Ensuring the Safety of Buildings and Structures Damaged as a Result of Military Man-Made Actions

Abstract

A significant number of destroyed buildings and structures during the military aggression of the Russian Fed-eration in Ukraine make it necessary for scientific organizations to solve new problems in the restoration of residential and public buildings. After explosive devices have hit the building, the first task is to identify the possibility of its further operation. Technical assessment of the damage level should be justified by using ex-perimental data on changes in the physical and mechanical parameters of construction materials and structures, which are strength, deformability, crack resistance, etc., as a result of the blast waves and fires that accompany explosions in the premises. An urgent task is to develop a methodology that takes into account the impact of explosions and fires caused by them so that structures can be calculated and their residual life estimated. For many decades, the State Research Institute of Building Constructions has been solving problems of assessing the technical condition of damaged buildings and structures as a result of man-made disasters and actions, fol-lowed by the development of technical solutions that ensure the necessary operational characteristics of these objects can be restored.
