One of the areas of scientific research of the Department Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures and Strength of Materials is improvement of Uncapital Ungrider Frame Structure for its widespread introduction in housing of Ukraine.
Residential building in Poltava in Zhovtneva Street, 60D during construction and after construction with using scientific research of the Department
Experimental testing of slabs, columns and staircases of Uncapital Ungrider Frame Structure were conducted in the laboratory of the Department for the first time in Ukraine.
Experimental verification of advanced constructions of Uncapital Ungrider Frame Structure at the Department laboratory
Scientists of the Department developed specifications for concrete products (slabs, columns and stairways) of Uncapital Ungrider Frame Structure of residential buildings. The results of research in improving the frame structures and junctions supported by patented utility model.
16-storey residential buildings are commissioned on the avenue of Bohdan Khmelnytsky, 21, construction on Zhovtneva Street, 60D in Poltava is completed, large-scale construction in village Rozsoshentsi is continued using the scientific development engineering of lecturers of the Department.
The lecturers of the Department conduct the advanced study in industry of research of reinforced concrete and stone structures under mixed deformations (leader – ScD, professor A.M. Pavlikov), and also support destruction and deformation of concrete and reinforced concrete elements which test mixed heterogeneous mode of deformations at different character of external influences (PhD, associate professors of S.M. Mykytenko, O.O. Dovzhenko).
Reinforced concrete beam test under biaxial bending in the laboratory of the Department
The members of the Department have got 38 copyright certificates and 6 patents on the inventions of different type.
The department staff supports creative copulas and conducts economic-contractual work with establishments, factories, industrial and agricultural enterprises. Last years many projects of reconstruction of production objects were developed, building inspections were performed and over 100 build objects were reconstructed in Poltava and other areas of Ukraine. With participation of students were projected spectator stands of Poltava karting, laboratory corps named «L» and academic building named «A» and «F» of the University. The Poltava stadium «Vorskla» was reconstructed.
Annually scientific developments of the department make it possible to defend 1 – 2 candidates’ thesis. The results of the research of the teachers of the department were reflected in monographs and scientific articles published in professional collections of Ukraine and abroad, in particular in more than 40 publications included in the scientific and metric base Scopus.
The Department has laboratory facilities with total area of 798.6 m2. One of them – the most advanced laboratory in Ukraine, it is designed to provide laboratory work of academic disciplines, testing and explore reinforced concrete and masonry structures.
The laboratory to provide laboratory work and research of reinforced concrete structures
This laboratory with dimensions 18 x 36 m is equipped by a crane beam carrying capacity 10 kN, a bridge crane carrying capacity of 250 kN, modern computer technologies, unique and testing devices, power handling equipment for the study work of the structures under static and dynamic loads up to 5000 kN.
