        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The solid pile foundation is modeled by elastic vertical bars distributed over the area of the base in a uniform grid. It was assumed that the body of the structure is rigid, its weight is offset from the geometric center. The solution of statically indeterminate systems was obtained by the force method with the help of the Maxwell-Mohr formula. The method of induction made it possible to find a solution for an arbitrary number of piles. The dimensions of the foundation, the weight of the structure, the elastic characteristics of the piles (generalized stiffness), the number of the nodes in the grid of piles on both sides, the center of gravity coordinates were all the parameters of the solution. The computer algebra system Maple generated an analytical expression for the deformation and rotation angles of the foundation. The established dependencies exhibited limit (on the number of the piles) properties, allowing to estimate the deformation characteristics of the foundation and to optimize its design.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">Solid slab foundations, now widely used in foundation engineering, have one significant drawbackthe cost of steel used for their reinforcement. The authors proposed a design for the foundation slab with controlled forces. The solution differs from traditional ones as it implies adding hinged nodes into the body of the slab, which provides an almost universal decrease in the bending moments in the foundation. The article also presents the basic requirements for the design of the hinged node. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed design, the paper provides a comparative analysis of the calculation results for the foundation slab with controlled forces versus the traditional solid foundation slab. The analysis of the calculation results leads to the conclusion that the hinged node provides substantial unloading for the sections of the foundation slab in bays and under the columns.</abstract>

        </artTitles>
        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">When arranging a deformation monitoring system for a building, it is important to control the deformation state of its foundations. Various methods to control the deformation state of a building foundation include the method of hydrostatic leveling, which has a number of advantages. The article shows that this method, though underused now, is best applied to monitor differential foundation settlements on a continuous basis. This paper examines the factors affecting the accuracy of measurement by hydrostatic leveling and gives the recommendations for enhancing it. It was established that if measurements are made inside the building, it is possible to provide the level of measurement accuracy sufficient for most typical structures. The paper also gives examples of practical implementation of the self-engineered monitoring system based on the method of hydrostatic leveling, as well as their operating results.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">When the bottom of the foundation pit is below the groundwater level, groundwater drawdown is required; as a rule, it is extremely expensive. In order to reduce water drawdown costs in areas with consistently low air temperatures we suggest to excavate foundation pits in wintertime. As with hydraulic engineering constructions erected in the Far North, natural ground freezing allows for creating the waterproof ice wall that prevents the foundation pit from being flooded. The paper describes the sequence of ground freezing operations and methods to forecast the thermal state of the waterproof ground element during construction in Magadan, Russia. Calculations were made to reveal the conditions under which ice formation is probable in the foundation ditch when creating the ice wall, and a simple anti-icing method that involves using snow was proposed. The results can be applied in regions with extreme climatic conditions.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The authors constructed an experimental setup for contact elimination of iron from groundwater with a bioreactor and a polystyrene foam filter at an agricultural enterprise to ensure a regulatory content of iron in potable water. A method to calculate structural and technological parameters for filters to ensure minimum capital and operating costs under the regulatory quality indicators for purified water was developed. Based on experimental research, the relationship between the speed of water filtering and the duration of filtering, as well as between the speed of water filtering and filter charging (and hence, the duration of the useful work of the filter) were defined. The efficiency of deferrization and pressure loss across the filter in relation to the specific contaminant capacity of the filter and the filtration rate were studied. The minimum specific contaminant capacity of the filter for the experimental setup was determined.</abstract>

It presents the models which take into account the basic laws of kinematics and dynamics of the free fluid flow on the front of the streamlined cylinder, which can be useful both for the qualitative analysis of the phenomenon and for obtaining quantitative estimates. Dependencies characterizing the kinematics and dynamics of the fluid flow to the streamlined cylinder were deduced. The solution of the problem of the flow past an obstacle is of practical importance and can be used, for example, to predict the erosion upstream of intermediate bridge supports, to calculate the forces acting on projections and to design certain types of water intake facilities, etc.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">When designing berths and ship mooring systems near berths, it is necessary to protect ships from dangerous displacements. To make a well-reasoned choice, it is necessary to make estimates of the characteristics of sea wave impact on the ship (with respect to the steady-wave mode in the waters). The results of numeric calculations are better suited for engineering purposes. This paper presents a mathematical model to estimate hydrodynamic characteristics of wave impact on the ship moored at the berth with a stilling pool. To derive this mathematical model, the analytical method using eigenfunction expansion was employed. Also, the article shows the calculation data to demonstrate the influence of berth characteristics on loads experienced by the ship.</abstract>

        <abstracts>
          <abstract lang="ENG">The laboratory simulation established that the oblique wave approach and the absence of a beach expose the breakwaters made of shaped blocks at the root of seawalls to significant wave impacts, which results in their loss of stability. The mass of blocks required to maintain the stability of the structures is significantly greater than the one calculated in regulatory documents. This can be explained by the interference of direct and reflected waves. For a wave fully reflected from a seawall, the standing wave affecting the breakwaters will reach a height twice as great as the original. For a partially reflected wave, the height of the interfered wave depends on the angle of wave approach and the design of the seawall. The paper presents a theoretical rationale and a calculation methodology and introduces the results of numerical experiments.</abstract>

          <abstract lang="ENG">One of the main problems in offshore engineering is associated with scour protection at marine structures. Operation of gravity platforms may be unsafe if the soil is washed out from under their foundations due to the effect of waves and currents. The structures may lose stability and collapse. When designing a fixed platform, it is necessary to exclude the occurrence of a significant bottom scour near its base. There are various measures to protect soil foundations under offshore gravity structures from local scour. This article gives an overview of existing constructions, proposes a classification of such structures and provides recommendations on the method of selecting protective measures. In conclusion, it asserts the importance of setting the terms of their inter repair maintenance, monitoring and inspection.</abstract>
