Russian Science Day was established by decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 1999 in honor of the 275th anniversary of the founding of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This is a professional holiday for those who have dedicated their lives to research that is important for the country, who contribute to scientific and technical progress and strive to look into the future.

The focus of SPbGASU scientists is on such important topics as improving building materials, construction in permafrost conditions, improving labor safety, developing new methods for assessing the condition of historical buildings and their restoration, etc.

Let us list just some of the scientific works of the past year. Mikhail Zhavoronkov, associate professor of the Department of Construction Materials Technology and Metrology, developed a setup for testing fiber concrete for crack resistance. Egor Golov, associate professor of the Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction, proposed fundamental solutions for creating a digital twin of the road and transport infrastructure to improve road safety. Anna Grishina, associate professor of the Department of Construction Materials Technology and Metrology of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, created an antifungal modifier that protects building materials.

The laboratory of the Department of Construction Materials Technology and Metrology has completed studies of samples of plaster mortars and other finishing materials from the house of the architect Alexander Bryullov, which will help restore the building to its historical appearance. In the future, they will be used in the restoration of other objects.

The research topic of Andrey Boyarintsev, senior lecturer of the Department of Geotechnics, is composite piles. In 2024, the young scientist patented his fifth invention. Together with a graduate of the master’s program, Alexandra Zybtseva, he created a device for accurately measuring the temperature of the soil, which is very important for construction.

Yuri Zgoda, a postgraduate student at the Department of Information Systems and Technologies at SPbGASU, has developed a web application for high-performance computer modeling of thin-walled shell structures.

In 2024, the university’s teachers and postgraduate students defended one dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Science (Associate Professor of the Department of Information Systems and Technologies Alexey Semenov) and 16 dissertations for the degree of Candidate of Science.

Three patents for an invention, four for a utility model, 12 certificates of state registration of a computer program and two certificates of state registration of a database were received.

The scientific and technical peer-reviewed journal “Bulletin of Civil Engineers” has maintained its status and has been assigned to category 1 in the List of Russian peer-reviewed scientific journals.

The Startup Forsage project of the student scientific society won the competition for grants from the federal budget to support student scientific communities, organized by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia.

Significant events for the university include the scientific and technical conference for the 90th anniversary of the Department of Geotechnics, the international conference “Organization and Safety of Road Traffic in Large Cities”, the international scientific and practical conference “Information Modeling in Construction and Architecture”, and the international scientific and practical conference “Architecture. Construction. Transport. Economy”.

We wish the scientists of SPbGASU progress, creative energy and new discoveries!
