The modernization of core structures of the shukhov series

Abstract

The work and architectonics of engineer V.G. Shukhov, as an unsurpassed master, creator of the art of construction in general and core structures in particular, are presented. Not only hyperboloid towers are marked as the peak of this creativity, but also triangular trusses, of the 2nd class of rationality by definition. The possibility of upgrading hyperboloid structures and their collapsible modifications using equally stable U-shaped profiles with bolted fasteners in butt and nodal joints is shown. The further simplification of class 2 farms is indicated due to the rarefaction of their lattices with rod elements of Yand Ψ-like outlines, successfully implemented in construction practice. The stroke of engineer V.G. Shukhov in the bridges of Kislovodsk is marked. The importance of studying his work in the educational process of training specialists, as well as in improving qualifications and skill levels, including skills in solving inventive tasks, is emphasized. The importance of studying his work in the educational process of training specialists, as well as in improving qualifications and skill levels, including skills in solving inventive tasks, is emphasized. It is no less instructive to get acquainted with such creativity as part of the introduction to the specialty for first-year students of secondary and higher educational institutions.
