the mining industry. The use of technogenic waste, as well as unclaimed and substandard raw materials for the production of fill mortars in all over the world is an urgent problem in ecology and materials science. Research on obtaining the compositions of backfill mortars with different contents of blast furnace slag is presented. Mechanical activation of raw mixtures for granular aggregates was carried out in a vortex jet mill. A method for preparing raw material granules in a disc granulator has been developed. It has been established that when using a disc granulator, the following yield of aggregate fractions has been obtained: the number of fractions up to 8 mm is 30 %, fractions up to 6 mm – 27 %, fractions 2–4 mm – 43 %. It has been marked that granular aggregates using a slag fraction of 2.5 mm (composition 1) have the greatest strength of 3.73 MPa. When the fraction size increases up to 5 mm (composition 1), the strength of the granules decreases by 12.01 % and amounts to 3.33 MPa. The structure formation of solutions with different types of granular aggregates has its own characteristics, which are determined by the slag fraction, composition and water-binding ratio, as well as the condition of strength gain.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) column is one of the most effective building structures types that combine high bearing capacity and economy. Three-dimensional nonlinear finite element analysis is the most common and reliable method for determining the bearing capacity of CFST columns. This approach is usually applied to individual elements and is not suitable for calculating buildings and structures with CFST elements as a single whole, due to high computational complexity. The purpose of the article is to develop a simplified model that allows reducing a three-dimensional problem of calculating a CFST column to a two-dimensional one. Rectangular CFST columns subjected to eccentric compression with eccentricity in two planes are considered. The problem dimension is reduced based on the hypothesis of plane sections. Rectangular elements are used for the concrete core and one-dimensional bar elements are used for the steel pipe. The developed model was verified by comparing calculation results with the results of three-dimensional finite element modeling in ANSYS. The maximum discrepancy between the results for stresses was 2.3 %. The model was also validated on experimental data for 38 samples presented in 3 different papers. The proposed model allows to significantly reduce the machine time costs when calculating CFST columns in a physically nonlinear formulation.</abstract>

          <artTitle lang="ENG">Bending of orthotropic scalene triangle plates: finite difference modeling</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The object of the study is a transversely bent triangular plate made of an orthotropic material, fixed along the edges of the plate, under the action of a uniformly distributed load. The fourth-order differential equilibrium equations with variable orthotropy parameters were used. The equations were approximated by finite differences for a grid of scalene triangles. Such a grid describes well the boundary contour of triangular plates. The boundary conditions for the grid were written taking into account the orthotropy of the plate material. Seven typical finite difference equations were developed taking into account the boundary conditions along three edges of the plate and the presence of three angles of an irregular triangle. A finite difference matrix was obtained. The matrix structure allows calculating a triangular plate at different angles at the base. It is possible to vary the boundary conditions in the form of rigid or hinged support of the triangular plates. The calculation method takes into account the parameters of the orthotropy of the material in two mutually perpendicular planes. The adaptation of the numerical method to the calculation of orthotropic plates of arbitrary shape was described. The relationships for determining the rigidity characteristics of orthotropic materials were given. An algorithm for simple engineering calculation of triangular orthotropic plates was proposed that allowed performing accurate calculations in variant design. The scientific and applied results of the proposed article will find wide application in mechanics of deformable solids in the field of studying two-dimensional thin-walled structures, as well as in calculating plates of complex geometry with non-uniform mechanical characteristics of their materials.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The current research uses a physical model to investigate the role of micropiles as vertical reinforcement of footing when embedded in sandy silty soil from Mosul City – Northern Iraq. The experimental program focused on carrying out several load-settlement tests for the footing with two different reinforcement conditions: by a single micropile and group micropiles. The study is extended to investigate the role of soil homogeneity, weak soil underneath by strong soil layer, in the behavior of load-settlement curves for the reinforced footing. Next, the load settlement tests were, again, conducted using the same model but for the non-reinforced footing (flat footing). The first results indicated that the physical model has succeeded in representing all the studied cases. Also, the results showed a significant improvement in the behavior of the load-settlement curves when the footing was reinforced with micropile, especially using the micropile group, compared with the non-reinforced footing. Also, the degree of improvements in the load-bearing capacity and load-settlement behavior, for the footing reinforced with micropiles embedded in different conditions of soil homogeneity, was examined through two different non-dimensional factors: bearing capacity ratio (BCR) and percent of settlement reduction (PSR). The results indicated that the BCR was increased and the PSR was decreased for the reinforced footing compared to the non-reinforced footing. Moreover, from the test results, we noticed that the homogeneity of the soil has a significant effect on the load-settlement curves behavior of the footing.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">The current research presents a new approach for nonlinear dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete shear wall under seismic loading in ANSYS Mechanical software via adding APDL commands. By applying lateral load, the behavior of reinforced concrete shear wall as a model was analyzed using the proposed method and the maximum bearing load, maximum displacement and the positions of the occurrence of the cracks were determined. Then, this shear wall was analyzed through Response Spectrum Method (RSM) as a linear dynamic method and the results of nonlinear dynamic method were compared with RSM. The results of nonlinear dynamic analysis showed that the maximum loading and its maximum displacement were 276 kN and 2 cm, respectively. However, the maximum displacement obtained by RSM was more than the corresponding value using the proposed nonlinear method, which this is mainly due to the consideration of safety factor in RSM. In addition, the whole capacity of materials is employed in nonlinear analysis, which this issue is not taken into account in RSM.</abstract>

          <artTitle lang="ENG">Experimental study on the behavior of multilayer geosynthetic-reinforced sandy embankments</artTitle>
        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">A significant number of transportation embankments fail before their design life due to poor quality of construction materials, inadequate compaction, embankment construction, and overloading. To overcome this issue, increasing the strength and rigidity of the embankment layers is necessary to lower the stresses on the sub-layers. This paper aims to advance the knowledge of using multilayer geosynthetic reinforcements to improve the performance of sandy embankments. Four laboratory model tests with reinforced and unreinforced embankment were conducted in a box of inner dimensions of 2.40(L)×1.15(W)×1.20(H) m. Local poorly graded sand (A3 soil) was used as fill material to construct a 450 mm high embankment with a 1:1 side slope resting on a 300 mm high of sandy subgrade soil. In the reinforced embankments, three layers with 150 mm vertical spacing of either geotextile, geogrid, or geocomposite (i.e., geotextile sheet over geogrid) were utilized in each model test. Several non-distractive tests, e.g., lightweight deflectometer, dynamic cone penetration, and field California bearing ratio tests, were performed during the embankment construction. In each test, two static plate loading tests were conducted to evaluate the embankment performance and the benefit of geosynthetic reinforcement. The study showed that geosynthetic reinforcement significantly decreased surface settlement and increased load-carrying capacity. The results indicate that the load-carrying capacity near the embankment side slope can be significantly increased by the inclusion of geosynthetic layers and that the magnitude of capacity increase depends greatly on the geosynthetic type. The results also demonstrate that geogrid lateral restrain and confinement were more effective alternatives to sublayer improvement than geotextile or geocomposite.</abstract>
