Authors: Kukhar I , Orlovskiy S , Martynovskaia S 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Analysis of existing designs showed that for the basing of the module on vehicles it is possible only with the use of load-lifting equipment with a load capacity of 5-6 tons, which is not always possible to realize in remote areas. The design of the module for extinguishing residential and industrial premises in remote settlements, as well as for their protection against forest fires, is proposed in the form of a draft design. The modules can also be used as a reserve of fire fighting equipment in district centers, as well as in specialized forest divisions of the GUIN system. The fireman module is designed for installation on trucks with a platform having openable sides, a load capacity of 4 or 6 tons without changing their design and without the use of load lifting mechanisms. The module has indicators of technical characteristics similar to those used in fire protection for road tankers, but significantly less. Its use does not require the purchase and maintenance of a fire truck with a driver, the construction of a fire station, the cost of operation is minimal.

Published: June 2019

AbstractThe article is to study the influence of oil price variation on the parameters of the residential real estate market, which is a significant factor of the development of the country’s living standards. The analysis of oil price variation as one of the key figures determining price variation of goods and services in Russia, covers the period of the 2008 crisis and the postcrisis period of 2011-2017 (on a quarterly basis). The price variation of living space per square meter in the primary and secondary housing markets in remote federal districts (Central, Siberian, Far Eastern) has been analyzed. That allowed to identify the specifics of the process investigated in far-flung territories with significantly different indicators of economic development. As an assessment tool of the impact of structural changes in the Russian economy on price variation a statistical Chow-test, showing the presence of structural instability during the crisis, has been used. Based on the data, modeling of the interconnection between the oil price variation and a housing square meter price variation has been carried out in the period of 20112017. The official data of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation have been used.

City as an Object of Ecological and Economic Researches: the Example of Russian Cities
Authors: Shcherbakova N , Khaikin M 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The growth of environmental pollution especially in big cities dictates the need to search for the reasons of this trend, most of which refer to the economic sphere. The aim of this work is not only to describe the state of environment in Russian cities with the population of 100 thousand inhabitants and more, but also to reveal the main economic factors that influence on the intensity of their environmental pollution. The ecological and economic analysis of Russian cities, fulfilled in this work, helped to identify the most unfavourable of them in terms of the level of environmental impact. The low quality of environment in these cities is largely due to natural and climatic conditions (bad conditions for contaminants dispersion) and specifics of their economic development: functioning of large industrial enterprises of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, petrochemistry, construction industry. The conclusion is that to improve the environmental quality in these cities comprehensive social, environmental and economic solutions are required.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The paper presents the results of particle size distribution analysis of atmospheric particulate matter studied in the snow of several settlements in the Magadan Region (towns Magadan, Susuman, and Omsukchan). The study found a significant content of PM10 particles in the air of Magadan town (28 to 65.7%), and a general dominance of particles under 50 μm in diameter (PM50 fraction) - from 44.4 up to 100%. The content of environmentally significant PM10 particles in the air of smaller settlements of the Magadan region (towns Susuman and Omsukchan) does not exceed 21. 1%. We can conclude that the air in the Magadan town, due to the predominance of PM10 and PM50 particles is characterized by a pronounced micro-particles contamination. This level of pollution, in conjunction with the harsh climate of this region, is a constant source of respiratory diseases and a factor in reduction of the quality of life.
Modified Fuzzy Model for Selecting Stakeholder Engagement Strategies of the Company Using Generalized Criterion
Authors: Solodukhin K 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The paper proposes a modified fuzzy model for selection of the most appropriate types of engagement strategies of the organization with its different stakeholders. The decision to choose one or another type of strategy is based on fuzzy weighting factors of applicability of the strategies considered as random variables for the most probable scenarios using a fuzzy generalized criterion that combines mathematical expectation and standard deviation. The principal difference of the model from the previously developed ones by the authors is that fuzzy weight factors of strategies applicability are not calculated by the given formulas but are determined on the basis of the given base of fuzzy inference rules. Herewith, when calculating the mathematical expectation and the standard deviation, the weighting factors of strategies applicability are not defuzzificated beforehand. Accordingly, the partial criteria, the generalized criterion, the level of risk tolerance of the decision-maker are fuzzy. In this case, the ranking of strategy types occurs on the basis of various methods for ordering fuzzy numbers.

Abstract
Gaining the leading positions by Russia in creation and development of technologies of the sixth technological way staticizes the researches devoted to safety problems in the innovative sphere. External threats of innovative safety are defined by pressure technologies on Russia as a result of which“brain drain”of both mature, and young scientists will be provided. Internal threats are caused by the realized economic policy. Increase in a share of the state in those sectors of economy which are crucial for creation of technologies of the sixth technological way is necessary. At the same time it is necessary to increase the cost of“live work”for stimulation of investments into production. Decrease in social differentiation and level of corruption is considered in the context of increase in efficiency of expenditure of budgetary funds. Backbone threats of innovative safety are connected with the realized policy in education and sciences. The realization of the priorities of development of the higher education defined in the new state program“Development of education” considered in the context of the formed trend on considerable reduction of the budgetary places for training in a magistracy in the directions of preparation which are the key from the point of view of“break”in the sixth technological way - continuation of strategy for decrease in innovative capacity of state universities.
Simulation of Banking Sector’s Investment Potential
Authors: Kurmanova L , Kurmanova D 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The article analyzes the factors of the macroeconomic environment that affect the level of the investment potential of the national banking system in modern conditions. Investment potential is a quantitative indicator assessing the availability of certain resources and their sufficiency to meet investment demand and investment activities. It is the investment opportunities of commercial banks that acquire special significance for economic growth, and therefore it is extremely important to develop an up-to-date mechanism for developing and realizing the investment potential of the Russian banking sector. The situation with long-term financing of the real economy is aggravated by the introduction of sanctions, which led to the closure of access to the Russian banks for international capital markets for borrowing “long” money. Issues related to the definition of the investment potential of the banking system and the evaluation of formation factors are widely considered in the scientific literature. However, there is no general definition and unified methodology for assessing the investment potential of the banking sector. All this testifies to the urgency of the scientific problem of developing assessment tools and forecasting investment potential, taking into account all possible factors affecting its magnitude. To determine the points of investment potential growth on the basis of correlation-regression analysis, a three-factor model for forecasting investment activity and expanding the potential of Russian commercial banks was formed.

Abstract
The article highlights the main problems and features of the innovation infrastructure development within the regional management. Innovative infrastructure in modern conditions of development is one of the strategic directions of development of science, the equipment and production in the country. Thus, one of the key problems concerning the development of innovation infrastructure in the regions is the lack of a single coordination mechanism that performs service functions between all the parties in the innovation process. The authors propose the introduction of a single Coordination center for the development of innovation infrastructure at the levels of management, performing the functions of planning and forecasting innovation processes, analysis and evaluation functions, information and coordination support, methodological support, control in the field of innovation. Introduction of the Coordination center of development of innovative infrastructure in the Russian Federation is based on integration approach and will allow participants of innovative process to increase the level of efficiency, effectiveness and commercialization of innovative activity, to create the uniform platform of management of innovations in the country. Development of uniform integration processes in the sphere of innovations is directed to interaction on three levels of management: federal, regional, local it is also focused on development of both small, and large innovative business.

Abstract
Scientific evidence predicts significant climate changes in the future and the world faces warmer days with extreme precipitation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of predicted climate changes until 2100 on the hygrothermal behavior of well-insulated residential timber buildings are being constructed recently in Germany according to the new low and zero energy standards. Considering the facts that wood and timber constructions are sensitive to moisture and moisture changes and these buildings should have a service life of 50 to 100 years, the hygrothermal performance of several exterior wall assemblies has been analyzed by means of coupled heat and moisture transfer numerical model in this period. Predicted climate data -by the end of the century- for several cities in different Germany’s hygrothermal regions, extracted from climate service centers’ databases and applied as an outdoor condition. The article discusses the response of a number of buildings envelops exposed to these exterior environments. Accordingly, critical aspects of moisture performance regarding the risk of mold growth and fungal decay were in each assembly analyzed. In this regard, relevant solutions were suggested aiming construction of more resilient timber structures to climate changes.
The Use of Natural Materials for Construction Projects – Social Aspects of Sustainable Building: Case Studies from Australia and Europe
Authors: Burroughs S , Růžička J 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The three pillars of sustainability are the economic, environmental and social pillars. To achieve sustainable construction projects, these three priorities must be balanced. Considering social aspects is of equal importance when considering the design, materials and technologies used in buildings. The increased use of naturally based materials from renewable sources using traditional techniques is common in sustainable buildings and can help balance some of the social aspects. Building with traditional technologies such as compressed earth blocks (CEBs), rammed earth, adobe, or strawbale technologies is a viable option to conventional construction methods when the structure meets modern scientific and engineering standards. High-quality, sustainable buildings are achievable using local resources and local labour. This paper presents case studies from remote Australia and Europe and shows the social and environmental impacts according to the technology used. Prior consideration of the social aspects can result in the improvement of the sustainability of the building.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
The use of timber with other bio-based building materials is often restricted due to the fire hazard. The primary protection for timber against fire is provided by cladding. Currently, there is limited fire protection design data on clay and hemp boards since they are relatively new products. Furthermore, the mechanical performance of boards is of utmost importance in timber frame assemblies. This paper presents a test program that determines the tensile and bending strength of boards accompanied by a comparison to widely used gypsum plasterboards. The fire protection effect for timber is assessed by using a cone heater. Main results indicate that clay and hemp boards are adequate alternatives for the gypsum plasterboards as they can demonstrate similar performance. Hemp boards made by dry method perform significantly better compared to the ones made by wet method. Clay boards with special additive demonstrate increased fire performance compared to more ecological boards. This study contributes to further research that is needed in order to provide design parameters for sustainable building solutions in the future.

Non-Destructive Testing of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
Authors: Sierens Z , Vandevyvere B , Kyndt L , Tytens G , Li J 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Currently, recycled aggregate concrete is a widely used building material. Due to negative influences on concrete’s mechanical properties, it is mostly used in low-valued applications. Nevertheless, high quality recycled concrete aggregates derived from a good quality original concrete can be used in high-valued applications, such as precast concrete. These high quality aggregates can be obtained by optimizing the crushing process. To ensure recycled aggregate concrete quality, the influence of different parameters on its mechanical and durability properties must be established. The quality of recycled concrete in high-valued applications can easily be measured via non-destructive tests. In this research project, the properties of recycled aggregate concrete are tested in a non-destructive way in order to establish a correlation between the different properties. Results of several laboratory tests show a good relation between the static elastic modulus and the dynamic elastic modulus, calculated by measuring the ultrasonic pulse waves and resonance frequency. Nevertheless, a study to transfer this knowledge into practice will demonstrate the applicability of the results.
Optimization of RC Structures with Regard to Amount of Embodied CO2 Emissions
Authors: Ženíšek M , Hájek P 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The volume of CO2 emissions (and other greenhouse gases) has been rising almost continuously for several decades. Concrete is the most used man-made material in the world, thus the construction of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is associated with high environmental impact, mainly due to the consumption of cement as binder for concrete and steel as reinforcement. This article analyses the available options for the design of RC structure to reduce embodied CO2 emissions. The main part of the article is a case study demonstrating optimization of the load-bearing structure of multi-storey building. Emphasis was placed on achieving the optimal variant in terms of CO2 emissions, while maintaining a comparable cost of the construction. The results of this study show that in this particular case the use of concrete with a lower strength brings lower environmental impact than of concrete with higher strength. The reason is that the production of lower strength concrete allows the use of cements with a lower clinker content which is decisive for CO2 emissions. However, the use of concrete with higher strength allows more subtle structural members with lower content of concrete and potentially with higher durability.
Life Cycle Analysis of Vertical Building Extensions – Environmental Impacts of Different Material Selection
Authors: Hafner A , Storck M 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Adding storeys to existing buildings plays a large role in sustainable urban densification and helps to decrease the growing demand for urban city housings. Vertical building extensions create living space without the need for further land use, by extending existing buildings vertically by one or more storeys. Research points to the possibility of creating 1.1 million homes through storey additions in German metropolitan areas. A common method for investigating environmental impacts of a building is a life cycle assessment (LCA). Because of vertical building extensions being a relatively new concept, research is lacking, especially for LCAs. Therefore, this study describes frameworks and rules for LCAs of vertical building extensions. Moreover, environmental impacts of different material selection within storey additions are investigated. For this, a realised storey addition is analysed and main construction materials of the exterior wall and roof are replaced. The environmental impacts of material selection are then compared using the impact category global warming potential. Results show that the choice of material has a large influence on LCA results. In this case, the wood construction has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions and amounts to approximately 180 kg CO2 eq/m2. The highest greenhouse gas emissions are emitted by a steel construction with approximately 230 kg CO2 eq/m2.
