Andrianov K.A., Yartsev V.P.Influence of Composition on the Strength, Durability and Thermal Stability of Polystyrene Foam // Scientific article. Journal "Transactions of the TSTU", vol. 08 , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2002. (pdf-file) Abstract: Influence of polystyrene foams composition of different types and makes on
the strength, durability and thermal stability has been investigated. Their regularities of destruction in the wide range temperatures, loads and times of exploitation have been determined. It is shown that they are subordinated to general Zhurkov’s equation for durability. Parameters of working capacity have been calculated, proceeding from the equation.
Monastyrev P.V., Monastyreva M.V., Reid M.V.Damage to the Architectural Image of the Facade of a Building // Scientific article. Journal "Transactions of the TSTU", vol. 08 , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2002. (pdf-file) Abstract: The main mistakes, which happen as the result of repairs, replacement or renovation of some parts of buildings and fixtures, which affect the architectural merit of facades are analysed. The classification of the elements of the construction, causing the damage to the architectural image of the facade of a building is made.
Yartsev V.P., Kozhukhina O.N., Belyakin E.U.Durability and Strength Capacity of Asbestos-Cement Tubes // Scientific article. Journal "Transactions of the TSTU", vol. 08 , Tambov. TSTU publisher house , 2002. (pdf-file) Abstract: The problem of work capacity increasing for asbestos-cement tubes and its forecasting is viewed on the basis of thermal-fluctural approach to the mechanism of rigid bodies destroying. The received experimental datum open a perspective of work capacity forecasting for asbestos-cement tubes under different loads in a vast temperature interval and in a different operation period.
